Surely there's a chance that some of those may be offered a full team place??!!

How dare you?! Poole wouldn't do that to give Lakeside any advantage - Jon Cook's not on the MC anymore!!!!

Bech's meeting in Swindon over the weekend may give a clue!! Re the fast track revisions, some people seem to be missing the point that Neil Vatcher will be INVITING riders to be reserves and then dividing them into a Grade A and Grade B lists. If some riders have already ridden in the 1-5 or been 'offered' a full team place, I assume they wouldn't be considered as a reserve. so to start naming names at this stage is far too premature imo. Finally, has anyone official actually confirmed or denied the 'only 2 riders over 7 points ' in the EL, other than the unofficial 'I used to be a serious journalist' SwindonLinkSport website?? 'Cos I've not seen mention of it anywhere else!!

Why would the BSPA statement seem to be trying to encourage more GP riders to return to the EL - and then introduce a 2 x 7+ pointers maximum per team?? It just can't be true, can it??!

Some of them may not accept Neil Vatcher's invitation??!!

But is it accurate - as it has some different detail in it than the BSPA statement?! (NB> Not that BSPA statements have a good record of being accurate and complete!!)

Looks like he'll have to make do with '1st reserve' for the MC!!

What has 'NL' got to do with anything? The fast track draft system was not limited to only NL riders, it included PL (and some EL) Brits from the start!

This link gives some different detail than that in the official BSPA statement, so either the author is making some unfounded assumptions or he's had some 'inside' info from the likes of Rosco I presume?! Why would the BSPA statement say that they are hoping to make it as easy as possible for as many GP riders to consider the EL - only to then introduce a 'maximum of 2 x 7+ pointers' per team??? It just doesn't make sense!!

A 2-point increase and stronger reserves - wait for the price increases!!!!!!! Actually the 2 point team building limit would allow all but one team to retain their 2014 1-5 - assuming all riders were wanting/able to return?!

Its not as if he's served all his time!!! He's only out 'on licence'!!! There are other 'professions' that would not allow a convicted rapist to return to their former employment - but it doesn't stop him/them from seeking employment elsewhere.

Just like the Fast Track Draft then?!

Crikey - are prices staying the same then?? That's a result!!

Congrats Josh G - Winner of the Queensland Championship!!

Maybe he's looking to buy a caravan from Pete Toogood??

Maybe he's in line for Vice Chair???

The Vice Chair DOES have a bit more influence as he is voted on to the Management Committee (BSPA MC) - which can make/overrule decisions during the season..

Is there another EL promoter 'not a million miles away'??

From a mischievous point of view, I would love it if Matt Ford were to be voted in as Vice Chair again - if only to watch this forum go into meltdown !!!

If the local Echo has it right today - it looks like Friday 24th April is the target date?! (Not sure why a Friday but that's what it says!)

I wonder who will step into Jon Cook's BSPA shoes?? Will they go for someone with a bit of experience, someone who has served before or someone newish??

Thanks. Seems as though they are looking at Hancock or Kildemand as potential replacements for Holder who has not yet agreed any deal!!

...and it seems as though it has!!!

Well at least there'll be plenty of Kings Lynn views!!

Where has the Laguta signing been announced/confirmed?
