2019 Regulations 16.2.1.2 At the end of each Season the BSPA will produce a Listing of all riders who have competed in British Speedway during that season and following approval and/or amendment at the BSPA AGM’s these MA’s (i.e. excluding Bonus Points but including other allowances) will be the Riders MA for used at the start of the following Season. 16.2.1.3 These MA’s will remain effective for Team Building, Team Positioning, Facilities, rider eligibility for Heat 15 etc. until new MA’s become effective. 16.2.1.4 Updated MA’s will be calculated monthly on a rolling basis on all eligible meetings, up to and including 23rd of the month to become effective from the 1st of the following month.

Strange how after years of doing a good job at Belle Vue this year he was left out. It takes both parties to talk and agree a compromise, it appears Cook wasn’t willing to talk.

It’s a Monday so Championship cannot race that day so double uppers doesn’t come into it, I don’t know the story behind the start time only what was said.

No someone asked what time it starts and Carl answered him. No doubt it will get raised at P&P tomorrow.

Carl confirmed at the forum that the match on the 22nd April v Kings Lynn was a 2pm start

Which bookies ?

Makes a lot more sense than to run it the day after the fours

I disagree, should be the same for all three

Anyone with half a brain knows Ford is behind the Poole success, who do you think was texting Middlo during the matches.

That’s sounds like a suggestion from Jim Lawrence, the new SCB Chairman Nice to see some common sense being applied.

I think it’s the way the BSPA read it that’s the defining factor

Just come along to the fans forum next week Rodders with a list of questions

2019 Regulations are now on the SCB website

Makes a good argument

I have also been watching the sport for 50 years and I think Woffinden is the best, as others have said it would be interesting to know who you think is better?

Correct

I don’t dislike or loathe him and clearly years ago he knew what he was doing but his comments was in recent years suggest he is part of the problem rather than the answer. i would add that I think a few others of the BSPA are in that category as well

Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, this is a bloke who thinks their nothing wrong with the speedway in the U.K.

And whenever have the BSPA ever done that

Being honest I have seen some good racing at the venue a number of times but i wouldn’t say it’s always brilliant.

It’s interesting that we get continued comments that the racing at Scunthorpe is brilliant, yet every time I have been their is only a couple of hundred watching, and that includes a healthy few from my club. Over the last few years I must have been a dozen times or more but the crowd is always the same, clearly not everyone feels the same otherwise the place would be rammed most weeks.

Probably because Keith Chapman didn’t put the team together, Ged Rathbone did.

If MPT is in the side it’s looking like he will partner Andersen as Kerrs last GSA was 5.50 whilst MPT is 5.36

Not very many I am informed, Peterborough however have in recent years had quite a lot. I think it’s a balance but most teams are known by the beginning of the year when ST are advertised.

Drip feeding riders is all about media, it’s about getting as much publicity as you can manage and drip feeding news and riders gets you a lot more coverage than releasing a team in one go.
