scoobydoo Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Why does speedway continually make things difficult for itself by over complicating things ? It's not a national tournament , not every team gets to compete . The so called qualifying procedure is based on the accumulative totals of the averages of four riders , who for whatever reason might not even be riding on the day . What it is , is a prestigious invitational competition between the hosts , Peterborough , and seven invited clubs . Does it really matter therefore if a rider is signed for one of those clubs one week or two weeks before the event , or another rider is injured for a month and decides to make his comeback in the same event ? If a rider is in one of the eight club's one to seven on the morning of the event , then he should be eligible to ride for his club . Makes things much simpler . This is exactly how it should be, stupid rules destroy most sports and speedway does have its fair share of poxy rules thats for sure.

SCB Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Shawn They could put MPT at reserve and give him all Grondal,s rides, what difference would it make. You're right they can. And in so we ways it's pretty irrelevant here as Grondal is not a trump card in reserve but what if other teams out there 3rd or 4th rider in reserve they could gain from it. It should be teams 5th rider in reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I take it then that Glasgow's latest signing will be able to replace Morris in the line up now they have only 3 other top 5 riders available? Peterborough were beyond their top 5 though, and were looking at numbers 6 & 7, and one of those is injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Peterborough were beyond their top 5 though, and were looking at numbers 6 & 7, and one of those is injured As are Glasgow if we cant use Nieminen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Peterborough were beyond their top 5 though, and were looking at numbers 6 & 7, and one of those is injured so therefore should have been replaced by plymouth or scunny.

Lukas Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 You need to let it go..we are the hosts and our team of 4 have rode for us for most of the season...OK Grondal hasn't but he's at reserve anyway and isn't really gonna impact anything..as I've already said I haven't got a problem with Glasgow using Niemo..the more competition and quality the better.

Tapeworm Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Irrespective of the rights or wrongs of their deliberations, it is very disappointing that the BSPA have not announced revisions to the team line-ups for the PL Fours with only 3 days to go before the event. My decision to attend or not will be based on which 4 riders represent the Weegie Tigers, If Nemo is not included, it is a hell of a long way to travel to watch a team with little chance of competing.... and I need to book accommodation. Do they understand about marketing this event to potential spectators or are they just avoiding the runpus when different teams are unfairly treated ?

There are teams missing out altogether... Now i know your very biased but it has to be a level playing field for all teams and its blatantly not, surely its not to much to ask for a professional sport? I quite like the panthers but they simply shouldnt be in it at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Glasgow should be allowed to use Niemenen, but with an Edinburgh influence on the committee who knows .. which is why I'm still gobsmacked Lambert is allowed to ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Peterborough or Somerset to win. Workington on paper are a solid side but i think we could finish either last or second! Edited July 31, 2015 by topaz325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Line ups here: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100435 Thank you very much. Seems odd that potential spectators have to find this on a club website. Why on earth has it not been posted on the BSPA website with, now, just 2 days to go? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
