Buying a team place basically.....should keep them to himself then he might get a few points

All the above makes sense. As stated above if a rider signs for Redcar first then Stoke, Redcar get priority. If Redcar drop said rider and then Scunthorpe signs them Stoke get priority as they signed the rider first. The simple solution however it is likely to see the birth of 2+ year contracts offered to riders and advance signings. For example Scunthorpe have already stated they want to include Palin in their 2020 side, its likely that Belle Vue would also but technically Scunny have him signed first.

Replacing one reserve who Redcar knew would be a sacrificial lamb with another who can't score any points but is pally with the promotion but no other riders whilst hurting the prospects of another struggling UK club. Nope nothing wrong with that. Unless clubs can learn to look after the interests of the sport as a whole rather than short term individual ambition there will be very few teams left to compete against.

and screwed Plymouth in the process, who have already been screwed by Wally previously this season. I was enjoying Redcars success but this is a crazy move and i hope Wally brings Redcar every joy and happiness.

Ridiculous situation. His signing should never have been sanctioned as the clubs run on the same day. I hope Plymouth immediately part company with Wally as he has screwed them over several times this season. His arrogance and delusion that he belongs in the Championship is laughable but hopefully all other sides see him for who he is and this will be the last season he irritates fans and promoters alike.

The prevention of riders doubling up from the NDL or higher leagues taking priority will ultimately come at a cost. When Eastbourne were last in the league they did not sign any riders who were doubling up (and insisted upon it). Others will follow suit if they lose the priority time and time again especially if it see's their seasons suffer as a result. I can see teams being built full of mediocre riders who are unlikely to step up to the next division conquering over the season against teams with double uppers who miss a multitude of meetings.

Terrible choices both been there done it and heading backwards riders. Give Bewley & Worrall a crack (obviously i wished it could have been Danny but now he is crocked it won't be the same without him)

Get well soon Danny. Top bloke and deserves a bit better luck than he often gets dealt.

Urgh bet that tastes awful

always suspected you were fruit loops.....

Fish curry nom nom, most curry to be fair just beware if you are ever standing next to me on the terraces

Strong result from 3 rider Kent to pinch the win o the night despite choosing under performing guests with Wally who needs to do better as a championship rider and Barnes learnt the hard way that his equipment needs far greater investment and maintenance to get near this level. An off night for a few of the home side and Flint especially let the meeting slip away but credit for all riders for completing all 15 races when higher leagues wouldn't have unpacked their vans and Jon Cook thinks this is an inferior product.

Nice confidence booster for the Warriors but always should have been given the opposition. Stoneman & Coles were always going to be competitive but its no surprise that they both had a lay on the track also. Reserve battle was a non starter with out of form Sealey & non riding Tedham against the two regular riders it would have caused alarm if they didn't score well. That said i hope all the travelling Oxford fans enjoyed their night and seeing the Cheetahs back on track.

Nobody at the cricket today would be on this forum.....unless you are an aussie . Who is actually going and is looking forward to meeting plastic pam the girlfriend?

Likewise this is a great opportunity for Widman to prove he still is deserving of a team position. Its often hard to be critical of the IOW promotion but team building is one area that seems to lack compared to other sides and entering August this could have been a good chance to look at potential new riders rather than pack the tail end with ex Warriors that have been offering little or no progression.

Have we reached a point where everyone is signed for 1 month only and has the chance to move around on the first of each month? Riders can step away or be replaced freely. Yes it will be a mess and burn the last of any loyalty shown but with credibility at an all time low is it better to make it an official practice and at least accept the sport is flawed rather than the deceit that shines through.

Looks a side that shouldn't trouble IOW for the overall result but a few riders that can mix it up a bit. Tedham getting another invite after failing to arrive previously and having not ridden all year is an odd choice. However the main thing is raising the profile of Oxford Speedway and every small step helps.

Move blocked?

Luke Barnes? Has Chris Hunt gone mental or are Kent totally out of touch regarding available unattached riders. I can concede that Wally is coming into a little bit of form and guests who will travel / are Northern based makes sense but choosing a rider from Suffolk to travel to Manchester and take 3 rides is just barmy.

i bet that's quite a listen.

BUt was that luck or judgement? Given the standard of the only two other riders capable of doing it so far id say the first. I fear Alfie needs to be careful, if he gains a reputation of taking riders down he will end up with his card marked and end up on the receiving end of some targeted moves by oppositions.

Shhhh don't let the cat out of the bag. All the results and league positions are decided at the AGM at the start of the season. #TrumanShow

£20 for a double header (Champs & NL) looks a decent prospect especially with 2 x good matches lined up. I would imagine the pits will be a nightmare though?

This season has been a shake up although Stormy Whethers, Stevie Worrall & Danny Phillips have all featured over recent seasons. If Stu Robson hadn't retired he would have been in the side also. Not saying its good bad or other just that the side has a very familiar feel to it over the years.
