ouch Posted Tuesday at 11:40 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:40 AM It would be just our luck if the only one over 8 rule came in again. The first time it was implemented was at the end of the 2017 season and after decades we finally had two riders with 8 plus averages and sadly had to let Bjerre go. Many teams had two riders over 8 during those decades but would you believe it as soon as we do a rule comes in to break us up. Dammit. Apart from 2017, Dan & Brady are the only other two to achieve such a feet in all those decades. Fingers crossed a purely random rule doesn’t affect us again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter65 Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Ipswich wouldn’t mind now Emil has gone as Doyle is actually under 8 so they could sign another 8 plus rider and still keep Doyle and no doubt have the best spearhead in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter65 Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:06 PM Would affect Kurtz and Bewley , Fricke and Douglas and Holder and Woffinden………I could see Kurtz, Holder and Woffinden not actually riding in Britain if it came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted Tuesday at 05:22 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:22 PM 🤣🤣🤣 only just seen this thread. That would be typical BSPL thinking. It's been done before & doesn't help strengthen the league throughout. 9/10 times the strongest teams financially will still employ the strongest 7+, 6+, 5+ riders, and the cheapskate club will be swimming around picking up the has-beens & sink to the bottom. Doesn't matter what rules get implemented, the powerhouses always rise to the top eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
