Unless the regs have been amended then Bukhave would be on a 4 (min for any non Brit)

Id say that means their registration is held by the BSPA who could at any time transfer that to a club with the rider having no say - thats very different from being a free agent

Riders have not been allowed to retain control over their own registration for some time now It is a requirement to sign this over to a club in order to ride outside the NL Yes Drew would/did have a choice where he signed but would not have been allowed to ride in the Championship without signing over his registration to a team Clubs can only now sign British assets without qualifying meetings - any other rider registration requires the minimum qualifying meetings to have been ridden Clubs can no longer sign a list of foreign riders and just loan them out

See when you believe this how can we trust anything you say Have you still got those Witches in storage that you planned to blow up when you scored a 5-1?

A side issue but this is where the 'asset' system question rears its head again Why should Drew automatically have become a Witches asset (registration holder) in order to have ridden those 7 Championship meetings? Im not saying he wouldnt have chosen too anyway but to have no choice is wrong

The 2.5% reduction will only apply to achieved averages 2 pointers are assessed so wont receive it

Depends who is put forward how free thinking they are whether ideas 'from the floor' actually get presented No good if its just a puppet of the promotion

Unless the regs have changed Stewart as a non brit would be on a min 4 average

If so it may work the same way as rider transfer by stage payment - payment stops and ownership reverts back....

That was certainly the reg in 2018 but I havent seen it confirmed anywhere as to which figure applies in 2019 If the new conversion isnt applied then reducing doubling will be less effective as the increasing conversion rate will never apply to any rider remaining in both leagues every year It would then mean they are not affected until they retire which surely defeats the object

Each side will host a round of the British Youth Championships too

I would hope thats exactly the sort of thing the powers that be would welcome if done properly Perhaps its something they should already be doing.....

Until there is any action that suggests otherwise I'm happy to take the positives from the situation We have all 3 teams in the same league and at the current highest level - 2019 could be a great year and one to remember for all the right reasons

I think its understandable for fans of all 3 clubs to have some reservations about the situation but until any actions prove otherwise then I am happy to take the positives for all parties The league structure has been stabilised The Witches are in the league that in 2019 best suits them Peterboroughs future is extended Kings Lynn fans get to feel all superior for a while (temporarily of course )

League leaders straight to the semi final stage with next next 6 into quarter finals

This is a point I also raised and I agree that resetting the conversion straight away would work in reducing yhe numbers It may be just a bit more drastic than could be coped with over 1 winter though

A pitiful 38 limit you say Gazc yet you didnt use .82 of it

Probably at this time Bacon was one of if not the most improved riders in the Championship in 2018 - a great shame he ended up on the injured list Given that Id say he would be better in the 2nd tier again next year but if he comes back strong after the injury could well be capable of a breakthrough to the next level

Perhaps they are fed up with burgers and fancy some steak so to speak

So has the non Brit min 4 average rule been scrapped as well then.....

It was a pleasure to have you amongst us at Foxhall All the best fella

I would suggest quizzes as a solution to the Chris Harris funding gap but by his own admission he isnt smarter than a 10 year old

In Zagar and Harris you have named 2 riders that traditionally asked for large guarantees and have gone missing when they have a bit of a strop so I would be wary of signing either

No doubt - dont think the guest rule has been abolished
