Maybe that was scrapped when Peter left the scene many years ago, you should know better than anyone how Speedway rules are made up.Back Fag packet,with A4 sheet for changes when certain promotions feel like it.

Is that not the rule that can be overturned by the Management Committee "in the interest of speedway"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually in their 1-7 in 2019, so technically wasn't in the team the "previous" year! Edited June 27, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be their only Brit Craig Cook We had hoped to have had more Brits in the team and thought about Adam Ellis but he was born in France. We wondered if Mark Loram could be persuaded to make a comeback but he was born in Malta. Meanwhile we were keen to welcome back Connor Bailey as he was not only an up and coming rider but also a decent personable young man. He was signed for last year and was on the BSPL rising star list for 2021. Unfortunately he was prevented initially from returning to the UK due to the Covid pandemic. So alls well that ends well. Welcome back Connor. Edited June 28, 2021 by SharpenRake 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
