Scott wants to race - thats one of the 9

Your face fits perfectly in the right setting Baldy.... Crimewatch

Crowd just like the play off and cup finals

It will depend if he is in favour and who wants to sign him....

For both it will be their Premiership figure x 1.3

Your could cheer yourself ho(a)rse if he signs

As the saying goes Many a true word said in jest.....

The decision now may be ' because its Peterborough' However originally Scott had an offer at Lakeside which was blocked He also had contact from another Championship club which he declined If the MC had decided to reintroduce the over 6 rule (removed in 2017) then Im puzzled as to why that other club spoke to him Perhaps it was only after that refusal the goalposts were moved......

Fair enough BCD

Perhaps I do.....

Who says Chapman doesnt agree with him???

Perfectly valid as UK employment law is there to protect UK citizens not foreign nationals.....

Quite ironic really that the young white British male finds himself as the 'token' in the team

Doubling up was originally intended to give up and coming British riders the chance of experience in the top league without the risk of losing their 2nd tier place It soon mushroomed out of all recognition due to the usual self interest over riding a perfectly sensible original ethic If it is to stay long term lets go back to Brits only at anytime with restrictions to 1 or 2 years for non Brits (if at all)

Next plan - Sedgmen is injured

I see you point and no doubt that has been behind more than a few decisions However I would hope that in this case that not the right time means because it is now rather than because it is Edinburgh asking

Id say that means they feel discretion should remain part of the regs but that now is not the right time to apply it

I dont think Peterboroughs involvement has anything to do with it. They didnt get involved until many weeks after the original scenario unfolded....

''These procedures were clarified and implemented forcibly in recent years when British Speedway ran a serious risk of losing the use of all visa riders'' That last paragraph is the BSPA reasoning for declining the appeal. They obviously feel that if they did apply discrection now it could put the whole system at risk

A real possibility

As an aside Manzares has been granted a new visa on the basis of his 4th place Accepting that Becker MAY have finished 3rd would push Manzares down to 5th in the notional standings and not qualifying for a visa To grant Becker may then lead to having to rescind the already granted Manzares visa to still be within the guidelines

How about if its so important to stop a rider over 6 then why are ALL not blocked regardless of having a Championship average The irony also is that Scott wouldve ridden more meetings at Championship level guesting than a number of riders who did obtain an established average

Geoff Geoff where are you? Theyre talking about Kings Lynn now At least when it was Poole it was about play off rivals

On this basis Ipswich would be KoCup winners in 2017 Lost Schlein in leg 1 and King in leg 2 Both were in top 3 points scorers and heat winners during the season Using these average likely scores Ipswich wouldve won If Becker qualifies for a visa and a team spot then Boro need to hand over the cup.... Absurd? Yes of course it is - just like the visa appeal.....

Criteria not met - simple as.
