The number 1 rider from each team and additional riders will be determined
by MA from the green sheets. A total of 16 riders ensuring all teams are
represented. This will determine the line up for the Championship League Riders
It's crazy that British Speedway thinks it is more credible to use guest riders rather than a genuine replacement for a rider with a season ending injury.
Of course, the regulation was changed after Belle Vue did that ( when the regs allowed it - unintentionally or otherwise) to bring in Robert Lambert to replace the injured Max Fricke a few years ago.
It's been like that for ever. It's part of history
It's also an SCB trophy not a BSPL one. I'm no fan of BSPL but don't blame it for things not of its making.
If you are talking about the wrong spelling of Championship on the trophy ( last h and I transposed) then I believe you will find that is what is on the actual trophy rather than an AI error
I think there needs to be some clarity on whether Dan is intending to take part or not.
If he is then ticket sales might get a boost.
If he isn't, and people have bought tickets based on him being in the draw, then there might be some negative reaction.
