Look at the amount of complaints that were made when Belle Vue signed Robert Lambert after the cut-off date, due to Max Fricke's injury.

Maybe a 7 day grace period could be allowed for injuries / retirements after 75% of fixtures are completed, in this case Glasgow would get an extra few days to replace Hausl, but have had long enough to replace Howarth.

Were the complaints not mostly because Robert didn't do the league matches (only the play offs).

Also didn't help that Kings Lynn also kept quiet about Robert not racing.

The 75% fixtures completed rule needs to be either scrapped or amended that changes can be made if

A) Rider quits (like Howarth)

or 

B) Injured riders (Like Hausl) as long as a Doctors/Hospital note can be provided that a rider is injured.

did Scunny replace the injured Dan Gilkes with Jacob Hook after the 75% point ?

Who really cares the Sport is a shambles. Just look at the line up at Berwick last Sat. Just enjoy the racing while you have still got it.

was this not meant to be the make or break season with all the fiasco that went on during the close season ?

It seems it’s break.

If next season is the exact same as this season I’m not sure if I can be bothered.

Its a shame as some teams are being held back by others who would rather slowly kill everything than let teams who want to make something of the sport just get on with it.

And all was being sorted early during this season too...

Man Citeh's verdict will be announced sooner...:D

According to the Glasgow website, appears we've not been able to replace Kyle so it'll be guests for Kyle and Mario from now on as we're over 75% of the season's fixtures 

Hopefully we get lucky with guests, as we did on Friday. Shame for Mario as he could have done well with a spell at reserve.

Somewhat confusing, if Scunny can bring in Hook, and Poole are today (reportedly) signing up Slater Lightcap -- both signings after these clubs completed 11 Championship matches......

Why can't the Tigers make a couple of signings before their 12th match?

Or can they?

Difference between when a club declares a change and when they ride, what’s to say Jacob wasn’t going in at Scunny anyway and then Dan was unfortunately injured Scunny then using these injuries rather than performance as the reason for the change in their press release.

Same with Poole their new lineup with Lightcap could have been presented to the BSPL on Friday or Saturday prior to the Berwick match, from memory a change has to be decanted three days prior to the rider making their debut although I’d need to double check on that one 

So in essence if Glasgow had/have redecorated their side prior to Friday then it would be ok, albeit giving the quotes from Cami it would appear that isn’t the case
