That’s the the thing though it is against the rules, trouble is the rules are written so badly they can be exploited at will. Strange how we were refused permission to use Tai when Freddy and Jacob got injured in the 2017 semi final. Then again, I doubt we threatened legal action over it.

Greg was running out of meetings in Poland and Sweden but still had five or six GPs left so was happy to keep match fit. It wasn’t originally known if he’d stay for the play offs - it wasn’t guaranteed when he signed that Poole would even make the play offs - but he chose to stay till the end of the season. He worked hard for and with the team, and helped Poole to the title against a very dominant Birmingham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how we were refused permission to use Tai when Freddy and Jacob got injured in the 2017 semi final. Then again, I doubt we threatened legal action over it. It would have been pointless as the long term injury rule wasn’t in place then just the old August - no team changes rule. Ridiculous oversight that made the final a sorry none event. Glad they changed it, for all concerned in the spirit of fair play. The only problem we have now is all other teams will be feigning injuries to bolster their teams at play off time. As in the past they will produce dodgy sick notes whilst these injured riders compete abroad. Belle Vue have suffered other teams doing that to them on many occasions. Maybe we could get an outside source to monitor this. Bent BSPL/BSF would never stand for that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad they created the Tai rule back in the day but even that was poorly written as it failed to take into account long term injuries. That had a devastating effect on the Wolves team, sadly. This might be at odds on here and at BSPL towers but we should all want fair play and for teams to adequately cover for hospitalised team members. That’s my desire but I’ll don my tin hat and await the BSF jeers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 When Tai came back it got me to attend to watch him... And a few others I met up with who didint go regularly, and still dont... Didn't care who won, as it doesnt really matter does it? But it was great to watch genuine world class talent on a Speedway bike.. Similar to when Hancock came back and similar to watching young Robert Lambert.. Sit back, put your feet up, open up a cold one, and watch true talent... Not a bad way to spend an evening... If my lad hasnt got a game we will go to the final, again with a fair few lapsed/ex fans... Hopefully 2 GP stars there. Should be good..

The craven was full that holds about 200 about 600 in south stand last night at a gues. Easily over 1500 there but still small for a semi My ticket number for south stand was over 1000 Phil.

Depends if you want to stand or sit, I suspect prices will be £2 higher for final when they released after Thursday meeting. https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/admission Parking is £3, two car parks, one must be pre booked and other is pay on gate.
