"British speedway isn't run like that" would be the correct statement. In football comparison, we (British speedway) are probably kicking around the Vanarama national League level of international speedway. If Complin isn't on the shopping list for Berwick 2024 after his performances there this year then there's some cages needing rattled. Yes true, i meant to say in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just turning into a grumpy old man But I care about British speedway and hate seeing it going down the pan by its own doing. I'm with you on the home tac subs one and some of the ruling of guests (though it is a big can of worms to sort out!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 1 hour ago, mikebv said: A perfect summation of why you cannot take it seriously... Why would "Ablitt" be the only alternative? Is it because there is an "Ablitt Rule" for guest riding, similar to the "Bomber Rule" that seems to be in place for Heat Leaders in Div 1 and 2?... Not the only alternative, but currently the best of the 2 pointers (2.13) and is familiar with most of the Pirates from last season, for the continuing team spirit!

spin king junior Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) For all the whinging about Complin guesting for Poole, there has been very little solution been given, and the majority of solutions given being an absolute load of crap. At the end of the day riders are for the most part paid for points, and at this level it isn't always the best paid job. So if Lee can earn some extra money taking a guest booking, then I can't see the problem? And its hardly something new, guests have always been part and parcel to speedway, a necessary for a dangerous sport where injuries arise. The way I see it is Poole shouldn't be punished for a rider getting injured, so the suggestion that they should have to field a lesser averaged rider because they're at reserve is ludicrous. And if a rider can earn extra money, they should also be allowed to. Edited August 6, 2023 by spin king junior 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick's reserve pairings have scored 7,8,11,8,12 in their last 5 home meetings Last night they got 2. Complins last 3 meetings (championship) at Berwick he's scored 6,8 and 4. He's on a 3.61 Average. May not be "anything special" but he he seems to get round Berwick very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The added 'plus' apart from him being 'local' was his average was the best available to guest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even went to court and was decided upon by an independant judge, which shows that the BSPL are so inco petentbthat they don't even know their own rules. That just shows because of the wording of the rule it was allowed which i think someone said has now been changed. The rule book has so many holes in it and ambiguity its crazy. No wonder a lawyer didnt have any problem getting it allowed but to allow a replacement just for the play offs is wrong and Lambert didnt ride at Ipswich they had a guest .
