Mr Blobby

Yet the UKVI said he was eligible! Or are you ignoring that fact?

Standard statement from the BSPA. The BSPA are entirely to blame. We as the rules state were entitled to an appeal. The club had assurance from the UKVI that he would get a visa if the BSPA committee said yes, yet they denied the appeal and are yet to still give the club an actual reason behind their decision.

The UKVI said they would give Luke a visa on the blessing of BSPA, the committee refused to give permission and have still yet to give the club an actual reason for doing so.

The BSPA statement is laughable, rejected it on the criteria set by the UKVI yet we had the backing of the UKVI for Luke to get a visa.

BSPA rules were followed on this one as Luke fitted the criteria for an appeal. On the basis of his injury and that he would enhance British speedway. Shame that the committee who never gave a reason For rejecting did so.

Even with the backing of the UK visa and immigration that he has a case to be eligible to ride due to missing a round through injury that basically stopped him automatically getting his visa the BSPA committee still rejected it. Doesn’t come as a surprise with who’s on the committee, Godfrey the worst of the lot. This is where an independent panel is needed so there is no self interest.

An American and a protest by certain clubs was the rumour.

From what I’ve heard, you’re not far off the mark.

2nd in the A final cracking stuff. Trump card starting at reserve this season.

He’s riding at pinjar Park on Saturday in the rob Woffinden classic.

Explanation into Joel average. http://edinburghmonarchs.co/news-centre/article/2018-01-03/joel-explained

I don’t think Joel average is the reason the final rider hasn’t been announced.

Just a guess

Think the final rider will be an American.

It’s a very young side with Ricky being the eldest at a grand age of 26. Its a side built with improvement in it fully expect the Riss brothers and Josh to kick on again this year and put points on their averages. Matt as well to keep improving. Not sure what we will get from Joel yet, but from videos and scores I’ve seen from Sweden he should be able to hold his starting average. Personally feel like the final rider will determine if this side will be play off contenders or not. Whoever it may be needs to either increase or hold there starting average IMO if we want to be up there once again.

He was supposed to at one point I’m led to believe but for one reason or another it never happened.

Is he? Based on what exactly?

Matt Williamson to Edinburgh. 4.85

Think MANSE needs to go have a Word with who was giving him his information.

Self interest lol

Don’t do wagers, but there’s far better sides out there than this one.

Bottom half of the table side IMO

Correct

Yes but clegg and davey averages are incorrect.

He started the season on a 3.00 average actually.
