2ndbendbeerhut Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Now it seems there are different rules regarding doubling up/down between the EL and PL. In 2013 it was the PL had priority and everyone knew that, unless it was a rearranged fixture. However it now seems its the club that "owns" the rider which has priority. Eg Josh Grajzonek at Poole or Richie Worrall at Belle Vue. Thats fair but what if the rider is owned by one club and needed by another 2? Then what happens? eg: Richie Worrall - Belle Vue (EL) have priority over Ipswich (PL) Cameron Heeps - Ipswich (PL) would have priority over an EL club Josh Auty - assuming he signs for Birmingham again (EL) also signed for Scunthorpe (PL) But who takes priority as i believe "owned" by Coventry!? Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statman Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 My understanding is that the Elite League club only have priority if they actually own the rider in question. If a double-up rider is on loan to the Elite League club, as in your Josh Auty scenario above, then the PL club will have priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I believe if the rider is a Prem asset then the Prem take priority. If the rider is an Elite asset then they take priority. I don't think it matters who they are riding for it's the club that owns the registration that determines priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500cc Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Wow, if true this is going to cause chaos at EL reserve where I suspect (although I stand to be corrected) most of the eligible riders will be owned by PL clubs. And even if I'm wrong there, the fact that there is going to be a mixture of riders with EL priority across the 1-7 isn't great for the sport. If this is the rule, then the asset base of each club really needs to be put on public record. I know not everyone agrees, but I do feel strongly that where spectators invest in a sport, they should know whether or not a participant is eligible for a match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Can only see the situation we had last season getting worse with now the potential to have both reserves and maybe two out of the five main team riders being absent to ride for other clubs, record season for guests and rider replacement?

I'm hoping not - in the Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
