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 !!!

Speedway Heaven.... A Poole Thrashing :D

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 !

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!!!

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.

Masters 9+1, Thorssell 7, Howarth 6, Morris 6, Anderson 2, Sarjeant 1 At this rate they could enter the Championship without making any changes

Kings Lynn are doing a job on us, simple as that. They are up for it and we went into the meeting not bothered. Top spot wasn’t in reach after the loss at Swindon. It really is as simple as that.

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.

Confirmed that Vastervik v Vetlanda is the TV match next Tuesday September 4th

2018 rule 16.3.4 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.

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 !!

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

Whoever told you is wrong !!

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...

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

Isnt it strange that soon as we changed both reserves we have had 2 away wins and a 2 point defeat at wolves. We was no where near an away win with jye or drozdz in team

Where on earth have you got that from?

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!!

There are a couple of ladies. And some big girls blouse .

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.

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

Another example of reserves winning meetings is now at Workington, a former no1 is now a reserve & beating riders that he couldn't do before. It is also about team building & Newcastle & Berwick are proving that you don't need no1's but strength in depth to win meetings as their reserves, between them, often score 15+.

Name any other sport with a standing start where the athletes/drivers/Riders are allowed to anticipate the start? F1? No. WRC? No. Swimming? No Athletics? No MotoGP? No A standing start is about standing still and react to a start signal. It is not about chancing / anticipating the start. Transponders would solve this problem. You do allot of start testing and decide which reaction time should be the limit. This can the be monitored during the start and it would be easy to see if it is a good start or a chance start.

Lakesides last meeting at arena essex fri 14th sep then start at rye house soon after
