Oooooo! Controversial... And easily what 100% should happen, personally by December giving 3 months of advertising and for the riders to drum up sponsorship.. Teams change daily in Speedway anyway so it would just be a "cosmetic starting point" anyway... Transfer window could be June and July and then that is it... April and May to build the averages, and after July there will still be plenty of matches left so no team can bring in riders a few weeks before the play offs...

Okay for BV do it though If it's in the rules then it's fine, if it's not then they should wait. Not like they wouldn't be able to do it, just when. I didn’t mention Poole - you did!

ouch 1,191 Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) 13 hours ago, dontforgetthefueltapsbruv said: The bullsh!t being spouted about league and league Cup is just smoke and mirrors to justify the manipulation The regulation applies to the team declarations prior to the start of the season. It doesn't matter what competition has started or otherwise The fact that only League matches are quoted for the 25% makes no difference it still doesn't state you can make changes earlier As Bigcatdiary suggests they simply haven't applied the regulation and instead have copped out with the alternative "best interest" regulation British Speedway has no integrity as a sporting competition as a result If that’s the case then why in previous seasons, teams that ran challenge fixtures still had to wait until 25% of league fixtures had been run before being allowed to make changes? The rules are simple and very clear on this one and it’s terribly embarrassing to see such stupidity displayed on these pages. By the way, I’d like an answer to my question.

There was no 25% rule in previous seasons, evidenced by Lynn booting Craig Cook this time last year after 2 meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What rider did Poole sign at the start of a season on a short term contract and then release before the official “transfer window”? If there isn’t one then there is no comparison to make.

What you’re trying to say is if the boot was on the other foot and Wolves had signed Freddy or Tai in the same situation you would be overjoyed. Pull the other one! To be fair Wolfie when Wolves signed Tai for the play offs only which did us no favours my thought was fair play to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BV66 34 Posted May 2, 2022 On the BSPL website 20th March 2022, it states Douglas wins season opener, so that is when the 2022 season started, therefore BV should not have been allowed to change their then declared team until 25% of the League fixtures had been run. Also BV seasons opener was the Peter Craven, 21st March 2022, as the BSPL site said "Belle Vue launch their season with the Peter Craven". Therefore the season does not start at the first League meeting. It will, be interesting if the regulations are now changed, before the start of 2023 season, otherwise all teams will be using this ruling to make late changes to their declared teams.

But a lot of people weren’t happy and still go on about it now. By the way, it wasn’t just for the playoffs, he rode for us for 5 or 6 meetings prior to the playoffs as well, which, by current rules, would still be allowed.

Really dont understand how important "not changing your line up" is to so many... It's the very essence of sport to try and improve... The line ups change ad hoc somewhere virtually every day/night from Monday to Sunday anyway so what does it really matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
