Hamish McRaker Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 So, who is on Rob Godfrey's list of 16 riders who should be first in line to be offered Championship team places, should vacancies arise this winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebaker Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Would of thought Nathan Greaves is on the list. Overlooked by Championship for 2020. Was included in the Dale Devils National League Squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 He Can’t force teams to pick riders he thinks deserve a place who’s to say other clubs feel the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree,it’s a bit of a silly statement from Godfrey.He has no control over Clubs terms and conditions regarding signing riders.Riders averages would also have to be taken into consideration.Just a nonsense statement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 typical Godders , he and trump would make a great team in speedway management . one could finance it and the other could run it into the ground . you choose who the manager is and who is the clout behind the club . . enjoy it while you can , it will be bankrupt in a few years . 2022 restart ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may ,but they can’t make teams sign riders they can’t agree Terms with.They could ban all Foreigners then watch all hell let loose!!! They couldn’t run a raffle.IMO .It’s all about self interest. Edited November 8, 2020 by Fromafar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 1 hour ago, NeilWatson said: The forthcoming AGM may introduce new team-building rules and procedures.... All the pronouncements have been about same 1 to 7s. Would not put it past some to have been busy assembling new teams to reduced limits to suit themselves in the slightest. Don't have to be Einstein to work out which teams will be in on the secret. Lower team average would mean MORE riders out of a job, not less. A crazy prospect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Can't believe everything won't be the same as this year points wise etc. Teams who want the same team can, those who don't or can't know the limit now.... But this is the BSPA!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 It has been said that the promoters have been having Zoom time meetings during the covid19 situation so I would surmise that all would have had some input in these discussions. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.38468 Have some of you actually read the statement? It says that there could be team changes! We know Leicester COULD be making a change because of the situation with Perks sponsors. It also says it is his OPINION so not a rule or regulation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was MY opinion you could knock it all you want ,but when the people like Godfrey give these kind of thoughts it doesn’t give much hope for thE Sport.

Leicester Hunter Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 9 hours ago, Fromafar said: They may ,but they can’t make teams sign riders they can’t agree Terms with. Yep, It was a situation like such as this that finally saw the demise of Rider Control at the end of 1976. This lot clearly don't do history...

Teromaafan Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Ah...Rider Control. I was only a school boy at the time, but couldn't get my head around Dave Jessup (who would go on to be a whisker away from being world champion) going to Reading from Leicester, with Reidar Eide joining the Lions (from Newport?) for the 1976 season. I understood that this was associated with Rider Control. I don't know what the respective averages were, but even as a kid I thought we had been shafted. 1976 turned out to be most disastrous season I can remember for the Lions.
