hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 not sure of the answer to that BUT am very glad Rob is now riding as there is no way would I have willingly swopped Rob for Ben (no offence to anyone but Ben has not even ridden a competitive meeting this season) especially as Swindon now look a much stronger team using r/r Also hope Rob is available to us on Thurs at Swindon instead of riding for Sheffield Have to totally agree with that, also Redcar are at home on Thursday wonder if that means we may lose Ellis Perks as well, certainly hope not, if we get a good result tonight and the weather is good on Thursday I may make the trip down to Swindon to support what I hope will be our full 1 - 7 team with no guests. This is the ruling taken from the 2017 regs,: 16.1 Fixtures shall take priority as follows: FIM SGP, SWC, SGP Qualifying Meetings, FIM U21 World Speedway Championship Meetings, FIM Europe U21 Championship, British Championships (Senior, Junior), BSPA Shared and Fee Events, Official Competitions: 1. SGB Premiership; 2. SGB Championship; 3. National Development League. NB. Non-Official Competitions have no priority over any of the above. A Rider must be released to take part in a higher priority Meeting, unless he is “Doubling Up”, in which case the priority for a clash of Official Meetings is as follows: - 1) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged Fixture 2)1st priority to the owner of the rider 3) 2nd priority to the previous season club 4) 3rd priority to the league in which the owner club is a member. This would imply that Rye House have priority as 1) and 2) don't apply in this instance. Thanks for that info, I wonder why Rye were originally allowing him to ride at Sheffield tonight, was it trying to be helpful at the expense of our team or was it that someone was just as confused about the rules as me, anyway reading your post makes it much clearer thank you.

hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Just got my brain in gear and with pencil and paper in hand I think I am right in saying Ellis Perks is a Poole asset and last year he rode for Plymouth and Eastbourne so by my calculations I assume that on Thursday at Swindon Rye will have priority over Redcar - hope I've worked it out right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Can see Rye winning this by at least 10. Swindon so far look poor which is a shame as the club has its good supporters especially on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 So rye house have priority for Perks but not Branford is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Point 2 - He's a Redcar asset, point 3 He rode for Rye House last year, point 4 - Redcar and Sheffield are in the same league. So it must be point 4 takes preference over point 3 in other words stick a pin in and see what you end up with. Poor Rob must be going up and down various motorways today not knowing where he will end up - what a shambles. Let's hope Ben Morley is still available.

Shadders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 If that's the rules in that post then surely Rye have priority as in rule 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Exactly! On Sheffield web site they say they've been in touch with the governing body for clarification, I will be emailing the governing body and asking them to explain it to me in plain English as well because on the priority list number 1 comes before number 2 therefore number 3 must come before 4, or is my maths as bad as that of the governing body!

hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 What governing body! God knows - but I will email the Control Board at Rugby (email: info@scbgb.co.uk) and see if I get any sort of response. I know - lets all email them and see what happens - probably nothing but you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef robin Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 This could be closer than most people think...Rye 48 Swindon 42...with The Robins winning on aggregate in Wiltshire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) This could be closer than most people think...Rye 48 Swindon 42...with The Robins winning on aggregate in Wiltshire. Will be happy with a gap like that. The excellent Speedway Updates site already has it listed. Edited April 8, 2017 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Will be happy with a gap like that. The excellent Speedway Updates site already has it listed. Morra is on fire, Doyley can only improve, Bellego looked good against Belle Vue. After seeing the ammering Belle Vue gave to Poole last night The Robins did well to only lose by two to them on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
