In this years case there was no democratic process, the rules, changes and new entrants were impossed upon us and we were not guaranteed that it would return to normal in 2022 - ie by way of a democratic vote. This is why we left. Had there been a democratic vote or even a promise to allow a democratic vote for 2022 we would still be in the BSPL. We could not allow ourselves to be dictated to, put on something we struggled to support, at our cost, our risk, our reputation, to develop riders we are not allowed to sign... totally for the benefit of higher leagues....

Speedway in the U.K. is run by the ACU/SCB & BSPL, if you want to play the game you really have to be part of it, warts and all.

The costs are relevant to what league you are in, the higher the league the more the cost.

The BSPL have always dictated things, that’s nothing new is it.

I don't believe that is possible, precisely because the RS riders don't have a Green Sheet average.

I find that a bit unfair on all the other rising stars if that's the case then.So Rowe can guest for both but all the others can't.They do all have an average though that they could still work to surely.

Think it was confirmed they're all deemed a 3.00 to be able to guest in the 1-6.

If another 'Woffy' came along and rode in the main body of the team, but was still an RS (like Anders Rowe), and ran say a 7 point average as he was so good...

Could he then guest as a replacement for a 4* rider?

Presume so given it appears your average 'doesn't matter' as was shown when Rowe recently guested for Bates..

 

Let me remind you of the last such scheme (fast track development) when just such a rider guested for inexperienced Lee Derbyshire - his name Tai Woffinden!

I am sure that Andres Rowe is on the rising star list , but Ipswich put him into the main body of the team so didn’t use him as their rising star option.

That's right, Drew Kemp is who they are using as their Rising Star .... I should've explained myself more clearly durrr

maybe one of the reasons NOT to sign up to the RS list?

So as Anders Rowe can guest for a rising star and anyone from 1-6 if his average fits.Could then any rising star who don't have an average guest for any 1-6 rider ie say Brennan for Wells.

Surely Brennan must be able to guest for Wells, 4* equating to a 4.00 ave?

I'm happy with that,something had to happen.Those 2 gave up when last and were not committed to riding for King's Lynn imo.Even if Barker don't score many points i am sure you will see a rider putting in some effort.Not my favourite rider but he now gets my support as he is riding for us:D

Two changes.  Barker and Anderson in Heeps and Wells gone.    Will that offer that much improvement ?

Whether it does or doesn't at least the management are not sitting on their ars£$ and letting the season just drift along.I would think most fans that are attending wanted to see something like this to happen.
