mdmc82 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Blackbird is a PL asset so PBoro will get priority. Still not 100% sure as some saying he's a PL asset and so saying he's a NL asset which is why I left the question mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 bruv, you need to put your faith in Lewis Blackbird, & the clubs that have spoken to Mildenhall about buying him. PM me, & I will prove it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Isn't that pretty much where things started?EL teams had the option of using one or two positions in their team for "double up" riders...They "signed" 2 riders who were PL riders to cover a position and used the one that was available. In most cases there was one rider who was far better than the other so the EL team used them every meeting that they could and rarely used the other....so then they decided that they didn't need the two riders and they would just use a guest when the PL rider wasn't available...and then we drifted into the current situation.So really you are asking how we get back to where we started from...Yes I probably amSee cheeky cobras post too And Gordon bennets too Edited February 15, 2015 by ch958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 so if a rider is a NL rider, does PL get priority anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 so if a rider is a NL rider, does PL get priority anyway?Yes. Always has. That's why it's so funny the PL fans are so upset the EL generally gets priority now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes. Always has. That's why it's so funny the PL fans are so upset the EL generally gets priority now. thanks. Just wondered why it matters really who Blackbird is a asset of then as means Peterborough will get priority either way. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP URANUS Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Perhaps,it would be better if no rider doubled up or down. They could be however be available as a guest at any time. This would solve any problem of who has priority, the parent club would then have sole discretion on who the rider guests for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 thanks. Just wondered why it matters really who Blackbird is a asset of then as means Peterborough will get priority either way. xit has been an ongoing 'debate' from before the the priority thread with no definitive answer -yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes. Always has. That's why it's so funny the PL fans are so upset the EL generally gets priority now. I'd be happy for pl to operate similar squad system as suggested for El Everybody gets a full team As another poster has said it's too simple to actually happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really you are asking how we get back to where we started from... It was originally devised to give PL riders a chance to dip their toe in higher level racing, without having to sign formally for an EL slot. The intentions were good, just the same as doubling down was to supplement riders in the EL with extra meetings, without having to sign for a foreign team. Went wrong somewhere in the middle tho.

ZODIAK Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Re Lewis Blackbird. Individuals cannot own riders assets and have not been able to for years. Chris Louis cannot own him. Lewis signed as a Mildenhall asset and as far as I know has never been sold. He certainly does not belong to Chris. With the news that Peterborough have just "secured Ostergaard as a full asset from Rick Frost and Julie Mahoney", I guess you're wrong!

Joseq7 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) With the news that Peterborough have just "secured Ostergaard as a full asset from Rick Frost and Julie Mahoney", I guess you're wrong! I'm not able to give a definitive answer to this but I do recall at Glasgow when Alun Biggart took over the that previous, at that time, promotor(s) Stewart Dickson ( and Alan Dick?) was said to have technically "owned" the contract of Josh Grajczonek, Nick Morris and Mason Campton. The inference being that when they were sold that Glasgow Tigers Speedway (plc) were not getting the transfer money.
