topaz325 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Wouldn't be too happy if I was a fan of another team in the play offs but this is British Speedway and riders turn out for all and sundry during the season so why not now anyway its only a game.

Belle Vue have a rider out and have replace with another rider that has a lower average really is as simple as that. Speedway is such a simple concept made complicated by to many rules 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rulebook can be ambiguous - in this case I wouldn't say it was. The cut-off deadline is quite clear, while any reference to long-term injuries as in regards to how many times you can make changes within the transfer window. Belle Vue Speedway are a credit to the sport, while Robert Lambert is a terrific rider, but there's a rulebook to be followed. This is the equivalent of Man City signing Messi just for the Champions League final and makes speedway look stupid. And all promotions would've sat at the AGM and agreed that this is what was meant by by the regulation and signed it off including Belle Vue The fact that some lawyer has perhaps found a loophole in how it is drafted doesn't change the intention The other factor could be cost - had the BSPL contested how many thousands more would've been drained from the sport given Belle Vues decision to "go legal" Perhaps the monetary cost even to be successful in defending the decision just couldn't be justified Shame on Belle Vue (and may every plague on biblical proportions befall you ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with British speedway changing the rules all the time when it suits Wolves won't have a leg to stand on. They did exactly the same thing in 2016 with Woffinden.

Whose lawyer was it? Discovery Sports Events?! At least when Poole brought Greg Hancock in in 2013 it was early August before the cut-off!!

Let's see if he sticks around for next season. I hope Belle Vue have someone to put his bikes in his van for him...... Not a chance in hell.

arnieg Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 1 hour ago, PhilTheAce said: Thing is. Belle Vue not broke any rules. A good lawyer proved that this weekend I am unaware of any legal judgement to that effect. BV simply threatened legal action and the BSPL caved in. That said it shouldn't be difficult for a decent lawyer to run rings round the BSPL even when they are on solid ground (as I believe they are in this case).
