Panthers89 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Absolute farce, not the rules as they were set in stone. But the fact we went ahead and thought they would change the rules, its absolute child play. I'm a football owner, going to spend 1 billion quid, as they will change FFP rules next season, oh wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 But it is transparent...for this season no one over 6 allowed to double down unless already have a championship average....What's not transparent about that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that as a rule they've never been transparent and one decision in isolation still means that they've a long way to go to reach their goal. This was an easy and logical decision although had they thought about it earlier then they could quite have easily changed the rule so as not to have to say "Unfortunately, and regrettably, Scott Nicholls and Edward Kennett – two fine servants of British Speedway – were caught up in this.".

Thought they were still racing for Rye House in the PL.If they are that hard up they could get an ordinary job to work along side their speedway. As with most things there are limits,unfortunately those two are over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think your totally missing the point Aussies and Danes can double up but two Brits can’t - you say they are over the limit so come end of the season form dips average drops and they can then ride in the championship in 2019 how crazy is that ? And if he wanted to Craig Cook can ride in the championship how the hell does that work ? Edited February 1, 2018 by Haza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Team building really isn't a strength.

Now this will be very interesting trying to fill 2 team places with 13.76 left to play with , but no need to panic say's Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 What happens if Scott or Eddie get a new first set of averages this season that are below 6? then can they ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no other line of work would this be accepted. A GP rider can double up but not a British rider at a much lower level. They make the rules, regularly revise the rules and I hope this is not left to rest and taken further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should riders/clubs be notified a season in advance of the changes, possibly but whats done is done and all parties can move forward aggrieved or otherwise But it's a rule that hasn't really done the job it was designed to do. It's only stopped two riders (out of how many?) from doubling up/down. Whilst I don't disagree with the principle, it would have been much more fairer to all, and more effective, if they'd said that if you have a Championship average over 6, then you can ride in EITHER the championship OR the Premiership, but not both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
