Ipswich 2014

Effectively they will only be oaying 5 riders! Looks a right hash up to me and glad we are out of it! Barker out Howe in and we are under the limit. -
British Speedway Promoters Meeting

So can Adam ride in all 3 leagues? If not how does he benefit effectively only riding at NL level? From his development point of view surely he would be best on the PL. -

Lambert had indicated he wouldnt ride NL so wouldnt be elligible for a reserve berth in the EL if he stuck to this decision!! -

So with the new rules it must be 99.99% sure that Adam will be at Lakeside - but can he ride in all 3 leagues? -

agreed a points limit reduction is only a one season solution and only when the number of teams alters. A norm of 42.5 is about right and if conditions allow trying to tempt a few higher end riders back in future then 45 or do would be a way forward but again only for one season. -

The continual reduction of the limit is a myth. It has not reduced in the last few years and will only reduce next year if there are a number of additional teams - which will only be because it will be closer to the actual average due to the teams joining from the PL having a EL converted total of under 30 (unless 12+ top liners are added) Also a 50 point limit in the 80s is pretty much the same as todays 42.5 when you factor in the fact that the old 50 limit included bonus points. -

A few being a bit harsh on HRFans I think. It may or may not be 12 teams but IF it is then the limit needs to be around 38. Without an influx of a dozen or so higher end riders then a 42+ limit would mean disaster for the newcomers. This is not going to happen as the cost of such is the whole reason for the changes. Leave things as they are and not only do the new teams not move up but a number of the existing would want out and the Elite crumbles anyway. -
Rebels 2014

Doesnt the fact that he has just raced in the NSW U21s show that Brady Kurtz is an Aussie and should be on a 5? -
Isle Of Wight 2014

To put matters into perspective the Chris Holder earnings from just one Polish meeting would just about sort things out. (ps I am not suggesting CH should pay for it!) -
Teams Making The Move Up
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to muirspud's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
In a perfect world yes I agree - but what is the likelyhood of Sky saying do X and we will give you Y within the next 2 weeks? So I would say plan for nothing to be forthcoming unless the above scenario is already in the pipeline. The big danger would be to set out a structure on a 'promise' that then doesnt materialise. -
Teams Making The Move Up

Why would Sky sign a new deal without knowing whats on offer? Surely its down to the AGM to set out Speedways stall and then Sky (or any other) can decide if they want it. -

Ricky Wells - I think he could be a 9 point rider with Foxhall for a home track. -

So long as there is consistency and his situation meets the guidelines/rules then no worries. -
Rebels 2014
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to rustyre bel1's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It has been debated on another thread and the fact that he has ridden in the top Danish League already may have an impact on his starting average. -
Sheffield 2014
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to spin king's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No offence but I hope they dont. In fact quite the opposite - the restrictions should remain as tight as possible. Also any non Brit joining the PL should not br able to drop below their initial assessed average. That way if they are good enough to add something to the league they will find a place and if not they wont block a space to give a young Brit a chance. -
