Cardiff 2021 hotel cancelled

Indeed, it is the flipside of £10 flights, which are another feature of dynamic pricing. -
Championship Pairs
arnieg replied to eric i's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Why settle for the Pairs? Let's have the GP there! -
No it isn't. It is basic economics. If the cost of riding goes up (be it flights, tuning, adverse exchange rate movements) the rider will seek to cover the extra costs by seeking more money from his club.
-
But the points money Redcar pay Anderson would have to reflect that, so they would still be paying for them indirectly .
-
Some (Toft?) will have settled status, but others may not be able to get visas. It may be difficult to get new young Danes until they've proved themselves domestically, by which time they may already be committed to Polish clubs.
-
But that wouldn't have been an issue if Eastbourne had cooperated in getting on with the meeting. You come across like a whiny child who has been caught cheating complaining that "it's not fair"
-
So your complaint is what? That the council didn't close down the speedway? Is that what you want?
-
Of course there is a curfew at Kent . It is clearly laid out in the planning conditions.
-
They were trying to prevent the match getting to heat 10 as they were loosing and didn't want the match result to stand.

I thought I would clear this up by reading the 1982 Rulebook - how foolish was I think that would resolve the matter!!! On reading the 1982 rulebook D1.3(a) makes it clear each team must declare a named seven, elsewhere (for example C4) there are rules restricting the use of loanees. As always the rulebook is less than 100% clear (I can't find a clear statement on what replacements are allowed when a reserve should voluntarily absent themselves, B7 is probably the relevant sub-section) so it feels like Pete Adams was operating at the fringes of what was legal.
-
I don't see how. He has not been absent for three years and not been absent due to injury. Compton on the other hand would be eligible for reassessment, having not ridden since 2017.
-
Is it the Polish Ocado guy who comes round with my home shopping?
-
He took it off Richard May in 1971 on 15 July
-
Presumably his average is assessed under 10.2.3 (a) [which does specify British speedway] However I am less than convinced the assessment for 2020 should be different to that arrived at for 2019 (which appeared to be a discount of a 10 year old average).
-
Yes it is, as you are seeking to rely on reduction to his average under: 10.2.3 b) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to injury As a matter of fact he has ridden in New Zealand in the last 12 months and therefore has not been absent for a full 12 months. As 10.2.3 a) includes the phrase 'British speedway' while b) does not, it clearly demonstrates that this is relevant (not to mention a decade or so of precedent)
-
He's ridden more than Craig Cook in the last 17 months, so perhaps Cook should get the reduction instead!!

Birmingham Brummies 2020
arnieg replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think they got lucky. Due to the rocketing covid rates in Germany, vaccine hesitancy in Poland, the EU's multiple cock ups and the NHS success in running the UK vaccination programme being based in the UK suddenly looks more attractive. -
I would suggest that in this case 'force majure' would apply to defeat any claim for breach of contract. https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/3-107-5776?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true
-
Can you elaborate, I don't understand the point you are trying to make. If the rider rides in England and (say) Sweden it is the rider who is breaking his contract with the Polish club If the rider choses to ride in Poland, but not England, then it is once again the rider who is in breach of contract - this time his UK contract. It would be a bit like Astra Zeneca signing two contracts, one with the EU and one with the UK govt. guaranteeing both first dibs on the vaccine they produce!
-
No - there is no contract between the the English and Polish clubs. The English club would have to sue the rider.

Rider who holds the most track records in the u.k?
arnieg replied to rearingtogo's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
58.4 vs 58.1 in May of the same year. -
Rider who holds the most track records in the u.k?
arnieg replied to rearingtogo's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yes. But it was a) before, and b) slower - than Per's record. -
Rider who holds the most track records in the u.k?
arnieg replied to rearingtogo's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Not as long as Per Jonsson at Reading. He broke it on 12 October 1987 and it still stood at the end of 2008. -
Don't think the WRU would be minded to cancel Autumn rugby schedule for the convenience of BSI.
-
Because Klindt has a Polish team place, and the worsening covid situation there has raised the possibility (note it is only a possibility) that riders might have to be based in Poland with further travel restrictions making riding in the UK and Poland impossible.
