This may do less harm than carrying on, carrying on as they have for 20 years. Maybe, but i certainly cannot see 6 man teams increasing attendances anywhere, imo it will do the exact opposite. imo.

As I see it, there is no hope of a significant revival regardless of whatever plan the BSPA come up with. Managed decline is all that it is now.

Aces51 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 There are many changes that need to be made but as I have said previously it would be a significant step forward and cost nothing for them to devise a sensible rule book that is applied impartially and without exception. That would at least ensure that the various competitions, league, KO Cup etc., have a greater degree of credibility. Unfortunately, I have little confidence that we shall ever see it considering that the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the BSPA and the SCB were involved in the farce we witnessed involving the guests for the play off final. They obviously thought that the best solution to the problem was to ignore the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been established elsewhere Morris average was lower than Kurtz so was eligible to guest at home and away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official averages to include the Swindon v Belle Vue meeting on the 27 September have not yet been issued according to the SGB website and those in force were those shown in issue 27 on the SGB website. That is in accordance with the following; 16.2.1.4 Updated MA’s will be calculated monthly on a rolling basis on all eligible meetings, up to and including 23rd of the month to become effective from the 1st of the following month.

Steve Shovlar Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 The announcer at Kings Lynn said that Morris was able to ride as the 5% extra for home meetings had been extended to away fixtures as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no supplementary regulation on the SCB website that would confirm that to be true. Wasn't it just an agreement reached between the 2 teams, BSPA and SCB, which is unfortunately, typical of the way the sport is run and why it lacks any credibility. The 5% at home can be argued as justified because most riders have a higher home average than their GSA but the opposite is true of away averages and makes adding 5% ridiculous.

So Lynn can use R. Worrall at Somerset.. ??? Toft 5.65..... Worrall 5.81 .. fits with the 5%.. Or was the 5% away rule for 1 meeting only?

Teams built for winning at home only. Away from home teams will ride with 7 guests who are track specialists to that paticular track.

Midland Red Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Perhaps the local cart dealer could take over from the present incumbent - or at least become the main sponsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
