Google ai says no. Only riders returning from injury after cut off can come into the team 🤷‍♀️

But link they use is from 2024, so unless it has changed since then 👀

Ah yes but is Google ai based on the bspl best interest of speedway ?

What’s the rule on signings after 75% of fixtures are completed?

Depends who's asking I expect.

If that’s the case, we have until this Friday or 12th to find a new rider.

Looks like we are stumped

Didn't scunthorpe sign Jacob hook after they had completed more than 75% of their fixtures to replace an injured rider?

[Paul Johnson]

Are Scunny expected to run with 6 men?  i can understand if it was a transfer but surely you are allowed to replace an injured rider?

75 0/0 of fixtures meaning what exactly? League, BSN, KO and everything?

16 League 4 BSN group fixtures and 2 cup matches should give 22 meetings  then 75% of this is the cut off for team changes, unless the  " in the best interests of the sport" rules applies to scunny and the pilots 😜

Probably under the best interests of the sport rules 😜

from what ive been told glasgow were stopped of signing a rider to cover howarth because the paperwork took a day longer to process over the deadline

might be just normal speedway rumours or might be true but glasgow now have only 6 riders so why are scunny any different

Personalised the regs

fixtures in the following competitions, not including semi-finals and finals: -

Except riders returning to the team after injury who can only replace their 

original replacement.

Scunny have done 11 champ and 4 bsn so 15 out of 20,,75%

Glasgow have done 10 champ and 4 bsn so 14 out of 20..70% so i cant see why they would be blocked

Gilkes is injured, Howarth isn't.

I agree with the logic that a transfer should be allowed, but if the clubs don't plan for these situations & have to use guests till the end of the season, it's their fault!

Glasgow need a signing more than Scunthorpe did. Scunny could have used guests or r/r all season, but Glasgow only get a 28 day facility.

Means there could be a situation where a rider leaves a club, but they can't sign a replacement & the facility runs out before the Important matches at the end of the season 🤔

Scunthorpe wouldn’t have been able to run R/R because Gilkes was dropping to reserve this month. I think it’s perfectly reasonable that you are allowed to replace an injured rider and thought it has always been the rule.

Me too,,i can see the reasoning behind the deadline,it was to stop the Robert Lambert situation of signing someone in time for the playoffs,but thats dropping a rider not replacing an injured one. And how was Scunny supposed to plan on the possibility Gilkes gets injured a week ago?
