Following on from the Plymouth team on Saturday having 4 guests and r/r to join there two available riders the Speedway Control Board has seen a way forward and are considering the following ........

1) All riders will be under contract to the SCB

2) All riders will be graded according to there riding average

3) For every match 14 riders will be allotted to the track with 2x number ones, 2 x number twos etc

4) Prior to the start of the match  each pair of riders will be drawn out of a hat until both teams have a 1-7 (like heat 15 at present the supporters will have to fill out the riders in the programme)

5) Each team will then pull on the relevant race jacket and the match can commence 

6) At the end of the match the riders hand back the race jackets, head home and await the instructions of their next match  

 

Further to this idea there is a consideration of adding defunct teams to bolster the league and will not have a home track but run as nomad teams on other available tracks.

 

This is all tongue in cheek as I'm only joking ( I think) 🤣🤣🤣

For point 4) riders should be picked in turn by the team manager... leaving the fat lad until last. 

Sorry Ben Barker 😂

If there is four fixtures in one night that will require 56 physically fit riders to be allocated - nah no chance.
