g13webb Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 No Huckenbeck is not eligible to ride at reserve. The rules are crystal clear. An absent Number 6 (who is NOT an EDR) can only be replaced by a Guest. The additional rider (AR) can replace any top 5 rider. The rules explicitly cover a non-EDR at reserve and explicitly do not permit an AR as cover. There is no ambiguity. Now whether the rules are ignored is another issue. If only!! The rules for the EDR are so ambiguous The one thing that stands out about all the rules, is that they are never crystal clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 After last nights defeat at Swindon the lack of a quality reserve was more apparent than ever Lewis Rose did his job but we sure are missing the scoring power of Lewis Kerr .Again the change of race night has cost the team . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Haza, We Knew that before last night. No matter how much we shuffle the top 5 we still have that achilles heel at Reserves. Them's the cards we have been dealt. All Teams it seems can switch about with the main Reserve and still have a big hitter down there. Except Lynn of course.

arnieg Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think the rules are a total mess on this one and they have not thought about what will happen if an EDR goes into the 1-5, is he still an ERD or is he a 1-5 rider? and obviously vice versa, if a 1-5 rider drops to reserve is he still a 1-5 rider? There is no definition of a 1-5 rider. It's often said the rules are badly written and I'm not sure they are. But in this case I don't even want to try and second guess what the BSPA will come up with! Well I tried, and I was wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just been announced that Buster has sold King's Lynn Football Club. Whether this will have any effect on the speedway is a matter of conjecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say, buy yourself a nice new car Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 My hope would be that he would have more time to focus on Lynn speedway and make improvements to it presentation & off track entertainment wise but I honestly think he , along with the other promoters, don't think there is anything wrong.

I cant understand why we apparently have a squad [Jacobsen and S.Lambert ] but arent at least trying them out ?? Failing that - strengthen the team or we'll be battling it out with Leicester for the wooden spoon this year!!!

I cant understand why we apparently have a squad [Jacobsen and S.Lambert ] but arent at least trying them out ?? Failing that - strengthen the team or we'll be battling it out with Leicester for the wooden spoon this year!!! Jakobsen is currently out injured after he took a tumble whilst riding for Peterborough at Plymouth several weeks ago. He got concussion and was told to sit out for 28 days. That's probably why he's not been tried out recently. He's not allowed to ride in the UK until June 3rd, yet he was allowed to ride over in Denmark this week and he scored 14 apparently. Yeah, work that one out!!!!! Doesn't make any sense but he's not allowed to ride over here until his 28 days are up. That's what I've seen on Twitter in recent days anyway. Not sure why they don't get Simon in for Wilkinson and give him a run out...although saying that, that might have something to do with him not wanting to miss many, if any, meetings for Peterborough as he has picked up a bit of sponsorship through being involved over there. That's why they went for Wilkinson in the first place from memory. As for battling with Leicester for the wooden spoon, I've felt a bit like that since day one when the team was announced If we come away with nothing this year, it would come of no surprise. Against the likes of Poole (everyone's favourites ), Belle Vue and Wolverhampton in particular, we're not strong enough. I'd even put Swindon in that list actually. I didn't think they'd do too well this year, but it looks like they could prove me wrong! We'll be mid-table at best or right at the bottom. I know I'm such a pessimist but that's my genuine feeling.

When available would do a better job than Wilkinson at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cant see us making the play-offs but can't see us doing battle with Leicester for the wooden spoon either. It's looking like a middle of the road season doing battle for position with Lakeside and Cov. So anywhere from 5th to 7th. Hopefully with Buster in full control of the BSPA next season and the introduction of all his new ideas he will steel a march on the others and have a team sorted to challenge in 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 That's a cert, with Chapman in charge the stars are in for a successful season in 17. Same s*^% different faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Think we all need to be thankful Iversen decided to stay or we'd be dead certs for wooden spoon - wilkinson shouldn't be in a fast track reserve position anyway at 35 surly this isn't what it was set up for - I'd had a max age limit of say 25 it should be for young up and comers not 35 year olds that going nowhere- Huckenbeck after a good start seems to have gone backwards was very poor Thursday and Mads being Mads 0320 so inconsistent - the next problem could be when Rory is fit to return who will get dropped with Rory on a high average it could be difficult fitting him back in . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
