So anyone want to guess the Panthers team?

I can see them begging Hansen for forgiveness and coming to a financial agreement with Sedgmen 

Ostergaard :unsure:

Lunna 

MPT 

Sedgmen 

Hansen 

Lambert 

Grondal 

No heat leaders at all and a rather desperate looking team 

Next plan - Sedgmen is injured

Non British riders on higher averages are being allowed to double up, a ruling passed at a conference does not trump employment discrimination laws. The rights and wrongs of the 'ruling' would be irrelevant in the appropriate court imo ....

Existing non British riders on lower 2017 PL averages  than Nicholls, such a Fricke, Bellego, Chris Holder, & Tungate are also barred from doubling-up, so your suggestion that the ruling discriminates against British riders is invalid.

Perfectly valid as UK employment law is there to protect UK citizens not foreign nationals.....

You've missed the point,  the ruling does not  exclusively apply to UK citizens.

But on another thread, people are moaning about not giving an American (who doesn't meet the criteria) a visa when British riders who are available, could do the job.

You really think it will be Nicholls then ....weeks away from the season , he wasn't eligible when other teams were building so hopefully justice is done and he still isn't ,                         a big risk leaving it this long for the Panthers considering who is on the BSPA panel ;)

In a nutshell spot on . Nothing but a pigs ear,  the last sentence tells everything , they should have expected this outcome, now lets see the plan B  if it exists.

Under the circumstances that Peterborough are in, with not being able to put out a competitive side maybe they should withdraw from the league and put the license on ice for a year

From what Scott is saying on Twitter that might not be the end of it...if I was him I would wedge that award they gave him right up Champmans arse.

Who says Chapman doesnt agree with him???

From what I got told this evening is a further complication that is Nicholls has offered to ride just in the Championship for Peterborough but the BSPA have said the rule still stands which then does open up avenues with employment law and discriminatory rules preventing employment in the U.K.

Not a fan but the only other option I can think of is Tungate...or is he not allowed too?

Tungate also averaged over 6 and didn't ride in the CL last year so is in the same position as Nicholls and Kennett. Also, he rides in Poland so I doubt he would be interested even if he was eligible.

If that is true then yes, this is wholly covered by the Equality Act 2010 and an employment tribunal would be the vehicle to use - they're now fee free as well.
