foreverblue Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 You would be mad not to have Niels back if he's available, had a fantastic season and was awesome for the pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Olly Allen has signed for Rye House and is looking for an EL D/UP role.... Maybe with Howe? That's an awesome pairing! What Howe & RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Any PL guest up to the missing riders average As i said thats crazy! Once again the BSPA have shot themselves in the foot. Teams that go for double-uppers could be seriously weakened if one (or more ) of those riders have PL commitments, so it discourages teams from doing it (Eastbourne already stated they wont), so how will that help developing riders get EL experience? Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I doubt neither Howe or Allen will want to settle for a 'pure' DU role - won't give them enough action as fixtures. Both would want a full 1-7 team place I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. It'll only help develping riders if EL promoters sign them (of course), obviously EL promoters want the chance to or they wouldn't have brought in the rule?? The EL promoters will go through their potential rider's fixtures and in the case of injury they have the chance of bringing in anyone else in the PL up to their average (of course).

Bagpuss Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 There must be a desire to use double uppers by EL clubs as they have voted to increase the number of spots per team from two to three. Personally I think it makes sense to just name one rider and use guests, it will eliminate the need for R/R covering for a double up spot and get rid of the chopping and changing of the understudy like we have seen in the last couple of years, not least by my team. It may also lead to more PL riders getting EL experience with an extra double up slot and guest bookings. One final point, Brum and Plymouth showed last year with Barker that with a bit of planning and co-operation fixtures can be arranged so that double up riders have very few clashes in the first place.

g13webb Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 As with other years at this time don't panic - has the Chapmans ever let us down ? I have no qualms as far as the Chapmans are concerned. It’s the state of the sport that really deflates my thoughts. It doesn’t seem important what riders are racing any more. The league, The BSPA, the whole thing, is a shambles. My enthusiasm has just about given out, to the point of, What’s the point??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
