This rule has affected, is affecting, us. However whilst I totally agree it's an awful rule, I get why it's in place. Imagine "cough" cough" certain promoters bringing in ringers in the latter stages of the season to win the league for them. As usual the many are hampered by the "dodgy" few, who spoil it for everyone.

Awesome performance by the Stars. The form team going into the play offs and fingers crossed they can bring home their first top league title!

But someone did so it was changed and now genuine cases are being punished

I can do these for £39.99 or 2 for £74.99

It's about time the BSPA told riders to make up their mind where their priorities lye,then sort out our leagues with what's left.Its the only way forward as even our young talent will be enticed abroad much quicker in their career.

Hope you enjoyed your "free practice"

Like TJ 2, 3, 0 MPT 3, 3, 0, 1 Riss 2', 0, 3, XT There all at it

Scunny needed to have started on the 28th to have a chance

Surely if your full team is available thats what it should be .We are always moaning about rider shortage and in this case not necessary

The Somerset team manager admitted to doctoring the track on TV Shame as it spoilt the entertainment value of the meeting.

Heat five from match two http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/_mobile/news.php?extend.35414

To be fair (and I am not sticking up for the BSPA) I dare say it’s been written like that because teams in the past have brought in ringers for the play offs and cup finals.

woooooosschh!

Can't see Belle Vue winning now with Dan Bewley out , Kings Lynn have a chance but the favourites are Somerset in my view. I would imagine if Kings Lynn are top the would choose Belle Vue and if Somerset are top they would choose Poole.

Thanks Bald bloke..... I'm just hoping that Brundle doesn't post that its defo on.... Then I will know not to travel

A route taken by many a disgruntled speedway fan i fear. Miss- Sigh -Gone.

It seems strange that a club cannot replace a rider with season ending injuries after the cut off date. Some common sense would surely be in order in these circumstances...

Prob matt ford !

Yeah good lad that Rosco!!

On another thread another poster has just described the bloke from Monster as 'an absolute penis of a man'. I am unsure whether this is more perception than fact. But it does seem a reasonable conclusion from the evidence.

That is what is known as a joke, like many of your posts!

Despite his big upturn in form I think Callum Walker could be victim of this, with him effectively being rested so a guest can be used for Danyon. That gives you back 4 heat leaders and walker rr = 1 heat leader and 3 reserve rides. Which is far stronger then 3 heat leaders and, Hume rr = flint, walker plus 2 reserve rides.

I thought neil been doing the track in recent weeks been on holiday ?

VOR does not help his case when criticising JC for things over which he has no control (i.e. stadium seating) - his general bitterness, coupled with a total inability 'to let it go' tend only to make him a laughing stock amongst the more rational forum members.

Riss is a major boost for Kings Lynn and Simon Lambert is pretty good at home shame for Garrity but Riss is far better.

Surely thats mid morning form !!!

where are all your so called premiership riders going to come from then , the N.J.L. ? ERIK RISS .... EDINBURGH. TY PROCTOR....WORKINGTON. M.P.T .... SOME OTHER TEAM ! SIMON LAMBERT .... PETERBOROUGH . RICHIE WORRALL.... EDINBURGH . NICOLAI KLINDT .... WORKINGTON . CHRIS HARRIS .... GLASGOW . DONT KNOW WHERE THE POOLE NO 7 RIDES, THINK ITS BERWICK ? so 1/2 of the 14 riders ride in the championship .. prob more !

Let's face facts it doesn't matter what track(possibly NSS excluded) it's gate and go nowadays majority of the time.

I really hope all the promoters this winter agree to amend the regulations to allow clubs to find a replacement for injured riders any time of the season. The point of the transfer window should be to stop clubs strengthening at the last min before the playoffs and gaining an unfair advantage. Its grossly unfair to penalise clubs that have just been unlucky and are in no way gaining an advantage. If the promoters actually listened to the fans then I guarantee most fans think this rule is crazy.

Oh come on!!! We were winning 95% of the meeting last time and now we are getting the thrashed. No one is that thick to think it's genuine are they? It's either 1. Matt wants KL in SF or 2. Averages must come down, could have Brady at reserve at this rate!! Or maybe it's a bit of both.

your wrong we are not good enough

Give over. Poole want to finish top aswell to give you a chance to face us if we get 4th. Easy picking. So it was an important match for u. It also sends a warning to Lynn ahead of play offs if u won

Shovlar, spazman, Mr x, Mrs armchair. . . .where you hiding???????

Crazy hey... I do understand it would have to have certain rules with so promoters couldn't pull a fast one to strengthen, but with injuries like broken bones/head injuries/long term surely sense should prevail ..BSPA say no more

One of the best races I've ever seen! When I show what Speedway is to someone I always try and dig out that one. Tell me if I'm wrong but isn't that guy in the black monster shirt Woffies pre steroid mechanic? Speaking of which isn't one of the two big guys missing. I was thinking that they have to work in a pair......in torqueing a bolt to just 15# one of them would be tightening and the other one holding him back.

I thought that before when the signing window had closed, clubs were permitted to replace an injured rider, subject to the following conditions:- The replacement had a GSA equal or below that of the injured rider The replacement was not already riding for another club in that particular league The replacement is already an asset of the club seeking to replace their injured rider

The hole should not be there in the first place, but as long as visiting riders look out for the holes and avoid them while trying to race it's ok then !!

Can't see us getting anything out of this, did I just say that. Lol. Day out by the seaside before going back to work tomorrow after 6 weeks off.

Looks great doesn't it? I am 'old skool'!

The dont think need for reserves is necessary any more. I'd still keep it 7 man teams, make the top 2 rider's at 1 & 5, and the 2 lowest at 6 & 7. With current rules, we now have R/R and I/R/R. The only change I'd make to the rules is that I/R/R is allowed if a team is using R/R already. Each rider can only take 1 ride. Also, with R/R and I/R/R it should be 2 rider's with a higher or the same average and all rider's with a lower average. This then would (If the No7 was injured) only leave 1 heat with 3 rider's only. But if a team uses I/R/R that injured rider is sidelined for 8 days minimum. This way, the need for reserves to take 7 rides is unnecessary to the sport, and rightly so.

The guys have been working frantically with the readymix so the track should be without that rut/hole for the next home meeting and the play-offs. Unfortunately there will now be a bump which might deter some from sticking their front wheel across the white line when they miss the gate?!

What a complete numpty you are.

An absolute penis of a man. Since his involvement the GPs have turned into a bit of a farce.

I don’t believe so - Art 16.3.4 reads: No Team changes will be allowed after 12TH August with the effective date being 15th August, except for riders returning to the Team after injury who must re-take their position, dictated by their MA with their replacement being released.

if thats the case any reason why Scunthorpe re-arranged fixtures when their No1 wasnt back?

But you have him mixed up with someone else!!

The Championship clubs will stick to what they have IMO .The Premiership are hardly in a position to dictate much.

Oh man don't leave me with that to work out my head is mash up at the moment

I thought we could not find anyone better than Jack Smith ?

What a wonderful Idea it was for the BSPA to choose Wednesday as our Fixed Race Night…. 'Brainless' !! At least our Second division teams don't have the worry of clashing with those Danish Teams
