Crazy robin Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 For Ward to get a visa surely it would only happen if he replaces a rider that has a visa also? He's replacing Adrian so no problem there & wll mean Rosco trying to get a better rider than Rasmus Jensen to replace Kyle/Zengi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 The cheating claim is pure farce! Batch was flat out at the front for the best part of 4 laps until engine problems on the approach to the line. You could hear his engine popping on the back straights. There would have been no point of pushing his bike to the limit & shutting off at that point! Pure nonsense from the midland brigade & yes Wolves are woeful! I Agree in way ..if he wanted to drop his average he could have had a ef at the start etc or just stayed last rather than stopping on the last corner . but at the same time it's rather strange to say the least that the ef allows us to bring Ward into the side . "Dun Robin"/Orion on Thursday i was around a few people who like you said were adamant they did not want changes that surprised me.In a way that was great for me loyalty to the riders i like all of the seven we have in the team.Howarth has really surprised me a true top five rider now he has been excellent Zengi, Charles, Nick, have been good all year.Lewis i have alot of time for and for me we have not got the worst reserves in the league.Ward i am happy with can we fit Kurtz in? if not Pawlicki in making our top five really strong but Ward could push us to the play/offs away wins needed.Also hopefully making the club a few quid through the turnstiles?would you two welcome Ward? what is your take what scenario would you want.? As I said before Sid there are pro's and cons ...the points put forward about winning away and bringing the crowds in are valid points ...for me the cons win the day I like the the team we have at the moment and have enjoy watching them this season bar am of course plus I don't want a rider who might try to keep his average down to make sure he has a job with Poole next year. Who ever gets replaced it's going to harsh for them and Rosco is going to have to make a tough call . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Zengota won't be the one to go. It will be a British rider who will lose his jobexactly so should a visa be granted when the direct result is a Brit losing his job?I dont think.that UKVI would look favoravly on that. In fact legally Zengota as an EU national losing his job could be viewed the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still be working, so to speak , for Workington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see the team GB manager sack the only British rider in his team, after talking about how we need to support British riders. He will have a team of Aussies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the future there should be a rule on a minimum amount of Brits in each team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see the team GB manager sack the only British rider in his team, after talking about how we need to support British riders. He will have a team of Aussies What is it with you and your obsession with this? It's fine for Coventry. They are sitting on top of the league table and, despite this, also in a position to strengthen if they want due to how the averages work. In fact, they could even be in a position to sign who Swindon are forced to release. Swindon will be no stronger after this. Coventry could well be stronger thanks to the miraculous drop in the averages of their top two over the last month.. We, meanwhile, have been left in a position where we don't have a number one rider. This is due, in no small part, to the points limit from which you have benefitted. What choice do we have? Swindon don't want to release anybody, but they have no choice if they want to sign the only number one rider available out there. Enjoy your league title. It must be nice to be able to have the British number 4 at reserve all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Scotty, Bomber, Lambert and possibly Cook, i would imagine all the other Brits would want to ride Prem lge as well.. EDRs don't count as double-uppers. The proposal - if it goes through - is to have at least one Brit from the EDR as a second string. Whether that affects how the EDR system works in the future we shall have to see.

Whether that affects how the EDR system works in the future we shall have to see. I'd prefer we just went back to the old race format. Still two EDR riders but they'd all start moving into the 1-5 then. The following season we make it 3 EDR riders per team and if Garrity, Newman and Kerr in that time make to heat leader then brilliant, but they're still EDR riders. Should revert to averages too. But ANY Brit without an EL average, moves up on a 3 after the start of next season where they would have to move up on an converted average.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the plans and schedule for the EDR's were laid down so everybody knew the score. Instead of which, it appears the BSPA make it up as they go along........... Unfortunately, half thought out ideas, are not the recipe for success..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really should be a plan well ahead for this one. Not rushed in at the AGM. In fact all rules. Lets us, the fans know some of the rules and we can see some of the flaws before they happen so things can be tweaked before they happen.
