Hume, Phillips, Stoneman, Clegg and Wilson out.

Thompson Twins, Flint (back in), Wallinger and Smith in

Takes deep breath...So Plymouth cannot manage to send a single rider to the event and Cradley can only manage one so presume there is a Mountain of doctors notes being produced or riders picking up the 2 match bans? Then the icing on the cake that Wally gets a ride when he is unattached (yes he has ridden for 50% of the clubs in the league) but surely any credibility this event has left will evaporate IF an unattached rider wins it.

Perhaps the National League 'Co-Ordinator'  (?), Jason Pipe , would like to explain to everyone how these decisions have been made as I can't for the life of me work out how a rider with no club takes precedence over a rider with a club who actually has a HIGHER average anyway!

Or that a club has no rider representation when other clubs have a few?

Come on Mr.Pipe, pipe up!

There appears to be no justification for what has been announced ( has it been announced publicly?) as the rule book simply does not allow it. It would appear the rules are to be ignored ( again ) and Vatcher and Pipe are just making it up as they go along.

No doubt the puppet Vatcher has been told by his masters, the BSPA Mafia, that they want precedence over the riders concerned and Vatcher has then told Pipe that this will happen, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SPORT as they like to say or to the detriment of the National League.

David Wallinger (Unattached),  What overall match average has this rider managed in the 2019 season? What clubs has he raced for this season? Why does he keep- changing clubs? What is his career long speedway background?

I have found this basic information on David Wallinger. No National League data however in regard to the 2019 season.

He doesn’t have a club so he shouldn’t be in regardless of his average. But his 2019 average is 4.32 and that’s lower than Ledwith, Marson, Brooks, Priest, Spooner, Harris, Bailey, Andrews, Campos, Terry-Daley, Embleton, you get the picture...

The weather forecast has somewhat changed with no rain throughout the day.

Mind you, there is time for that to change, and the line up.

Although likely to change how the devil is Cradley's Tom Spencer only reserve and Wally in the competition? Surely these should be switched. I can fully understand unattached riders at reserve (just) although Sam Woods is another odd choice but any willing reserves should be considered. But Cradley deserve two representatives and if Wallinger wants the rides he should let everyone see him turn up as a willing reserve :D

I’m a Plymouth fan and no rider on our part is shocking surely Andrews should have been asked before Wallinger I’d like to no why we have no rider 

Whilst there are very few fit Plymouth riders left i did believe that attendance was compulsory. Wilson has retired so escapes punishment but Stoneman, Andrews (both),Young & Bursill should by rights receive bans for the next two meetings (this season or next) but we all know they won't .

A taste of things to come next season perhaps? A team or even teams made up of freelancers taking part in the league with no home track, to try to keep the league going? I think something similar happened in one-day cricket some years ago, seem to recall the team was called Unicorns. In fact that could be a very apposite name.

Why is the discussion all about Wallinger all of a sudden? It's not his fault he's been asked to ride, surely the question , which is not being answered , is WHY was he asked ?

The decision makers need to explain themselves as to this line up.

 

Your right it shouldn’t be about him and they do need to explain themselves as does my team Plymouth’s promotion Why we can’t send a ride very poor show.

Questions do need to be asked about why was he asked? I do not believe that every single employed NL rider was asked before him. But also questions need to be asked of Wallinger as to why he thinks he can morally take the spot when he’s unemployed and been sacked more than once this season yet there other riders with teams who are not involved.
