I intended too quote the whole rule, cut and paste error on my part. Would the MC use its power - well that is pretty much impossible to second guess

And a further problem is 16.3.3 A rider in a Team's declared 1 - 7 at the end of the previous season and not included in that Team’s new season’s initial declaration may not be subsequently re-introduced into that Team from the 2018 Rulebook

That's the value of the pies, they're down as antiques

Unless the rules have changed Kerr won't be at reserve. In past years the 2.5% reduction has only applied in determining declared seven, not riding order.

Yes noted. The Rebels team looked top heavy to start with and now looks even more vulnerable. Atkins and Rowe are both promising young talents but they really need to be riding with a strong first reserve to take off some of the pressure. It means that Grobauer will be very unlikely to get a spell at reserve no matter how badly he struggles.

I would presume that Kent speedway have also appealed the previous decision. That is what usually happens when the planning ctte misdirects itself. If I was the applicants agent I would be telling the planning officers loud and clear that they should accept the new application ( which would allow the council to determine conditions) rather than allowing the previous application to go to the Planning Inspectorate in Bristol ( who would probably approve it without conditions)

I have little time for Spelman or Dromey, or delicate little snowflakes who throw around words like 'treason' simply because someone has the temerity to disagree with them.

Actions speak louder than words. As the author of the 'hostile environment' policy while at the home office the one thread that has been consistent throughout May's politics over the last nine years is her resistance to migration, it has driven her entire approach to negotiating Brexit and is in part responsible for the mess we are currently in. ( Germany is not without its problems at the moment, but you are probably better off there than being back in the UK.)

Statements from May aren't worth the paper they are written on. Without seeing detailed regulations it is impossible to say with any certainty. Secondly May is VERY clear about limiting the number of new arrivals. If so I don't think speedway riders will be ahead of (say) healthcare staff.

But it is not clear if that is linked to the transitional period in the May deal. If so then it may not apply if the May deal falls. And doesn't the transitional period to end of 2020 relate to EU citizens already in the UK applying for settled status?

Yes iris123 says eu citizens will be treated like other foreign nationals. So Grobauer ( like Luke Becker last year) would not get a work permit as he did not finish in the top four of his national championship. Hope this helps you to understand the situation

So when were Brexit arrangements signed off? I must have missed that. Given that ending freedom of movement is one of May's red lines and that Javid and May regularly talk about reducing migration it seems that any outcome that doesn't involve one of the softer options ( such as EFTA or Norway) will result in restrictions on EU nationals working in the UK. Whether assurances about Europeans already working here are relevant given that Grobauer will be self-employed and his first engagement in the UK will be after 29 March is impossible to guess at. Of course if we have May's deal ( or variant thereof) or extension to article 50 then the issue is deferred until 2020 or a subsequent season. Not withstanding the Parliamentary vote (Spelman/Dromey) hard Brexit is still on the table. So who knows what will happen.

Yes. Which is why I pose the question.

This could be a problematical signing if there is a hard Brexit.

Might be because he is in the Polish squads of Leszno ( extraliga) and Rawicz ( league 2)

Sticking to those I have seen the five that impressed me most were: Jessica Lamb, Carly Gittus, Hayley Perault, Charlene Kirtland and Rachelle Kerr (sister of Chris). Sabrina Bogh is undoubtedly the best female rider of the modern era; Celine Liebmann and Maja Aamand look to be the best of those currently active

Now Dave DeTemple ... there was an American leg-end!

Correction it was Matty Bates not Josh. Other riders in the meeting included Austin Novtatil, Tuff McBride and Liam Rumsey

The meeting on 16 Oct was the 'Transatlantic Challenge'. (originally planned for Buxton I seem to recall) featuring the American Dream team and local riders Scratch Main: Michael Raines (US), Josh Bates, Rocco Scopellite (US), Richard Andrews Handicap Main: Raines (30m), Chris Widman (20m), Eddie Castro (US) (30m), Mikey Buman (US) (30m) Other participants included: Dean Felton, Lee Geary

Now we have the full team it is clear Lawson, King ( and presumably Harris) get the reduction. Heeps - we still don't know! Unless of course their team is subsequently declared over the limit!!

As there is no clarity over what the rule is, it is hard to tell what it is for.

The difference between Schlein and Nicholls is that Rory rode in the NL(when it was the CL), but Scott didn't so that doesn't explain it.

But he is a British national with a British passport riding on an ACU licence, so why not?
