stevehone Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 for example, Newcastle v Kings Lynn in the playoff. Rose & Lambert I'm guessing would be required at KL so Newcastle wouldn't be the team that got them to the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Connor Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've always thought it should be that unless the rider is an asset of a club, the senior league should take presidence The premiership is the main league in this country with television etc. so that league should take priority. For professionalism as much as anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Sure I read on another thread that the rider would ride for which ever club he mad most appearences for during the season, which make sense to me.

For professionalism as much as anything I can understand that, but the potential to rip apart a team that got to the top of their league isn't good for riders or fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The rule was changed at the AGM so the club the rider has ridden for the longest have preference. So for Craig Cook, if he signs for Belle Vue, they would have priority over Workington. If a rider was riding for 2 new clubs, It would then go on which league the team he's owned by rides in.

Fair enough , but it will be soul destroying for fans of any club having a rider they've cheered for all season turning out for the opposition against them in such an important fixture . If we must have doubling up ( and apparently riders cant make the sport pay without it ) then forget all about promotion and relegation once and for all .

KevH Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Sure I read on another thread that the rider would ride for which ever club he mad most appearences for during the season, which make sense to me. It may make sense to you, but it's unfair on the Premiership teams as they have less fixtures owing to the mismatch in league sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Maybe its a percentage of the teams meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sure I read on another thread that the rider would ride for which ever club he mad most appearences for during the season, which make sense to me. Except it makes no sense at all. If a rider rides all fixtures in both league the championship has more fixtures due to the number of teams. Are you really saying that the said rider should ride for the Championship club automatically, having not missed a meeting and is a club asset of the Premiership team? Is that really fair?!?!

Prem 32 league fixtures, Championship 36 league fixtures, hardly that much difference. Even If the rider during the season was doubling up between the 2 leagues and had priority with the Prem club, I'm sure he would then ride more matches for them, you only need 2 fixtures to clash during the season to alter the balance.

Shale Searcher Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Criteria in order should be:... 1) Owned By. 2) If not owned by either, same league as owned by. 3) If not owned at all (except BSPA), first signed for. If club meeting clash, same as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
