ouch Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd have just done onto others and paid them a fee and told them to score two or less. Just not made that way I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Belle Vue have stopped there riders riding for play offs rivals I take it you just mean Swindon & King's Lynn with Poole & Coventry already through (although Scott & Stefan Cov assets anyway) It makes sense if true as look at the amount of points Rory helped teams get & there is a chance it could come back to haunt King's Lynn.

SUPERACE Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I take it you just mean Swindon & King's Lynn with Poole & Coventry already through (although Scott & Stefan Cov assets anyway) It makes sense if true as look at the amount of points Rory helped teams get & there is a chance it could come back to haunt King's Lynn. Yes he means our main play off rivals, but the fact Scott and Stefan being coventry assets means nothing, it's up to belle vue this season not coventry as we own thier registration. As for 4th place it's there for the taking for all 4 teams. Belle vue on great form the key matches being swindon home and wolves away, win both of them and I think we are in, lose at home to swindon and we are out, a point at Poole tonight would be a big bonus. Swindon also on form but have 5 very tough away matches and got hammered at Poole last time the faced a decent team away. Kings Lynn have 1 more home meeting than the other 2 teams but are the team with worse form and injuries, they are unbeaten at home though and must remain so to get top 4 has I think they will struggle to pick up another away point. Still a long way to go yet and just one slip up by either team could finish them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Of course and even worse luck was the lack of rider availability e.g Bad luck of Kcrmar being suddenly unavailable against Lakeside due to having a meeting the following night. Meeting was a Euro U-21 in Debrecen, Hungary: start time 3pm GMT - not the easiest place to get to, so fair enough on this occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Â Well there's certainly nothing wrong with your sense of humour!! Â And I think you're mixing me up with someone else. I am not and do not know 'KKS'. Â Sense of humour? Â Its a statement of fact that the current tactical system is the 'fairest' it has ever been. Â Do I like it? No I don't, but that's a different issue. Â The play-off race is certainly an exciting one, Swindon have picked up much more than I expected.

That's a starman level of logic so the EUROPEAN u21 Chanpionship is not a European Chanpionship?!

g13webb Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Its all very well calling off meeting early, to save all parties inconvenience, but now the season running out fast, with only a few weeks to go before the 'Cut-off' date, some clubs may struggle to fulfil all their fixtures. Â Could we see a problem where the play-off qualification is dictated by the number of matches played rather than the results of them.....?????? Â Having reduced the importance of our speedway league season to a 4 team conclusion, the mind boggles on the next trick the BSPA will pull from the hat.......

It's not an FIM meeting. And no facility should have been allowed. God only know how they managed to get away with it. It's even on the FIM Europe website ===> http://www.fim-europe.com/index.php/sport/track-racing   Here you go..... http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news/article.asp?id=2154 "... Erik Riss will also miss the meeting. He is racing in the European under 21 team championship in Sweden and as this competition is not recognised by the BSPA we must bring in an NL guest..." shocking that eh?! European Championships not recognised!   And Edinburgh used "NL junior" (Matt Williamson) in place of Berge at Berwick who was in an EU U21 meeting.

SCB Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It turns out he wasn't in a Euro meeting that night. He was riding in the Czech league, so a facility was allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) @GavinCaney: Lyon: "One thing I do want to highlight is the unwillingness of Belle Vue to let us use their riders as guests." (2/2) #speedway  Seems Belle Vue are not allowing their riders to guest for King's Lynn or Swindon. I guess it does make sense not to help your place off rivals. The only risk they run is if they need guests themselves. Edited August 13, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they do as the usual basement dwellers Belle Vue get all high & mighty the first time for years they have even a chance of making the play offs.  I actually have thought they had a great team all season & if Swindon didn't win the league before this I wanted them to but not no more.

I don't see how anyone can have a problem with Belle Vue doing this. I would not want a Swindon rider putting in a match winning score for either BV or KL at the moment. Would just be plain silly if our own rider contributed to us missing out on the play offs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. People were moaning not long ago about Zengi guesting for Belle Vue and Cook for Swindon and they had a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 If the league had more riders then it is fair enough & at least I assume the other clubs fighting for a play off slot will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
