tigerowl Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Nick Morris is a good rider but I'd rather have someone who just rides for Sheffield. I'm sick of all this doubling up nonsense with Jason Doyle being number one at Leicester AND Somerset and Craig Cook captain of Edinburgh AND Belle Vue (I think). It's just stupid and needs putting a stop to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 there is not enough riders to go around both el and pl . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 The problem is that their is not enough riders to go around. The other concern is that EL second strings and reserves don't get enough meetings in just the EL to survive, the top boys ride abroad so it isn't as much as a problem to them. This is a pathetic post; the promoters vote in the MC and the MC apply the rules that the promoters vote for. Rossiter should have kept his mouth shut and dealt with this in private; he didn't; his problem. Yeah right. For an Elephant you certainly have selective memory.

graz gp Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 So we should change our race night for 1 rider. I don't think so get real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephantman Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah right. For an Elephant you certainly have selective memory. Yeah absolutely right; the trouble is that some posters (perhaps you) prefer top listen to unsubstantiated gossip rather than deal with facts. The facts are that the promoters elect the MC of the BSPA; presumably because they believe they are the best fit for the job; therefore if you don't like the way the MC is run speak to your clubs promoter and see what he's got to say for himself! It's a strange thing called democracy; people all round the world are fighting wars for it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a good circle of friends within the sport and most of what I hear certainly isn't unsubstantiated gossip, pretty sure you haven't got a scooby do bearing in mind the degree in absolute bollox you continue to spout.

Travertine Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Is it not the case that Poles can ride in the PL as long as they ride on a UK licence? This is for the eminently sensible reason that in the past too many of them have missed meetings when ordered (or choosing to go) back home. I'm all in favour of UK speedway doing what is in its own best interests and paying as little attention as it can get away with to EU law. That statement is correct - The Poles will not licence any of their own nationals to ride in the Premier League, meaning they won't get any representative call-up at any level. Any young Pole can still ride PL on a UK licence, if he's happy to go down this route. This is nothing to do with EU legislation, and happens widely across sport, even in this country - Toby Flood has chosen to pursue his Rugby Union career in France, and as a consequence, will no longer get selected for England.

Popular Post Hoggy Posted January 9, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Your forgetting the BSPA protocol rules Rule 1. The BSPA MC are always right. Rule 2. If the BSPA MC are wrong rule 1 applies. Rule 3. In the event of both above rules being wrong the BSPA MC reserve the right to make it up as they think fit. Clue - Hoggarts on the MC Thanks you for your kind comments Dick, let's be honest I don't know you and you clearly don't know me. What I do know is that your opinion of me is somewhat confused with your opinion of others, instead of undermining my credibility why don't you endeavour to do something about yours? I'm not perfect by any means nor am I bitter and twisted about anything that hasn't worked out for me. Life is just too, too short. Enjoy your evening and by all means give me a bell if yiu want to talk about it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sheffield Speedway should look after there own business and not worry about other people. All the clubs have there own agendas. Sheffield should get on and sign some rider's. I think I am correct but have the tigers actually said they are signing Nick Morris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdsalBoy Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 This is getting blown all out of proportion, if nick signs he signs if he doesn't then there's still a good few riders available ! I'd love to see nick in the team but if not then it's not the end of the world ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your evening and by all means give me a bell if yiu want to talk about it. I am not confused at all but yes your probably right that I don't know you that well, What I do know well is how your organisation works having had years of personal experience. So impress me, make me change my mind, let's see the BSPA operate in an open, honest and up front way and let's have a rule book that's clear and cannot be interpreted to suit any particular person or club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcb7 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Like Lanham and his professionalism, would be a great No 4..........Not 100% sure he would be an out and out heat leader for us, but I do stand to be corrected on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
