uk_martin Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 The Brummies press release this morning stressed that a new signing is subject to the approval of the BSPA. As it's been announced, one must assume that the BSPA have ruled on what's in the best interests of British Speedway again. Which of course doesn't prevent them from making a U-turn at any moment.

WalterPlinge Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 How can it be in the best interests of the sport to let the strongest team in the league break the rules to strengthen whilst the likes of Buxton, IOW and Stoke struggle with understrength teams? #Shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject to MC approval. This is the regulation in Question so is he eligible or not !!!!! Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hobbit Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 JPB is out with a shoulde injury which has left him with no feeling in his arm and, hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 14 hours ago, WalterPlinge said: Birmingham have apparently named James Shanes. However as his CL average for Sheffield is above 4.00 he isn't eligible for NL.   So either Birmingham have made a mistake, or the BSPA/SCB aren't applying their own rules properly.  #Shambles  Last night, the promotion said that it had been agreed with the BSPA; and it is in the BSPA web site now, so it would seem to be kosher.

In any case, Shanes was replacing another top rider, JPB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Max Clegg replaced Ellis Perks last year & he had an average over 4 (about 4.3 I think). It is in the initial Declaration where the over 4 applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yeah it’s a league starting average. Shanes was not over 4.00 at the start of the Championship season, even though he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect nothing stopped stoke or anyone else just got over the fact nothing is wrong with the signing . Out of interest what team so you follow if you follow any team at all .

It's simply an astute signing within the rules (Art 19.7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 The haves and the have nots will always be the case. In the past promoters would have gentlemen’s agreements about who ride where and avoid an imbalance but it still occurred. I agree that Eastbourne and Birmingham have vested interests in running challenging teams as probably Lakeside would do if they were still in this league. I see Kent as having the right balance and say good luck to Mildenhall who have harvested an exceptional group of talented riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
