Although all a bit pointlesa until we know FTD rider rules and average limits etc.

That's the thing. It's hard as we don't know who will still be on the draft (or though surely Rose should still be protected unless certain club with no assets in it then changes rule)

We don't know if it will still be 2 from FTD or as some are suggesting 1 FTD and 1 rider of any nationality not on there.

The way I understand it Kerr will have to ride in the top 5 of the team or not ride for Kings Lynn at all Rose I think can stay at 6/7 that's the way I think the F/T system works ?

But surely if they are only using 1 FTR and Kerr's average is lower than the remaining riders he will have to be at reserve.

Nobody knows how the FTR system works from this point on! Why on earth didn't they come up with a proper, three-year plan for it at the beginning?

Don't think they even plan from month to month.Think you are expecting a bit to much for them to come up with a 3 year plan :o

I think it will set up like the this

 

Iversen - likes to keep his clubs the same, lives fairly local

Schlein - club asset and club captain, also got his testimonial booked with us next year

Lambert - talented youngster, won't want anyone else to use him

Kerr - club asset, local lad who has done brilliantly for us

Rose - if the ftr system goes with one then I don't see us choosing anyone else, improved so much this year

 

Those above I believe will be in the team then I feel it will be a choice between

Bjerre, mads, nicholls, fricke or porsing

 

Depending on how they try and set the side and and dependant on limits and ftr

Pretty spot on there I reckon, but the other two may not come from that list....

Coming back from an injury as serious as the one Niels sustained could go one of 2 ways;

 

1 he could need as many meeting as possible to get back to fitness so would want to sign for Lynn OR

2 - he could want to ease himself back in and not want to over commit himself and so could skip riding in the UK in 2015, like blupanther says, to focus on a World Championship bid.

 

Selfishly, I hope Niels comes back for another season as he was this year, the best rider in the Elite League. He is a joy to watch and would be the first name in the line up if I was Buster. Pretty sure, that if he rides in the UK next season it will be for the Stars.

A lot will depend on how many Ex Panthers KL continue to get for free.

 

That comment has a nasty taste to it . We all know the asset system is dead in the water and does nothing but complicate the existence of the riders.

 

Appreciate some clubs have forked out big on certain riders, but there are many more who are assumed the property of just because they rode for them years back. Surely the BSPA should make a ruling on this so in the future both the Clubs, Supporter and Riders are free to ride for whoever. Obviously, any new ruling needs to be Date governed.

 

Comments like above does no good for the sport..........purely giving self gratification for the individual, who undoubtedly has got all his facts wrong.............

Other than to throw riders names around, there's not much point in putting together 1-7's for 2015 - so much depends on the FTD review AND whether or not the riders are going to have their averages scrapped in favour of a grading system which after the heat format changes this season, seems the only sensible solution to me.

With the recent problems at Birmingham, and now Eastbourne, how do we know there will even be an Elite League next year? Its been a watered down league for many seasons now, and with many GP riders choosing not to ride in the UK, I can only see it getting worse. I'm sure we can all remember the days when teams consisted of some of the worlds best, but no longer I'm afraid. I do fear for the future of our sport, unless we can market it much better than we do now.

 

However, assuming Lynn run in the Elite League, I'd like to bet Buster and Rob already have names pencilled in for 2015, so lets trust their judgement and look forward to another great year at Saddlebow Road.
