It has been confirmed today that when a rider is not a asset of the EL or PL club he rides for , the league of his parent club will get priority in fixture clashes.
Lol have no sympathy for Ward and his air fare.
Maybe he should think about the fans who paid money to travel and watch him in that GP just to be let down.
Brought it on himself and if other riders are to be believed, this isn't the first time he has done it just first time caught.
Hopefully a ban will make him think about what he's doing.
That would be good then as only 2 clashes (at present without rain offs)
One of them however is when Pedersen & Hans both meant to ride in EL so one of them has to ride in Denmark as the only 2 A grade riders in the team.
Nobody seems too sure, even promoters. Some say PL like it always has been but some say it could be the league the rider was a asset of which would be EL.
With Birmingham no longer in the EL though, I would imagine Ipswich will get priority.
Very interesting how everybody has such different views this year. Proves not a lot between some teams. Think fixture clashes could also play a big part this year.
Its difficult to make a proper prediction at present as Poole, Wolves and Leicester still have a couple of riders to sign and Kings Lynn are a reserve short but at present my prediction would be
1. Poole
2. Swindon
3. king's Lynn
4. Belle Vue
5. Coventry
6. Leicester
7. Wolverhampton
8. Lakeside
Signed for them a while back. Rides with Kildemand. http://www.fjelsted-speedway.dk/index.php/en/
Clashes include one of their meetings with Coventry and also a meeting against Poole.
Just wondered what the rule was as not Danish or English but signed for Denmark first.
Looking at the Danish fixtures, when there are clashes between Adrian's EL and Danish fixtures, where would he be required to ride or would it be his choice?
What happens when Hans is missing due to a Danish fixture? Is it still a NL guest or has something more sensible been sorted?
Looking at Danish fixtures, riders missing during our meetings would be:
29.4 - Kings Lynn (A) Bjerre Missing
17.6 - Poole (A) Hans missing
19.6 - Leicester (H) Hans & Pedersen missing
19.8 - Kings Lynn (A) NKI missing
Will be interested to find out as some of the recent/upcoming GB riders are riding for Coventry/Leicester on the 15th: Harris, King, Bridger, Garrity, Sarjeant, Robson, Auty, Lambert
