Mr Iversen competed for the Esbjerg club in the Danish League on Wednesday 29th April, therefore Northampton have been denied a Full Facility for the fixture on the 30th April, and have been informed that only the Reduced Facility as per SCB Regulation 011.4 would be permitted. Mr Iversen is expected to make his Northampton debut on Monday 4th May when they compete in two away fixtures at Belle Vue and Leicester. Should have given him a "Special Burger".... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Reg 010.2.3 says: "d) any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL and NDT, holds a British passport and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU will receive 2.5% reduction on their Premiership/Championship MA for Team Building" So ... if Howarth's 5.00 is only for team building ... his actual Green Sheet of 5.13 would be too high, because the 25% reduction of Iversen's average gives 5.03 ... FFS!!!! It's their FIRST meeting!!!.... With (hopefully), lots of people there who have either some vague idea of what Speedway is, or havent a clue at all what it is all about... What a load of bollox involved when all that needs to be done is a close meeting, with Northampton winning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all explained in an excellent article in todays Speedway Star magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as they can "bob over" now and again, as and when they can, and honour us with their presence, we will welcome them back with open arms, and it all will be OK.... Have the Northampton Promoters done a "Welcome to UK Speedway" pack for the first time visitors?.. It says in the Star the NKI has a doctors appointment today in Denmark.

ouch Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 You’d like to think with this one being a dead rubber that if it was shaping up to be a Foxes loss, it could then be fixed for a win in a last heat decider. The witches are through to the cup anyway and a close victory could help future attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of bollox involved when all that needs to be done is a close meeting, with Northampton winning... That's the whole point though, it is a load of bollox ... they never think through the wording and potential impacts on other regulations. The only good thing about tonight and the gloriously ambiguous regulations is that there's nothing riding (sic) on the result, because the mini-league is already decided. A win for Northampton would be good to get them orf to an extra-positive start, but the Witches riders are there to earn their crust ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
