The sport is an absolute joke how it’s run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 5 minutes ago, Normski said: All Workington riders have been banned from guesting while the clubs suspension is taking place. So Voulas and Foord both supposed to be riding tonight have been banned and will not be riding for Birmingham and Ipswich. Thus could be the case although it would be somewhat harsh to suspend riders just because the club they currently ride for has been suspended as that is out of their control. There is, however, another issue. If Ipswich replace Jenkins, would he then be removed from the Rising Star list as he has a CMA in excess of 4 so is no longer eligible and therefore cannot be re-introduced at a later date.

Gavan Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 This isn’t hard to understand and can’t see why forum members over react Firstly Jason Edwards does not have a club he isn’t part of Birmingham he was released for Sam Hagon The fact Birmingham are riding tonight is has as much relevance as Belle Vue riding tonight … Edwards does not have a club Put it this way if Ipswich redeclare without Jenkins then if he comes back he can guest for any other club as he won’t be a Witch… come on speedway fans this isn’t that technical Foord was originally asked to guest It now appears all Workington riders are banned from guesting …. Foord now can’t ride tonight Speedway has lots of things that make the sport lack credibility… but tonight definitely isn’t one of them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 Can’t understand the Workington lads being blocked from guesting, not their fault their champ club is having difficulties is it, the two young lads riding elsewhere in another league tonight would make zero difference to that situation, how’s it different to ziscke riding for belle vue? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn are a perfect example. Declaring and re-declaring their side containing different RS’s whenever it suits. Ipswich are without their current rising Star, so they can choose another rising Star that isn’t currently declared in another teams 1-7. Where’s the confusion? For what it’s worth I’ve NEVER liked the crock of sh!te that is the rising Star scheme. You have the NDL and Championship to develop riders. When they’re good enough, they’ll naturally get their chance in the top flight (whilst it’s there). As for preferential picks in order of which position teams finished in a totally different season, don’t get me started on that farce! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they then realised if they reverted back to Jenkins they could have Edwards guesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 (edited) Can't they just bring in Edwards as a 28 day injury replacement and then see what happens after that with Jenkins Edited July 7, 2025 by Bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer1969 Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 Don't think Ipswich management are too happy with all this, the raceday preview on their website dated 4th July keeps very slightly changing, first it said Vinnie Foord would be guesting then was amended to Jason Edwards would be guesting now it says "Vinnie Foord had been due to guest but the club were forced into a late change and it is Jason Edwards who now rides at number seven". If Workington riders have been banned from guesting it's a diabolical situation I don't like to see any club go under but Workington had 7 days to sort the problem but couldn't so they were given another 7 days to sort it and in the meantime riders are being deprived of being able to work through no fault of their own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham did Vuolas visa and as they sacked him it reverted to Workington and their riders cant ride due to these visa issues. Belle Vue did Zischke visa so hes allowed to ride.

Triple.H. Posted July 7, 2025 Report Share Posted July 7, 2025 If Workington riders aren't allowed to ride as a guest for any other team it shouldve been made clear on 27th June when the Workington situation came to light. Tate Zischke can ride for Belle Vue as he is contracted to ride for them and they sorted his visa out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is/was out injured otherwise he would have a club, if he knew he was going for a practice last night then he should of told Bham that if all went well he would be back, if he did and Bham didn’t want him then fine but did he tell them or did he just tell Ipswich ? If Birmingham redeclare him tomorrow or in next few days then it’s makes a complete mockery of the sport as a team sport, credibility is everything, speedway has non and fans and I use the word lightly who don’t see the issue are the sycophants that are enabling the end of the sport in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
