SCB Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 But didn't bees sell Robbo to Lakeside a few years ago? No. Coventry sold him to Rye House, who then sold him to Lakeside. But it does mean he's owned by an EL club so the EL will take priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 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 Aren't we all?! Especially if we throw in BSPA asset Danny King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we throw in BSPA asset Danny King 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thought we wanted less double up riders this season?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 See Zengota has signed for Swindon. I would have happily had him in the Coventry side esp on a 6.15 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thought we wanted less double up riders this season?! Doesn't really matter if there priority is with Coventry, it will be interesting to find out the King situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 See Zengota has signed for Swindon. I would have happily had him in the Coventry side esp on a 6.15 average. Zengi or Woodwood? I'd have gone with Zengi but woody could be a surprise package this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 In this weeks speedway star Brian havelock reckons Redcar have priority for robbo as they have declared their team first. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 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.......

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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Has Havelock got it wrong though, we were def told that whatever league the rider is an asset of would get priority ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) 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! Edited January 18, 2015 by G the Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I believe it has been said at more than one of the fans forums during the winter that a rider who is a asset of a El club would be priority in the EL if they have a EL place. Of course that could be wrong or can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studland Bee Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I have asked Stuart and he believes Redcar have priority over Coventry on the basis that he signed for them first so he is in effect doubling up with Coventry. From this he is saying if he had signed for an Elite club first and then a Premier club the Elite would then have priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 The signing first makes most sense. The original loan agreement surely shouldnt be adversely affected by a secondary contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
