Chris116 756 Posted May 2, 2022 The problem is that the rules are always written in such a way that they can be interpreted in at least two, and sometimes more, different ways. If the BSPL wrote rules that were clear and concise then the sport would be a lot better off. The current situation with the rules makes the sport a bad joke to many people. The rule on team changes should have clearly stated what was considered the start of the season and then there would have been no arguments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rule on team changes should have clearly stated what was considered the start of the season and then there would have been no arguments. The start of the season is the first official fixture which was way back in March.Any match that is sanctioned by the BSPA/SCB is an official meeting. I have looked at the rules a few times and now i believe the BSPA has made a cock up.First of all Belle Vue should have had their 1-7 declared before the start of the season(rule).Then if Allen was there he was in their declared 1-7.The Premiership only means the teams involved in the top league.So from your initial 1-7 declaration which has to be done before the start of the season you can only make a transfer when 25% of the league fixtures are done.It doesn't matter if you had 20 league cup matches before you would still only be permitted to make changes after 25% of League fixtures that's from the start of your declaration back in March.It's called a Premiership transfer window. I don't think it is to hard to understand that from the start of the season no transfers are allowed until 25% league fixtures are complete. Like i said somewhere before,the rules wouldn't be so bad if certain promoters didn't try bending the rules year after year and the Governing bodies letting them get away with it.Because every time it has gone on then their is a further amendment the following season.The rule book should be 5 times smaller than what it currently is.Mind you half of that is down to Matt Ford 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope NKI can ride on... Getting the top six teams to be clearly of several notches higher than Div 2 has to be a priority.. Using exactly the same riders wont ever do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just can't debate properly! Especially when put out a very well reasoned argument. Theres been plenty of tears around Old Trafford since that game Lisa, Hopefully Ten Hag can oversee the rebuild we are so desperate for, as for Aces very early days, i dont think Zagar neccessarily makes us favourites as some seem to think, today was one of those days, we rode really well Peterborough had a bad day at the office, Harris Nicholls had bike problems Basso was nowhere near the pace, i think we would have won anyway but no doubt it wouldnt have been the landslide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to see that too How great it would be to have a league with Bewley Woffinden Lambert Vaculik Lindgren etc and the likes of Pawlicki(s) Smektala Kubera too as well as more of the Danes..... Not gonna happen though for some time if ever again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it doesn't.You can make a change after the 25% of league matches and not before.The season started officially for many clubs at the start of the league cup.You have to declare your 1-7 before the season starts and then no changes until the the 25% has been concluded.I don't think it is hard to understand.In the past i have enjoyed many posts from Belle Vue fans thought them to be down to earth and honest.Some of them though just seem to have the blinkers on for this rule.

Really so have a look at the Ipswich press release on the signing of Ben Barker. Chris Louis talks about the transfer window being the reason he had to act quickly, it's clear the rule starts from the first league match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
