But not at the expense of the rules if that is indeed the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is though that other countries dont need a plethora of regs and sub regs around uniquely quirks of the UK, eg guesting.. Who can guest? When can they guest? Do they get a five percent allowance? Etc.. Most other countries run their Speedway like other "proper sports" run theirs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I have never seen a rule book from any other country so I can't comment on them. Personally here in the UK in my opinion the team anyone starts with should be the one they finish with,barring injuries of course.This would do away with quite a few rules to start with that aren't needed anyway.We don't currently have enough money in the UK to run squads,although we have no8's now that can replace the no7's.I would still have R/R or guests for your top 5 in any team that has injuries because they still need to remain a little competitive.Or obviously they can sign someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 50/50 on this point and I used to be of the same opinion. Puts more emphasis on getting your team building right from the get go, and also stops a team strengthening up to make a late surge to pip another team to the title who got their team building spot on during the winter. This has happened numerous times and can be so frustrating for the team that gets done late on. But on the other hand from a business point of view, this is a lot of the promoters sole income and is their livelihood. We all know that a poorly performing team can have a big impact on gate receipts. Shouldn’t a promoter be allowed to try and improve a poorly performing team to try and get a few more punters back through the gate? It’s a difficult one.

There are lots of things that mean you can't take UK League Speedway seriously... And only allowing you to keep your initial team would definitely be another one of them if that was the rule.. Especially in UK Speedway where any adhoc "one night only" team can be put together which is far and away different from the septet registered at the start of the year. A septet who could all return the night later after the wholesale changes the night before.. The very essence of sport is to improve yourself so being allowed to change your team as and when you need to is fundamental to that... All sports change personnel during the year, even the successful teams, to ensure they keep competitive.. Unfortunately, as usual, Speedway has made the transfer window rule less than clear which then leads to confusion and conspiracy theories.. Does the League Cup count? (It is a League then a Cup).. Is it 25% to 75% of all meetings? Or is it 25% to 75% of an individual clubs' meetings? Depending on your schedule/rain offs that could be significant.. Overall though it is a good idea, as clubs who struggle are bad for the overall business and brand, so the more competitive every team is, then the better the product is to sell..

Have you read the rules? K.Lynn are allowed a facility as Kildemand isn't coming. Did Belle Vue declare their 1-7 before the start of the season?Lemon's incompetence of not being able to do this is now being rewarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
