Absolutely and i don't think anyone is suggesting that should be the case. The BSPA should however give more clarity on why the appeal was unsuccessful.

OK. Let's take this one step at a time..... What were Edinburgh asking them to consider?

Nicely proving my point.

People are either too thick to understand what you’re saying or too pig headed to acknowledge it.

James Grieves and Nick Morris i think.

Jesus, you're touchy.

Natural order mate.

Absolutely spot on.

Why shouldn't they?

It’s not wrong; it’s an opinion and a valid one at that.

Only if they're good enough though. I'm all for supporting British talent but they're not due a speedway career any more than anyone else.

Matthew Pickering any relation?

So my defence of “any club could have signed him on that average” is absolutely valid. Each team were given a list!!

Ah fair enough

What do you think the reason is?

Is Joel’s average approved yet do we know? Could that be holding up the no.7 announcement?

Would expect to see Mark Riss start as the other heat leader. Big pressure since the most experienced second string to provide back up (certainly around Armadale) is probably Josh Pickering. Unless we have enough faith in Joel from the outset.......

You think it was Bickley? I'm thinking Becker or maybe even Fox.

Good man.

I’m still up for the charity bet Gazc.

Exactly what I came on to post. Interesting to see who the 5.00 rider is. Quite a bit of pressure on Ricky and Erik this season.

What requirement didn’t he meet?

Absolutely spot on.

When did Peter Kildermand ride National League speedway?
