Group matches do.

The latest Rye House PR is warning of possible use of R/R for Garrity on Saturday.

Too busy with 'don't criticise riders if you can't ride a speedway bike' comments on other threads.

16.4.3 Further necessary changes must be notified, with reasons given, to the nominated SCB Website, Opponents, BSPA Office & Referee as soon as they are known.

... other than the fact that the top 5 are about 10 points over the PL 7 man team limit...

Why would we? We said from the start he should be on a 7,we'll be saying in October he should've been on a 7. Anyway, he should be on a 7. That's 7, not 5, 7.

5-12 in the NL & PL, 5-8, 10 & 11 in the EL

I thought it was sheep in New Zealand...

He is in the current team declaration. http://www.speedwaygb.co/14issues/el_issue2.pdf

On the basis that the resultant prison sentence will give him time to mature?

What, exactly, is your point? As you say, Jason is a Rye House asset and will therefore ride for Rye House in all official fixtures. Irrespective of that, there's no way that last night's knockabout should have taken precedence over a league match.

As if they didn't have enough problems, Coventry.

In terms of putting a spanner into the speedway works, the PL is rapidly becoming the new EL. They are continuing with an over-complicated play off system that teams struggle to shoehorn into the end of the season. They've now added extra "conference" matches that add to inequalities in league performance between teams. They failed to buy into the "young" rider programme, whatever the reason for its introduction, and, despite always having had the better of the doubling up system, we now have the ridiculous situation of PL teams insisting on riders appearing in a meaningless challenge when they should be riding for their other team in a league match.

Aren't the dogs back with a different promoter?

Irrespective of that, a league match should take priority over a challenge but in this enlightened age it seems that PL teams are having to give "special permission" for "their" d/u riders to appear in EL matches. Just another blow to the claims by some that the PL is the better league.

It's outrageous because they've never had to do anything like that before...

For those that don't like the standard programme layout, there are printable blank alternatives for the 2 league formats here; PL - https://db.tt/VspwPlys EL - https://db.tt/a86hHiwx

Indeed. Will be supplementing my digital copy with the printed version. Three thumbs up.

The original date for the LC match clashed with the U21 final on April 15th.

Doesn't look like updates are covering this so I'll be tweeting results @aej50

Believe it. The Regulations State that the Ref "exercises supreme control of a Meeting" from the time they enter the stadium until declaring the meeting closed. They are free to consult the CoC, TMs and Captains but the final decision is theirs.

Wouldn't be OK for anyone, anywhere at any time.

Give Brady Kurtz the correct average, maybe?

No discount for seats, only standing.
