While Rowe is a rising star and bates isn't (in real life terms) how can Rowe a none rising star as he choose not to be guests for bates????? Not knocking Rowe as extra rides will only help British speedway in the long term. Another way of looking at it. Bates on his 4 risingbstar average is replaced by Rowe who from tomorrow gets a 5.49 average. Speedway rules eh What rules ? Is that the book, written in pencil by one of the top table that can be altered quickly depending on which clubs are involved ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So technically. He can ride as a proper rider for Ipswich. But also sign as a rising star for say belle vue or Sheffield and have 2 teams in 1 league.

Any rider on the Rising Star list is entitled to guest for another RS of the same grade or lower. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/risingstars21 Edited June 30, 2021 by NeilWatson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,277 Posted June 30, 2021 To be honest, having Rowe there improves the entertainment from my perspective.. It's £36 for me and the lad tomorrow and having him there instead of Bates should mean a closer match and racing.. However.. I can dispassionately "couldn't care less" who wins, but maybe those that still see league racing in the UK as "real" may not... And that unfortunately is the ultimate downfall of the way the sport is ran.. Eventually you pee the die hards off (your biggest, most loyal fans), so much that they then lose their enthusiasm and (more importantly), their attendance.. Finally.. Is Jack there or have Torun got a meeting Friday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
