Cue Ball Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not sure how I feel about them changing the rules to fit Scott... on the one hand, he has been a fine servant for British speedway and deserves his chance to earn some cash, on the other hand, feel that the BSPA should grow a pair - they made a rule in the interests of the sport (I know that is a debatable point) and have then rolled over and amended it at the first sign of people being upset.

THE attempted rule was illegal and never accepted by the SCB but the BSPA stubbornly refused to accept the inevitable until now. It wasn't changed to fit Scott as it was never implemented in the first place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not so much whether the rule is right or wrong or good or bad , more the fact that less than a month before the start of the season the SCB/BSPA have only just sorted out what the rule is, and we apparently still don't have a rulebook, more than 3 months after the AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But this year it was because it was applied to riders of equal standing in a differing ways. It's easy. Apply the bloody rule or not. But do it to everyone. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 The rule used to be no riders above 6 in top league can double unless they already had a lower league average. This year's was no rider above 6 can double unless already has a lower league average. Looks the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
