If we re arranged a fixture for the 28 April, was it not on here or some other forums that Nicolai Klindt would be riding in a qualifying meeting for something or another.

If this is the case, will we be allowed a guest or will it have to be a N L rider.

IMHO ... tell them to go forth and multiply.

Tell who to go and multiply. Bspa or Glasgow Lots of posters suggest that the lack of fixtures is a joke, no one wants to come and race Workington, and we'll never get the shield finished. Glasgow seems to have agreed to come so why not run a match. I'm sure a guest would be allowed for any rider if they are racing in Poland or official fixture

The season is barely a month old and were into the same sh#t as last year regarding fixtures and guests.No wonder the sport is in decline as usual the AGM solve nothing ,it's just a p#ss up at the end of every season .

We offered to go to Workington on Saturday not been confirmed wether Workington have given it the ok.

 

Not too bothered what happens as it is all hot air and bluster from some on here when they post before the brain engages.

So I take it Glasgow can field their 1-7 , otherwise Workington would have been told to go forth and multiply, that's a certainty :rolleyes:

Nobody forcing Workington to agree but it may not suit Glasgow when Workington decide what is suitable for them.

It is fast turning into a mess again trying te re-arrange fixtures.

If both teams can't field their own 1-7 then imo don't run it until they can..unfair for either team to field a guest for the sake of getting a fixture in , its not as if there are loads of meetings this season

Yep 100% agree but getting that balance has proven difficult over the years , fixed race nights were supposed to alleviate this problem  apparently not it seems.

maybe the BSPA should take your advice - clearly well thought through - and declare the Worky v Edinburgh result void, as you used Charles Wright (guest) and Bradley Wilson-Dean (guest).

It doesn't matter what Glasgow can do/ They would be eligible for a guest and the way Chris and Richie have ridden so far a guest would probably not make us any worse. A bit like charles wright guesting for you and helping you beat Edinburgh

It doesn't really matter if there aren't that many matches nowadays, the point is that, in your opinion, clubs dont run a fixture because their genuine 1 to 7 aren't available then your suggesting that the fixtures are set aside until they have, dont think the season is supposed to last for twelve months because, with the power that riders have now, their priority is earning they will go for whats best for them at that time and how it was prioritised to start with?

Re arranged fixtures will always dent the best laid plans, injuries will do the same and as no club can afford a squad to pick from guests are a necessary evil, there is no point to running a competition at the start of the season as a curtain raiser and not finish it until Sept/Oct, as Jenga says, start later, match or two for cobweb removal, league underway!! :)

The paying public will always watch speedway guests or not but the fixtures should be completed by a certain time and no questions asked, clubs know the problems caused by riders going here there and everywhere but they still sign them and run the risk therefore, fixture needs running, guest employed to cover, match completed, it has to be that way or we'll never get anywhere? :unsure::(
