arnieg Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Think Ricky will be first port of call when Masters is missing.Thats if he wants to of course. Think you've overlooked the announcement that it's rider replacement for second strings in such circumstances 2016. (Although Masters will probably be a heat leader for some of the season.)

jenga Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Masters should miss any clashes with any scheduled Edinburgh matches and so should Max Clegg as like Lewis Blackbird last year the Premier League team got priority plus Max could miss meetings if there is a clash with Cradley fixtures. Howarth being a Workington asset also could miss meetings and with A and B fixtures that could be six Fridays for Edinburgh and more for Workington so away it could be about 4 away meetings with all three present at worst. are you guys thinking kyle still rides for worky. in 2016 he has signed for sheff . maybe i have read this wrong .

Steve0 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's a decent competitive side. Too much Christmas cheer I think. That side has bottom 3 written all over it - alongside Coventry and Leicester - all Midlands clubs too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Swindon on a Thursday. Hopefully the fixture list will minimise the rest. That would only be the home fixtures. Can imagine him missing a good few Friday fixtures due to amount of PL teams that ride then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I've always found it crazy that any rider trying to improve and get as far as they can in speedway should miss matches for their higher level team to ride for their lower side. Hopefully next year we will have a lot less fixture clashes. EL & PL really need to be on different nights entirely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if all PL clubs had priority, more riders would choose to move up to the EL full time to try to improve themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year we will have a lot less fixture clashes. EL & PL really need to be on different nights entirely. It needs to be regulated properly - with set nights designated to the EL and PL, and more help (to ride abroad) for riders who are stuck in the PL due to too few opportunities in the EL.

It would appear set for 2017. 2 set nights for the EL, the other 5 for the PL. I agree with you that more should be done to get EL standard riders rides abroad. There are too many riders forced to double down too make it pay when really they are too good for the PL. The PL on the flip side needs these riders as well otherwise as a league they would struggle yet some PL sycophants reckon it's the EL that is the problem league. Here is hoping ALL the leagues continue to find a way forward by working together. Hopefully some good will come out of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been saying this for years and it hasn't happened yet, a new rulebook written by people other than the BSPA would be helpful as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It must help, as must position sharing ........ Would position sharing actually increase the supply of riders or simply increase the demand? Coupled with the fact that only two or three teams could realistically afford the cost of two riders sharing one position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Not so sure this has been set. I'm only quoting what CVS said at the talk in. He said it would have happened for 2016 but for one team. so the plan is now for 2017. That is assuming the promoters all don't change their minds. However it was agreed that this is the way forward.
