Its a good job SCB knows ALL the rules and regs

I'm just repeating whats been posted on here, and nobody has said it's not true so for now it's all we have to go on. To know for sure we need to wait for the rulebook with I'm expecting to be released in 4-6 weeks.

 

O K thanks , just confused :D

Aren't we all?! Especially if we throw in BSPA asset Danny King :D

with King being a BSPA asset Ipswich should get priority as per the new rule - there are more PL clubs so the PL has a bigger share! wink

Zengi or Woodwood?

I'd have gone with Zengi but woody could be a surprise package this year.

Think if Woodward can settle in quick and GEL with the rest of the team he`ll be a good signing but.... I`ve always thought of him as an all or nowt rider but am hoping he`ll prove me wrong this season !!!! Think we`re better off keeping with English speaking riders where possible, its been a problem in the past where team track walks have been them and us situations.......

I agree. Though when Zengi rode for us his attitude to the off track involvement was second to none. He spoke good English and joined in with the fans/events really well.

A gater would support an otherwise racer team.

Though I'm not against woody.

Who knows. Roll on March!

In this weeks speedway star Brian havelock reckons Redcar have priority for robbo as they have declared their team first.

So there.

 

I read that too. Seems to contradict the point mooted on this forum that priority will be based upon the league membership of the rider's contracted club. The rule put forward by Brian Havelock in the Speedway Star has never been in place before though, so it must be a new rule for 2015.

 

If Brian Havelock is correct, then I believe Coventry have made HUGE mistake in their team building as that rule would seem to suggest that we do not get priority over either Danny King or Stuart Robson. We already know Rye House have priority over Jason Garrity. That means, of our four doubling up riders this year, we would only get priority over James Sargeant. Unless, of course, we sign Robson from Lakeside and King from the BSPA as assets.

 

I suppose we will not know for sure until some sort of statement is released from the Bees promotion. And this is what I find so frustrating. It would take a 2-minute post on here from Neil Watson to clear this up. A few people on here have raised this issue. Or do the supporters not have a right to know? Either way, I'm not renewing my season ticket until it's confirmed that I won't be watching the Coventry 'Rent-A-Team' Bees that I watched in too many meetings last season.

 

Come to think of it, what has happened to Neil Watson? I haven't seen a post off him in ages.

Have to say that with fixtures due to be announced tomorrow, I have still to see anything official stating that D/U rules have changed.

Anybody any links to where they have officially seen it? Otherwise won't we be worse off this year than last, having 3 D/U riders.

Has Havelock got it wrong though, we were def told that whatever league the rider is an asset of would get priority .....

But who were we told it by? Was the original posting about this rule ever substantiated?

 

If the rule put forward by Havelock is in place for this year (and he seemed pretty confident in the SS), this rule would affect Bees with Robson and Lakeside with Kennett. Assuming Edward is still a Bees asset, surely the simple thing to do is for the respective promotions to swap the registration of these riders for a season. Kennett becomes a Lakeside asset, so they get priority over him, and Robson becomes a Bees asset, so we get priority over him. Then, after the season, the registrations are swapped back.

 

Perhaps I have an overly simplistic view of the asset system!

That makes too much sense for promoters to think of lol.

But yes I would also like to know where this rule was officially announced. Have read it on here but not anywhere else?

The signing first makes most sense.

 

The original loan agreement surely shouldnt be adversely affected by a secondary contract.
