Reviresco Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 well what happes if Jake goes to number 1 are they still allowed a guest for Hughes if his average is lower then jake? is it only a guest for your number 1 Guest Facility is available in NL for an absent #1 Rider, and for any absent Rider if on PL/EL duty. RR is operated for an absent 2 - 5 Rider, and a Guest or RR facility is available if there is more than one absent 2 - 5 Riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 They have to get this sorted. Should go cap in hand to Ben with a sweetner and use the spare 1.5 points to get a good reserve. The way Jake, Georgie, Ellis and Ben rode at Coventry was as good as anything in the league and should be worth a point at Kings Lynn. The Reserves with having to cover for Andrews did a little better but they need to go well on Wednesday for the team to have any chance of winning.

catinthehat Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Rumours at Kent tonight are Ben has already got a team place at Belle vue. Not sure how true it was or. Late April fools jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 They would need to dump Payne to do that unless they have a re shuffle further down which I very much doubt they will as once Bewlwey moves up one will get and easy ride. At the moment it does look like Connor has shot himself in the foot, stabbed himself in the back and stubbed his toe on the kitchen table all at the same time.

Sings4Speedway Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 With the points Belle Vue have left over the could drop Shuttleworth and fit Hopwood in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Could drop Woolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Could drop Woolley They shouldn't be able to because the green sheets have Holt's average wrong. It should be 3.44 not 3.00, just check what he ended last season on because the 2015 final issue is right. Then that wouldn't give BV enough points to drop Woolley for Hopwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Be interesting to see how Luke gets on, was never great on big tracks in the PL, can't have ridden Lynn for quite a while either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Branford at Eastbourne after his punch up with Georgie last year? not a snowballs chance. Now Hopwood is out of the picture we really do have a problem. Could it be argued that Stefan Neilsen's contract was with the old Plymouth Promotion and that it expired when they closed and being without a team he was eligible to sign with Eastbourne before agreeing to ride for the new Plymouth promotion, thus making it a double up not a double down. Interesting legal point and maybe that is why we still have silence on the subject. Regardless of this it seems ridiculous that a rider can sit down with two promoters one NL and one PL at the same table and if he signs the NL contract first and seconds later signs the PL contract it is OK but if he signs the PL first he cannot sign the other. Ridiculous rules that make Speedway look silly. If a rider is eligible for each league there should not be any reason to stop him riding for both. Looking forward to the Kings Lynn match, with Luke Bowen at 1 and Jake & Georgie in great form plus Ellis usually up to scratch I can see a real close encounter. The result will depend on how the reserves cope with 11 rides between them. The Stars have a big advantage there with Kinsley . Charley always looks fast but struggles with the tight turns at Arlington, I have a feeling he will do a lot better on the larger tracks and the Coventry match was an improvement but he must stay on his bike when in a good scoring position. I may be tempting providence but I think a point is within our grasp maybe more if the reserves can pick up 6 or 7 between them. However I got the Coventry result oh so wrong and more egg may come my way tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Good for hopwood I'm pleased he won't sit out for a while as he poured some money in this season and at least he gets to ride a few meetings. Meanwhile we are still stuck in the rubbish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting legal point and maybe that is why we still have silence on the subject. Regardless of the legal point the BSPA should and I believe would veto such a move as not being in the sport's best interest. Do we really want to hear in a week's time that the Plymouth rescue bid has collapsed because three of their riders have been poached by other greedy teams? This is truly an appalling suggestion (unless you think Eastbourne winning is more important than Plymouth surviving). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
