Once he got going he looked much quicker, Joonas was way quicker tho. I really hope Riss does end up at Wolves.

Common sense and I hope that ruling is adhered to. Couldn't care less if NBJ is named in the stars squad, wish the lad well and the team. Looking forward to seeing him and Kai if either are in the side when you come to Monmore. I also couldn't care less if Kai rides most of the matches and NBJ only a few. Just for clarity if would be nice to hear that Kai is the number 8 (as he is exactly what the new rider number 8 position is for) and NBJ is a named squad rider. That makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense if Kai rides all the matches. What doesn't make sense is that NBJ is named number 8 as he doesn't qualify for that particular ruling. It really should be that simple.

British speedway is in trouble, not any 1 league. A point I have been making for years. Well done for ignoring the obvious but the expected retort. You never fail to deliver.

Just back from the press and practice. Joonas and Fred looked very quick, Fred I think was on a Gerhard engine? Joonas had number one on his bike and kit. The rest I couldn't make out or hear. Cradley and MDL riders also taking part. Meant to add Erik Riss looked awesome too!

I can't imagine that was its original intention but no doubt twisted to suit some clubs due to the rule not being clear as per usual.

Sad news indeed. Just waiting for all the rose tinted PL fans to tell us all is fine in their league as of course it's only the EL that is in a mess.

the way they have built they would be unable to anyway now, How can he be a number 8? Isn't that position designed for 'new' foreigners? (Dennis Jonsson at Lakeside the perfect example) NBJ fails to qualify in that category as an established PL performer.

I'm aware he would be a named 1-5 rider but I thought a PL rider had to be a 'shared' role? I ask the question because I questioned why Poole weren't using Jack Holder in their squad but they can't because they have none of their top 5 as double up riders.

Those options seem to be the ones that are within the rules. Maybe eventually Lynn will give a more accurate press release!

I thought riders signed from the PL for the squad need to be in a sharing role? He certainly wouldn't quality as a newcomer.

It's as I expected. Proves there is way too much work to do to rectify the problem.

I believe a statement is due from God claiming those in the know knew the winter forecast was set to ruin the opening night and gave warning last week. But that was ignored so all blame absolved.

They would be foolish if they do.

It's not our fault, it's not the BSPA's fault. I mean really???? Just whose fault do they assume it is? its clear no lessons have been learned by those in charge of our sport as is usual it's always someone else's fault. Do they seriously believe anyone is buying the options of running Friday? They had the track tested last week yet that proved nothing. Even if they offered assurances, free entry,free parking, a free easter egg and a £20 gift voucher I still wouldn't waste my time going on Friday. I guess promoters really do think supporters will buy any guff announcement.

Can't see its even a consideration it will be on. Can't see anyone believing the promotion if they say it's fixed.

Is anyone seriously still considering going after the farce of yesterday? I was looking forward to some racing on good Friday but think I will wait till the B fixture.

Gotta say a must agree. Was hugely looking forward to good Friday but now I'm not making the effort going if there us no respect for travelling fans. Huge own goal for the Aces promotion.

You beat me to it. As usual, standard result which proves even the weakest of top flights is way stronger than the PL. Standard. What a surprise. RMC missing the point entirely.

He is bound to have the odd decent meeting.

Looking superb.

Of course, fair point.

That's what I meant.

It would have been exactly the same if a 4 point assessed rider moved up into the main body of the team as it always was back in the day.Are you saying that never happened? ? It's exactly the same as before. Better to have a rider move up as reward for progress than keep him at reserve and gain minimal progress. Better that rider is a brit as well.

I thought he might have been named as a squad rider tho.

Or often in his case.
