jimmy jimmy Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Think this criticism of Hayley Bromley is way off the mark, I think she does an excellent job as presenter. Also women in speedway should be encouraged not mocked 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be quite difficult doing a job like that but she was growing into it nicely. Leave her alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating that nobody seems to have complained about Sheffield and Ipswich exploiting the same Regulation. It certainly was of benefit to the Tigers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not be allowed to change your team mid playoffs. Edited January 28, 2023 by foreverblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to bring a new signing replacement mid play offs wasn’t in the rule book neither otherwise many teams before them would have used that particular rule (now known as the Belle Vue only rule) not that it ever was a rule which was pretty obvious.

The article in the Speedway Star mentioned transfer windows - it made no mention at all of the Regulation containing the Long Term Injury statement.

You should not be allowed to change your team mid playoffs. Max Fricke was injured! Why do the whingers keep making it sound as though BV made a tactical change? They had suffered in the play-offs before when losing a rider, and this time they were able to bring in a replacement, within the Regulations. Of course, no-one would batted an eyelid if the Aces had been forced to use a guest or R/R and Sheffield had waltzed to victory ... "Unlucky Aces, play-offs injury curse strikes again", etc. As it was, the Regulations allowed the change because of the specific circumstances of Fricke's absence. In reality, Sheffield lost because of Holder's awful performance (and, to a lesser extent, Howarth's erratic riding) at Belle Vue. But that's speedway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you quote the regulation regarding long term injury replacement? in my opinion you should not be allowed a change during the play offs.

If you mean the regulation about the transfer window exception in the event of "Proven long-term injury" then it's the last paragraph of SR 012.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
