As it was Jenga Id just assumed it was a bit of an ar$e! -

Dont quite see that but agree a good chance he will improve on his last attempt. Gives the Monarchs the chance to keep the stronger top end options so would expect it to be good for you guys. -

Covatti was 1 ride away from being in the GPs What more do you want - a rider with GP experience!? -
Somerset 2015

I dont buy this one. Even IF they werent present, which I would find unlikely, I would very much doubt that the only communication they woukd receive is the standard press release. Surely promotions would be provided with detailed minutes and/or a full summary of agreed changes? -

Id say its impossible to say if he is wrong given we dont know who the alternative is and why it may be a better choice for the club. Personally I am disappointed that Adam has potentially had his place in the team taken by a non British newcomer. That is no sleight on whoever comes in if the planned line up does indeed go ahead. They will be a Witch and I will want them to be successful. However I have stated many times I believe PL reserve berths should be British only and the aim should be at least 4 Brits each team. Idealistic? Yes. Realistic? Perhaps not immediately but unless you start somewhere you end up going nowhere. -
Good luck to Morten.

Or perhaps we are not affected - an EU rider with no professional league experience is a 5. Or has that changed as well? -
Somerset 2015
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to coomie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
no one sniped at Berwick as no one seemed to know about the revision.Posters were praising Somerset initially at putting together another excellent side. Only a little later did the new 7 assessed position emerge. As yet there has been no official confirmation that this is actually in place - only a few independant comments of what they say was agreed at the agm. -
Workington 2015
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
it was in jest - I just like using the quirky worky magic converter line!Your team is within the rules - some of those rules may be outdated some may have been changed to suit a few at the agm but you are within them ( thanks to Camptons 2 year visa apparently -wink) -
Workington 2015
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
have to agree you havent built to 44.5. Thanks to the quirky worky magic converter its actually about 46.wink -
Somerset 2015
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to coomie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Officially the reduction is available to any rider progressing from the NL so does not in itself exclude EU riders and is therefore not againt the laws.The fact that the NL as a development league is also exempt from EU law on employment matters means that the discount is effectively to British riders only. For once that is quite clever by the BSPA! -

Any British rider within 3 years of acheving their first average still gets 2.5% reduction and quite right too. -
Workington 2015
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to jenga's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I understand Worky have issued a statement re the Holder assessed average of 5 saying it should be 7. Isnt part of the proposal that any visa is subject to the rider attaining their assessed average within 2 seasons to be able to renew? Mason Campton - has he done that? -
Somerset 2015

Another major change in the regs that is not announced! Do Somerset have a leg to stand on? Who knows until there is official statements to confirn the change or not. I for one had no inkling of this increase and nothing had been brought up when others signed elsewhere. I jumped on the Kurtz bandwagon last year because I thought it was wrong. With Holder Im yet to be convinced it is a similar attempt to push the limit (pun intended) -

So is it confirmed as Josh G R Worrall B Kurtz C Wright J Holder P Starke O Greenwood -
Since the time when the 'issue' arose with the riders mentioned the conversion rate had been altered from 0.5 to 0.6 to attempt to rebalance the inter league strengths. Then to combat the skewed format a further change has been made this winter. Therefore IMO the MPT rule is outdated. However it is there and has been rightly administered and too late to change now even if the will was there to do so.

As would any team built to 46.5 points when the rest can only go to 42.5
