Rumour going around we’ve (The 2023 Championship champions and owners of the greatest track in world speedway) approached Cairns and Rushen for 2027.

Make of that what you will.

As Poole haven’t completed their season yet would this not be a breach of rules?

While I like the idea of clubs having to have an U21 Brit & an U24 Brit (don't think they should have to be at reserve) if a club was clever & signed the best 4 U21s (Rushen, Cairns, Harrison, Scott) then instead of another club having to use the 9th best U21, it'd be the 12th best.

Maybe they might do it like the rising Star in the top league, where the available riders are listed, and clubs get a reverse finish pick, bottom of league 1st 🤔 so worky finished 2nd bottom, can I choose who's left from cairns or Rushen for the Comets 🤣

Nope. See for yourself:

Rule 14.7 (b) - Club Superiority Exemption

A club may approach any rider contracted to another club where it can demonstrate that it has:

A. a superior racing track; and

B. more handsome supporters

In such circumstances, normal restrictions on rider approaches shall not  apply.

Fair enough can’t argue with that 😂

As riders are no longer assets of a club, which rules are they breaking?

Unless the rule is "you can't approach a rider until after the season has finished".

So, what are the rules ?

I'm sure every club approaches them two tbh. But interesting Glasgow's answer to their bad team building is to take Poole riders lol. Smart.

With both of their overseas commitments next year, I can't see either going to a Friday track! (Unless of course Glasgow are going Prem?)

While there are no assets, riders and clubs still have a contract with each other.   This is usually for one season, but could in fact be more.

Although we all know it happens, a club should not approach a rider (nor a rider approach a club) until the active contract expires.
