Of course it matters, refereeing has been shocking in this country for years now and it’s getting worse, an investigation needs to happen into the standard of refereeing. This is just the tip of the iceberg and has robbed the rightful winners of a league title

to be honest its totally irrelvant what an SCB offical says when its written down in black and white in the rulebook. maybe it will be rewritten which is fine, but its not been rewritten yet and the current rulebook should be adhered too

reading this thread unfortunately i dont think that is the case.

of course i wouldnt as hes more than likely to give someone a hiding.

in my opinion foreign riders shouldnt be able to be reserve especially in the championship

🤡 absolute clown.

if eastbourne comes to tapes it just makes so much more sense to have two leagues of eight.

Even if Poole win (which lets face it they will at a canter) id still put it down as a failed season, with the team they have they should be winning everything.

apart from those times he signed for Belle Vue and Sheffield of course.

Flint was woeful at Scunthorpe which was where the tie was lost, summed it up when he didnt even finish heat 15 and went back to the pits, there were quite a few travelling fans on bend 1 which he totally ignored.

Rising tide lifts all boats.

appreciate the costs are going to be higher but Poole currently have 4 premiership riders in there starting 7, not including Kerr who has done mulitiple seasons in the top flight and still could do a job.

happy beating the giants of plymouth and scunthorpe in the championship apparently.

A lot of things need to happen before any of this slots into place but let’s hope we hear news sooner rather than later as in all honesty rules and regulations for next year should be in place already

They've tinkered around the edges for years with rising stars and whatever they were called beforehand, grading reserves in the championship etc. which led to Boxall and Armstrong at reserve for what was meant to be all season on 7 point averages. Set a points limit and let teams build to it but by all means encourage younger british riders being signed first and foremost, if a team doesnt want a british rider they shouldnt be forced too but with the knowledge they will be signing a rider with a higher average.

should be two in the championship and one in the premiership. I also think instead of forcing teams to sign u21 (or whatever age) there should be a bigger average decreae for british riders in a sliding scale sort of way. Under 21 you get 10% off your average for team building, under 24 you get 5% off, over 24 you get 2.5% off. That way it encourages teams to sign the younger british riders but they are not forced too.

thought Slater had a concussion? how can he ride?

no, 38 is too high too.

reads as 7.50 to me.

I’d have signed Hodder again but that’s without me seeing him every week, not sure he’s worth another season though at this point

can someone convince me a GP at Ipswich is a good idea?

thats AI for you.

Here he is @ArthurRudge

robust and stable 😄

the Kings Lynn one has been pretty good value for the last couple of years to be fair (if you can put up with watching them that is)
