Probably because it was all agreed at the pre-AGM 'Zoom' meeting to allow clubs to begin to formulate their teams (without Rising Stars?!) but will not be confirmed or 'rubber-stamped' and announced until the one-day AGM later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 If it’s no rising stars next season then it looks like it’s been shunted into the long grass to accommodate the riders who will lose team places where clubs have folded.

How about, crazy concept i know, having competition for team places. The best / best value riders get team places and the others don't. During the season there will be changes and opportunities for those who are still interested and the sport gets to use the best possible riders available rather than the all inclusive that does nothing but lower the standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) good / BAD /UGLY I sent an email to the BSPL yesterday asking why a Premier club have reported to have signed 3 riders but are waiting for the AGM to see what actually are the league / points limit situation is ? so as to be able to sign the remaining riders then. But a Championship club reported yesterday they have signed 5 riders straight off, no waiting for AGM?. I asked "was it fair ?" that certain teams could sign who they liked and when they liked and other teams are actually waiting for official information from the League Meeting. I Got an email back same day , because i said i was a Brum fan and worried he said he hoped Brum will carry on.. but no answer from Mr Vatcher about my original question!. I thought it a fair question to ask. Edited November 10, 2021 by Bluenose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it a fair question to ask. Bit of a silly question really. Some clubs are happy to go on what has been previously discussed and will have to make changes to those last 2 riders if the points limit changes at the AGM. It has absolutely nothing to do with the BSPL. On another note, neither does Vatcher, it seems you've emailed the SCB not BSPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty obvious that the “Rising Stars” and averages would lead to complications regarding Team Building and points Limit.We shall have to wait and see what’s decided.( obviously Promoters know ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Formed originally in 1948, under the authority of the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) the SCB was known as the Speedway Control Board, a title that stood until 2003.At that time, the RAC, through it’s subsidiary, the Motor Sports Association (MSA) relinquished their involvement and the Auto-Cycle Union, which was formed in 1903 had the sole responsibility in Great Britain for 2-wheeled motor sport.Subsequently the SCB was re-named as the Speedway Control Bureau and is authorised by the Auto Cycle Union to act as the recognised Governing Body for Speedway racing in Great Britain.Accordingly, each season the SCB produces a Rule Book entitled The Speedway Regulations, that covers all the rules applicable to the sport in Great Britain. It is available in booklet form at a small cost from the SCB Office or as a free download from the SCB Website www.scbgb.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Most clubs will have at least 4/5 riders already signed or agreed to sign they just don’t announce anything until they decide to announce them and most things will have been discussed in principle for team building rules over last few weeks but will be rubber stamped at the AGM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Lion Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 There are more deals that are complete already then announced to i suggest upto 75% of Championship team spots are already agreed I.E Leicester have all 7 riders signed & within the 42.00 limit . It happens every year & this year is no different . All the league promotors get together & agree a limit . Which is then passed at the AGM . That’s how teams can sign riders before the AGM. Nobody gains an advantage by it because all clubs know what the agreed limit is so it’s up to clubs if they wait until AGM. The only grey area over 2022 is the rising star grading’s. Riders who are to come off , riders to be added on & riders to be moved up & down the ratings . I am informed SCB are issuing this to clubs by the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hope they are not sticking to the 2 riding stars per team plan. While it's ok in theory there are not enough riders of the required ability to fill these spots. Even if they do initially fill these spots the problem then arises of finding replacement rising stars for injured riders or those that may quit.

lbw Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Looking forward to the Poole vs Leicester battles again especially as me mates are Lions fans! Costa Long Eaton on Monday afternoon had a hot chocolate Lion vs a flat white Pirate in the Battle of El Muffin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted November 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Morris is confirmed as signing number 2. Happy to have him back despite being off the pace in the playoffs for both Leicester and wolves. Wonder if he will be our number 1 or if Dickson has someone else in mind.

LionsFan Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Morris is a good signing, just needs to find a little more consistency as he and Dickson realise. So assuming Howarth is coming back, along with the twins and the rumours about Etheridge are true, how much does that leave us for the remaining remaining rider? Would Steve Worrall fit?

Your guess is as good as mine! Howarth for sure and Dan/Joe. I reckon we will get a surprise. Aaron summers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
