I don't know what average Kim Nilsson would be assessed, However, the rule book does say this:- 010.2.2 Assessed MA’s Riders who are new to British Speedway and are not eligible to participate in the British Development League are calculated as follows

In addition to Grudziadz Beau Bailey has already signed in Sweden (Dackarna) and Denmark (Region Varde)

Ostrow in the second tier.

Because of this:- https://fimspeedway.com/news/polands-ekstraliga-announces-swedish-british-and-danish-deal

Becker is already signed in Denmark and Sweden.

It is more likely that he would apply for Polish citizenship. His wife is Polish and they reside there.

Yes, and age wasn't the issue it was average. At that time the rules stated that any rider with a premiership/elite average of 6 or more (I think that was the figure) was ineligible to ride in the second tier.

I wonder if this will now be shown by BSN. They were due to broadcast Sheffield v Northampton yesterday but this has been re-staged for next Wednesday, the same day as they are due at Poole for the first leg of the semi- final against Edinburgh.

That will be put back a week at least now that today's meetings at Belle Vue and Leicester have been postponed.

As we know this fixture has been re-arranged for Monday 7th September then at home to Belle Vue on Thursday 10th. Is there still a restriction on the number of motor sport events that can be held ( maximum of two during and eight day period)? I mention this as Spedeworth have a stock car meeting on Saturday 12th.

Isn't Kerr ineligible under the '8 day ' rule? a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team

Leon Flint, Kye Thomson, and Danny King inherit the number one race jacket for their clubs. In the meantime Vinnie Foord and Connor Mountain drop to reserve

On top of that, Redcar ride at home against Glasgow on Friday then away to Workington on Saturday meaning guests/RR for Charles Wright and Leon Flint.

Certainly not prepared enough. Four out of our five riders turned out for their Championship sides on Friday evening.

Rather strange this. Tom wasn't in Holsted's squad at the start of this season and isn't now. As far as I can see he rode once for them on 29th July

...and a facility for Cook who will be riding in Poland.

Mention on the live stream regarding a dispute but I don't know if this means Lawson is withholding his services or he has been suspended.

These events were almost a fortnight apart. He pulled out of his Danish fixture on 24th June due to injury (although I don't know when this occurred). The meeting he missed for Ipswich wasn't until 6th July when he became unwell on his way to Leicester.

Do you mean this Saturday, the 8th, when Lodz are riding, or both? He will certainly miss the second date for the return to Berwick. On the subject of missing riders, will Lawson be absent for any more as Poole and Brovst are both in action for all remaining Wednesdays in August?

Riding away from home gives him longer intervals between his 2nd, 3rd and 4th outings.

Jason wasn't struggling last night at Oxford. Top scored as a guest for Plymouth, 14 from 5 beating Masters twice.

Lawson is riding in Denmark this evening. Scored 4 from four outings so probably won't be asking him back.

Who would you have booked. There aren't many options.

I wonder if they asked Lewis Kerr first.

Danny won't be back as his 7 day suspension remains current until the weekend.. This is a real problem for the return match against Leicester on Thursday as all six premiership clubs are in action. Also, if Lawson fails to produce a medical certificate he could be facing a 28 day suspension for withholding his services.
