It doesn't need to mention the league cup. The League Cup precedes the Premiership so changes can't be made until 25% of league fixtures are completed. It's not difficult to understand. Also Jake Allen is a declared rider whose 28 day contract is irrelevant as he WASN'T granted facility status. The rules the same if the League Cup Final happens after 75% of Premiership fixtures, team won't be allowed changes for that fixture either. It really isn't hard to understand at all

We'd be on 762 pages at least

Put it this way. This current Belle Vue team with Jake Allen wouldn't make top 4. Belle Vue illegally add Matej Zagar, this will push King's Lynn outside the Play-Off's. Is that right & fair?? Belle Vue should rightful continue until the 25% is completed with Jake Allen. Belle Vue could well still make top 4 from that point but then at least it's done in the correct way. Surely 5 league fixtures with Jake Allen isn't that much pain for Belle Vue? Then they can have a 15 meeting charge & prove themselves with Zagar

See below It's clear as day to me that this clearly means as it says. The League Cup matches precede Premiership matches so the rule stats changes can't happen until after 25% of league matches. At no point does it say Premiership only. Belle Vue signing Zagar is illegal. Also, regardless whether Belle Vue offers a 28 day contract to a rider it to doesn't stand up within the rules. The contract issued by Belle Vue ISN'T a facility as Jake Allen didn't cover a previously declared rider. He becomes an officially declard rider. Zagar could be signed as a new 28 day facility but only if there's a genuine reason for Jake Allen to be missing, to which there isn't. No matter how you look at it, unless you're totally bias this deal with Zagar shouldn't be ratified according to the rules. This is British Speedway though so anything goes

We all love a conspiracy, so how about this one! When we built the initial 8 Kildemand was signed with the intention to never ride for King's Lynn. This way it allowed Iversen to ride until May, prior to the Danish & Swedish leagues starting. From May 1st Kildemand will refuse to return to the UK & be issued a ban (to which he doesn't give a s#!+ about). Thus giving King's Lynn the chance to replace Kildemand in the initial declaration prior to the 25% fixtures rule. Some will say no chance but everything slots in to place & favours all 3 assets. King's Lynn got Iversen Iversen got what he needed Kildemand happy with just his Polish payroll.

So would I but he is generally awful around the AFA

Belle Vue doing a Poole in 2022, breaking rules

A bit early to be calling that Baggy lad. 100% he alone has given you a shot in the arm to love the sport again though hasn't he?! Good to read that there's a bit of buzz around the place again but there are still major concerns, we have to fix that No1 / No5 slot when Iversen moves on. It will be huge for the most important part of the season, the league. Could be the difference in matching Sheffield or 2nd bottom. We're way to good for the wooden spoon, Ipswich have that nailed on which is a beautiful sight

Needs to get away from Hawkins

Fingers crossed, fill the gap well King's Lynn have a genuine chance imo

Basso is clearly a talent, do you think he can maintain the form in the 1-5?? Peterborough's strength for the Premiership will be the fact any of the 1-6 could spend time at reserve, that's a huge advantage. Peterborough has excellent strength in depth. Stronger than Sheffield, their power is from the 1-5. That No6 position could be the difference in winning the league. King's Lynn could be in the conversation too if they can fill that massive 7.62 Iversen gap

So great to read that the AFA has finally produced some racing to be proud of, plus a win to boot. Fingers crossed for those that have stuck around it continues, obviously it's impossible to have every meeting a belter but hopefully this is a start. What was different to usual?? Will be a huge concern for the start of the Premiership when Iversen finishes his 28 day contract for the club & fans. Regardless of results going forward, Jorgensen, Lawson & Pickering should entertain (when on form). Kerr, Worrall & Jorgensen swapping places at reserve so always strong at No6. There is hope but can the management find someone to fill a 7.62 gap?!?

AllYouCanEatChineseBuffetitis I'm hearing

King's Lynn are losing Iversen with no viable replacement. Will be a scrap for 4th between Belle Vue, Ipswich & King's Lynn

No, Wolves should be lower league (training track), the Premiership should be full throttle racing. Would have Glasgow replace Wolves, possibly bring Leicester & Poole back up

I'm with you, moved just outside of Wolverhampton 5 years ago & been twice. Absolutely detest the place. For me, it's not Speedway as it should be

Why would any team sign Batchelor & Heeps fgs. Funny though

Exactly this ^^^ I genuinely hope the 'Day Before' call-offs becomes the norm. It's so much better for fans thinking as the previous options used to create real anger. Anger at Buster for opening gates Anger at rider's for refusing to ride Electricity costs Fuel costs Staff expenses Etc etc. British Speedway clubs can't afford these costs of a call-off & neither can the fans afford the wasted travel. Fans need to accept times are different & tight belts are needed. Just because a club owned by a multi-millionaire ran a meeting doesn't mean it's financially viable for all.

Should be 28 days from first official fixture; 31st March. 28th April v Ipswich (H) should be Kildemand's return

Not sure what's achieved here either. Racing to heat 10 to get a result isn't an achievement. Some of those their tonight may feel they wished the meeting had been called off, it's another short-changing for the punters.

I'm all for moaning when things are wrong but the management are absolutely bang on with this decision. We've all complained many a time about turning up at tracks, watching tractors & blading going round & round only to be called off anyway. The cost of running electric, fuel, staff etc will be extortionate in 2022 so clubs can't risk it. The costs to fans in fuel travel is extortionate & many more than usual wouldn't turn up with a threat of rain, especially the cold early season. I'd hope this has become the norm now

So are the Kildemand 'not returning' rumours true then?? Supposedly injured for the first month yet rides tonight in Poland for Gniezno

We've never been a proper team in the top flight. We're the prop-up team in the top flight.

Like i said

People are easily pleased, seen better at King's Lynn
