Ah but you are forgetting - other teams have the same opportunities to sign these riders - blah, blah, blah Oh! And the classic line - we haven't broken any rules!

He will be as it's not in the plan to have the Draft B rider replaced with a rider of lower form - especially one that has been good enough to hold his own in the 1-5 for a lot of the year (ahead of the Draft A rider).

And then bring in ringers for the playoffs

It's quite ironic the number of times you call people stupid or dum dum so this is just for you: "Ignorance can be educated, crazy can be medicated but there is no cure for stupid". Anyway, back to speedway C'mon the Wolves!

Maybe down Dorset way but in the real world it's not!

It was 2 weeks (from the date of his injury to your last EL league match) - still think it's long term?

It's a miracle!

According to your website - it was 5 before the playoffs and I would say that isn't long term. What if Hans had been injured at the start of June - he would have missed 0 or 1 meetings in the same period - so number of meetings isn't a fair indication on its own. However, the rule is for injury replacement for the play-offs. There was 1 play-off meeting and then Hans rode so I am pretty sure that isn't long term either!

Just read the following on Twitter: Niels Kr. Iversen‏ @doniversen So the Extraliga want to limit riders to only 2 leagues next year if we wanna ride in Extraliga. I'm sure that will end up pretty bad.#zuzel Interesting - nice to see cooperation with other countries. I wonder which league suffer? Doyley is already signed up for 3 leagues so something will have to give if they implement this!

I have to say that I agree with you - that picture doesn't show much at all (except hairy legs)

Not if BV or Wolves win it !

Now that would be the ultimate p!sstake. Replacing someone who has been a reserve for the last month and unlikely to score (m)any points in the no 5 position with a track specialist. Meltdown is a word that springs to mind! Two other words would be CHEATING SCUMBAGS!

OK - so 4 months is a long term injury then! What about 1 month?

What position was he riding in the team? Was he a heat leader or reserve? On paper you have a better reserve pairing but it's a bit disrespectful to suggest that they will comfortably outscore their counterparts. Roll on Wednesday!

That'll get the fans flooding back

That is a shocking team - although looks better than this season's team (just joking)

Just ignore the trolls - they're trying to throw mud around in the hope that some sticks and takes attention away from the fact that Poole are CHEATING SCUMBAGS. They are really worried now and getting desperate in their accusations!

Well if the averages are right then it won't be possible to use King to cover for Fricke - looks like an honest mistake to me. However, if BV were to deliberately try and bend the rules like the cheating scumbags that are Poole then they would be equally as bad and undeserving. After all, the playoffs shouldn't be about who can bend and manipulate the rules the most and then come out with the party line - "we haven't broken any rules guv".

You are right - can't see how he can replace Fricke then

In the best interests of British Speedway Harris will be at Monmore instead

Ok - my bad! Thanks for also confirming that Poole don't follow the rules

Perhaps you should explain that to him rather than jump to his defence

Confirmed on Poole Twitter - Tungate for Pedersen tonight

Just gone too far!!

Yes he has!
