Mattfordfan Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Panthers fans. Your team is not that bad if you think forward after the first set of GSA's come out. Grondal will be sacked after about 4 weeks because Nicholls's average will drop to 8.50 or something like that. IMO Peterborough are only one change away from becoming a top 4 side. Peterborough already have a better line-up now then 5 teams for starters. Berwick - No firepower. Doolan and Howe are past there best. Summers is not a No.1 Edinburgh - Team of reserves apart from Wells and E. Riss. Redcar - 2 riders riding in the 1-5 who have never ridden British tracks before. Also Barker and Kus as a top 2 is a weak pairing Newcastle - Terrible team. Workington - Don't have a No.1. Klindt averaged 5.68 or something like that when he last rode in the 2nd tier. Unreliable team tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 On 23/02/2018 at 1:06 PM, Taylorj said: Absolutely disgusting if its true , how the hell can they justify the overturn when Lakeside were unable to sign them at the start of the season.. or any other team for that matter,. to be honest I don't think Nicholls or Kennett are that amazing these days anyway...complete farce But it complies with the law. Were you also proposing that Nick Morris, Chris Harris, Danny King, Steve Worrall, Rory Schlein, Richard Lawson, Kyle Howarth and Charles Wright, all with PL averages >6 be stopped from riding CL, because that would at least have been fair? Yep, the discrimination was disgusting, hence the swift action from the SCB. In years gone by 1st Div averages were doubled when riders went to the 2nd division (halved if going the other way) and therefore it was impossible to go above 6 as that would make it over 12 in the 2nd div. The fact that riders who now ride in both demonstrate a much lower conversion is the reality says a lot about the strength of the leagues. Not long before an amalgamation I think as Mon/Weds will be financial ruin for some of the top division clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously call that swift action? I'd call it appalling incompetence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t often agree with EI Addio but he is spot on with this one, although if my information is right it was only announced on the 23rd Feb, it was decided a while ago Edited February 24, 2018 by bigcatdiary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the official line might be the Showground is not available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its a very reasonable point to suggest that Rathbone (with the backing of the SCB) has forced the BSPA to change an unfair and illegal rule, all it has gained Peterborough is a rider on a hugely inflated average. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Exactly, Buster and co have made a dog's breakfast of the job but they are the latest in a long line of chairmen and committees to do the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
