It's all relative though isn't it? If NKI were to score 6/7 at Wimborne Road, it would be considered poor for a rider of his stature. In contrast, should Adam get a similar tally this evening, it would be considered a good effort in the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oafski Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Not sure if anyone has asked this already but if Adam Ellis rides in both legs of the final for opposing teams will he get both a Winner's and a Runners Up medal?

woofers Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Can someone quote the rule that excludes the riders from the other teams that contested the semi finals please, as I can't see it in the Speedway regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely riding in a benefit for another rider with serious injuries is not thinking of self importance.Your post in poor taste IMO . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is true but in his last two meetings at Poole Iversen has scored 5 and 6 whereas Ellis has scored 9 and paid 9 so on form Ellis should outscore Iversen.

foamfence Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 We just get some good national TV publicity about Tai and then we get this rubbish, a Premiership final that anyone who still has a bike running can join in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazlux Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 In the best interests of the sport Poole will use Nick Morris home and away. Makes good sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes good sense. For the first time real common sense applied. It was a completely ridiculous situation that did nothing but damage the sport. Now we can look forward to the final with no issues. However, if we win it I guess some will say its a tainted win as we are over the points limit in the second leg........ So Iversen out of both finals.

Steve Shovlar Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk GRAND Final rivals Poole and King’s Lynn have named their teams for both legs of the Premiership title decider this week. Adam Ellis will figure for King’s Lynn in both legs of the tie to replace the injured Niels-Kristian Iversen – and Poole have now booked Nick Morris to cover for Brady Kurtz, also in both meetings. Kurtz crashed out of last Monday’s semi-final thriller with Somerset and sustained a broken collarbone, and Grand Prix star Iversen was hurt in the Tomasz Gollob Benefit meeting in Poland on Sunday. The move to book both riders for both legs has been approved with the agreement of both the Poole and King’s Lynn managements, the Speedway Control Bureau and the BSPA Management Committee. British Speedway vice-chairman Rob Godfrey said: “There was a serious risk of damaging the credibility of our sport because of the guest riders switching clubs after the first leg. “We all agreed this cannot be allowed to happen at a time when the sport is enjoying such a high profile with a British World Champion crowned at the weekend. “A slight amendment has been made to the regulations to allow for these line-ups, and I think everybody agrees it is in the best interests of the sport. “We now wish both Poole and King’s Lynn all the very best for what should be a really entertaining Grand Final for the fans present at each venue and those watching the superb coverage on BT Sport.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
