gazzac Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Can you offer a rationale as to why the rule was brought in? Speedway, rationale, rulebook? I don't think so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 In 1 way it protects the rider , if they are not an asset ,nobody can stand in their way if they want to change from 1 club to another .all well and good for riders who remain in NL , but not so good for NL clubs ,who give kids a chance only to have the skimmed off by higher league clubs for free.and once they have the higher league club can then Sell them .

East End Fan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 This issue of riders' contract ownership by N.L. clubs is beginning to be noticed and objected to by more and more N.L. fans. I am certainly one of them. Surely this cannot be right or fair ? What can the N.L. clubs do about it ? They don't seem to be very actively objecting unless there is something going on which we do not know about. As I see it the rule is a self destruct button as the N.L. clubs will slow down their efforts to find new young riders and will use older riders on an ever increasing basis...Thin end of the wedge, look at Stoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Riders who show up well, or even seem likely to, are soon snapped up by EL or PL teams, as we have found out at Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yes JJ, is this not the result of the selfish BSPA rule that does not allow N.L. sides to own contracts ? It is time that supporters of the N.L. teams made their objections to this rule known. The senior promoters must be ashamed of themselves for introducing such an unfair rule...and it WILL backfire as less and less N.L. teams bother to search for kids, so the life blood of the sport will dry up..well done BSPA.

uk_martin Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes JJ, is this not the result of the selfish BSPA rule that does not allow N.L. sides to own contracts ? ..well done BSPA. If you think about it, how many people make up the BSPA? Let's say it's one per club, less the clubs like BV who have teams in 2 leagues, so that's what? 28? (maybe even 27 depending on who Gary Patchett wants to represent) It's not that many people. It's less than the average class size when I was at school. And yet they still have an organisation with more politics and in-fighting than the pretty much same number of representitives from what's left of the EU countries. How can so few people divided themselved up into so many cliques and vested interest groups with so many feudes and so much discord? Why can't they just get along?
