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.

Ringitsneck Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No National League data however in regard to the 2019 season. http://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/9328/david-wallinger Edited October 16, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 If(when) Sunday gets called off will another re-staged meeting revert back to the original line ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 The weather forecast has somewhat changed with no rain throughout the day. http://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=Scunthorpe&locationID=56905&lat=53.6&lon=-0.7&dateFor=20/10/2019 Mind you, there is time for that to change, and the line up.

Sings4Speedway Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .

Parsy29 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Will Dave be acting as Plymouths representative ? He did ride for them during the season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringitsneck Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotteringAround Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 According to Plymouth Tom Young is representing them in the NLRC. No Wallinger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
