When the precedent was set to allow Richard Lawson to ride for Ipswich rather than Eastbourne, Eastbourne reported that “The usual protocols that guarantee that Premier have protected fixtures on a Monday and Thursday, and Championship have priority on all other days, have been rescinded and amended by the BSPA as an exception in the interests of the sport.” As you say, commonsense has Wright and Ostergaard in the North East if the cup final goes ahead next Sunday (it's currently a provisional fixture), but we will have to wait and see!

The rules state the NDLRC takes priority. What will actually happen remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 3 hours ago, leander said: Wolverhampton moved there meeting from today to next Sunday partly because of rider availability. By the regulations Championship teams get priority on a Sunday. One would hope the relevant authorities stick by that. But don't hold your breath. The wolves meeting is essentially a nothing fixture (supporters cup, already won by Swindon I believe). Like they did with Stevie Worrall? I wouldn't trust any rules, as they seem to be able to change them at a drop of a hat (in the interest of the sport, of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Ben Morley missed a match at Peterborough for Lakeside last year to ride in the NLRC, wasnt it Josh Pickering that guested to score around 8pts when Morley got zero on his previous visit to the showground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 It also has to be remembered that if rain forces the postponement of Glasgow or Leicester rounds of Championship final the restaging date is Sunday which then also rules Nicholls,Proctor and Douglas out of the Wolves fixture and Perks,Bickley,Bailey and Lawlor out of National League final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track was still soacked down to the base before the heavy rain fell today so it would've been very difficult to run a meeting tomorrow fit for racing,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I therefore assume that the meeting will be packed with riders who usually grace the GP's, SEC or Polish top divisions as if not, you ask the question, why was this meeting not staged during the summer when we had great weather and no fixtures?
