I don’t know but as we are 2 points under the limit we can fit him in ironically Ben has lost a fair bit of weight over the winter and is riding extremely well so far this season !!!!!

Baldyman Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I mentioned Barker to someone this morning. Has to be an improvement on most of the away tracks,, and at least as good at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Nico Covatti (and before someone says he has said NO to the UK) he is still racing this year and if a PL contract was offered you can be sure he would get a CL spot also Failing that would Woffy fit and only do home meetings and BV away?

Riders available potentially following the demise of Vetlanda in the Swedish League :- Piotr Pawlicki Aleksander Loktaev Pawel Przedpelski Rune Holta (Poland) although it is believed Przedpelski is set to join Vastervik to replace unavailable Artem Laguta.

ipswichwitches Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'm guessing that regulation 012.3 would prevent any immediate team changes. A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury. Not sure if it's 25% of a teams fixtures or 25% of all league fixtures. if it's a team's fixtures, then our 5th fixture is Thursday 2nd June at home to Kings Lynn. If it's 25% of all fixtures, then it could be any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be from one date to another,, that way all teams have the same chance to makes changes,,, not fair one one or more teams that happen to be behind in their fixtures to to rain offs for example Edited April 20, 2022 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as Baldyman's point about the 25%, what does "changes to the team on 2 occasions" mean: 2 single rider swaps or 2 changes involving any number of riders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 i would believe that team changes are allowed before the league season starts then there is a window between 25% fixtures and 75% of fixtures completed Look at Belle Vue and the side they have declared for the league cup, whether or not they are using the term short term contract for Jake, they have a rider coming in to start the league campaign They have not declared Zagar in the side and using Jake as a guest, so changes must be allowable before league racing starts as there are no contracts in British Speedway right? any rider can get the chop at any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely but they have not declared him in their 1-7 at the start of the season - all they have done is announced Jake on a short-term deal So if they are allowed to bring in Zagar for the start of the league season, then other teams should be allowed to make team changes before the start of the league campaign If not, then Belle Vue should be completing the first 25% of fixtures with the current lineup and only bring in Zagar after 5 league meetings have been raced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
