In the days of the internet you  can no longer pull the old 'injured riding abroad' trick. We all know what Scott did for Rawicz on Saturday and unless he tripped over a burger in the pits he didn't pick up an injury there. [And there is no suggestion he won't be fit for Oxford tonight]

Although Oxford are switching the riding order with Scotty into the 'easier' number 3 race jacket. Maybe he isn't 100% fit?

I’m just a little confused with the reverting back to original line up part of the rules, don’t you usually have to give 48 hrs to re declare or does reverting back to original line up cancel the need to wait 48 hrs?

If Scott was injured Saturday they would have had to declare Saturday night to be able to convert back?

Not like anyone can really explain the rules as I don’t think even those in charge know. Look how they messed up the Lambert situation for the play offs!

I think you're right. We all want a transparent application of the rules. But how can it be transparent when the rule makers are not sure of how the rules apply in a case such as this.

The overall impression is that there was an ongoing "negotiation" between Wolverhampton and the authorities during Monday. The conclusion that has since been announced referring to a reversion back to Wolves original team declaration may have been decided quite late on after a flurry of phone calls trying to decide what to do.
OR.
Wolves and or the authorities don't understand simple psychology and didn't announce the decision in good time as a result. Thus leaving us, the paying fans, to speculate about this endlessly on forums such as this one.

You decide.

P.S. Issue 4 of the Premiership Team Declarations, stating that Luke Becker was officially back in the Wolves team, is dated 10th April i.e. Monday

I think a lot of the fuss is because Wolves kept the whole thing secret, even after the 12 noon match was cancelled, they still posted a team with Nicholls in for the 8pm match. 1) to me keeping it a secret sound like they have something to hide (i.e breaking rules) 2) why not advertise Harris - might bring more fans through the gate!

Yeah...cant get your head round it ...must be something behide it...Does tbe 28 rule start from scratch  again???

Simple really.

Scott Nichols was not a member of the club but rode for them.

He then joined them but did not ride for them.

Has now left the club but will be back riding for them.

:D

Similar to Becker...

Who signed for them but didint ride for them because he was injured so got released from the team...

However...

When it was realised that the rider who didnt replace him, but rode in place of him, couldnt not, not replace him again, someone else came in for one night only, to not replace him instead..

And this was only allowed because they had brought the rider, who was still injured and still couldnt ride, back into the team to be replaced by the rider(s) who were not replacing him..

Who really cares these days,it’s just a night at the speedway.

And that's a very big part of the problem, very few new attendees not helped by ridiculous rules, bending of the rules, and making it up as you go along all of which simply don't help, another example being the NP situation at P,boro.

Sorry to hear the new guys.

I did say on the Peterborough thread the other day that you will follow us so this doesn't shock me at all, The whole sport in our country is going to collapse within the next two years.

British Speedway has been dying a slow and painful death for years but maybe this year is the final nail in the coffin. 

in the past decade we have lost massive clubs such as Coventry, Swindon, Arena Essex and now Peterborough and Wolves this year. 

I predict one big league next year and then fading out with a whimper.

This is a real blow, so sorry Wolves fans! Being an Arena-Essex fan from the 80s i know what it is like to go through this. I hope you find a new home and don't fold.

Thanks for the memories - two of the very best meetings I have ever seen were at Monmore - one was a Wolves Cradley derby from 1989 (45-45 draw) and the other the Wolves Ipswich playoff semi from a few years back also 45-45 - both great meetings that I have happy memories of!

Not good news at all, Panthers and now Wolves. Maybe track sharing with Brum till a new home could be found.

The chances of that happening are virtually nil, the nearby experience of Cradley tells us that. :(
