dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 What seems surprising is that the PL clubs would vote for this. Would take 3 to side with the EL sides (assuming it was a single vote) What would they gain to make it worthwhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough probably didnt get a vote due to not being confirmed at the time, Glasgow due to new owners, Workington not had 3 years yet, same with Plymouth and Sheffield.

erimus11 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks once again...British Speedway and your farcical rules. The season has yet to start and we're already getting crapped on. Hardly seems worth the effort to contemplate how your team might fare when there's no guarantee that your main rider(s) might even be available for a number of your meetings. By my reckoning it's likely that Stuart Robson will probably miss 5 meetings for the Bears because he is committed to ride for Coventry No wonder speedway finds it so hard to convince people that it's a creditable sport   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Actually, it seems the BSPA do have their house in order, and have clarified the d/u regulations quite clearly before a wheel is turned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 that makes sense - so basically an EL stitch up whilst they had the chance! Hardly a stitch up if it was a fair vote! For years the PL have had the upper hand due to numbers. Which is hardly fair as most the riders are owned by EL clubs - as we're not finding out. so much for the EL needing the PL's riders  Thanks once again...British Speedway and your farcical rules.

You mean the rules in previous seasons that said the PL had priority over the NL and the EL was fair and just? That olnly happened as there were more PL clubs when it come to any vote. The EL have been screwed over for years with this. Maybe if the PL wanted the riders they could splash the cash and buy them?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Â Doesn't make it right though Whats not right about it? EL clubs owns rider, riders number 1 priority is the EL. Seems positively sensible to me, unlike a lot of other decisions in speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that sounds long winded and difficult to understand...that's speedway and typical of how it manages to alienate supporters and potential supporters Whats not right about it? EL clubs owns rider, riders number 1 priority is the EL. Seems positively sensible to me, unlike a lot of other decisions in speedway. Serious question - Why is his priority to the league and not a club? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it's unfair in that respect and have said so on the Redcar thread but how is that any different to what the EL have had to put up with for years? As it is, your suggested rule is not one I disagree with TBF. Â I didn't hear too many PL fans asking that in the past though. PL fans used to claim that the PL was keeping the EL going by letting the EL use their riders. The PL fans never seemed to grasp that the vast majority of doubling up riders are actually owned by EL clubs - which is staggering when there nearly twice as many PL clubs as EL clubs! Maybe if the PL clubs had played fair for years, the EL clubs would not have got their own back when they could (now). Funny how now the PL will only get priority with a small number of doubling up riders (Cook, Stead, Birks, Auty, Starke, Wright and Howarth out of 22 riders) the rules are crap - the EL have suffered for years and the PL fans just rubbed it in.
