  1. 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.

  5. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  16. 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...

  17. 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.

  19. 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.

  21. 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.

  25. A couple of weeks ago, all we got from Poole fans was " We're top of the League", now all of a sudden after a complete thrashing they never wanted to win the league anyway!!!

  26. 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.

  29. 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

  30. I didn't mean crazy because of the Comets, I remember thinking it was wrong last year that riders couldn't be replaced. Probably brought in to stop shenanigans but surely in some cases common sense should apply. Ooops, it's the BSPA.

  35. 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.

  36. So now that there is incontrovertible evidence from 2 videos that there indeed was a hole on bend 1 despite certain BSF members denying that this hole existsed, is it possible that Poole speedway are behind other conspiracy theories such as 9/11, the moon landings and the assassination of Kennedy...

  43. Of course, what the idiot doesn’t realise is that every track including Lakeside cannot race unless there is a valid track certificate. The track certificate can only be renewed after an inspection be an SCB inspector, and has to be renewed every three years. The inspection includes safety fences and airfences, and if it appears to ANY referee that the track has fallen below the required standard a further inspection may be ordered. Mick Bates did the last official track certificate in 2017, so it still has nearly 2 years to run. Voice of Reason is talking out of his rear end as usual . If he really was a clerk of the course as he falsely claims he would know all about track certificates.Instead he has just made a fool of himself yet again.
