Does that mean he is (technically) withholding his services? The season doesn't officially end until 31st October and he's booked his flights before that date? What are the rules regarding this situation?
-
Just "this season"??

Not now I've read it properly, no !! -
He's replacing the #1, so it's OK: 011.4.2 Guest Rider (G) b) a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team

Are you confusing the night when Ben Powell, riding for Scunthorpe, aimed his bike (after the race) at Newcastle's Kenni Larsen (after Powell had dismounted it)?

I( used to love my trips to Buxton when Newcastle Gems were there. Good luck to them.

For those who haven't seen it:

Who'd of thought it? In October as well? It might be "pie in the sky" but for 2026 how about - BSN Final by end of July - KOC Final by the end of August - League meetings complete by end of August - Play-off Semi's and Final in September.

That, of course, depends on how many riders will be in the teams!! Some have suggested five riders per team, with many others saying six. It doesn't necessarily have to be seven man teams. It went down to six per team in 1997 (but soon went back to seven!!).

The fixture congestion has very little to do with the Play-offs (IMO), it has all to do with the gaps in the fixtures from May-August. Fill those gaps when racing can take place and you get rid of the congestion in September/October when the weather is a damn site more "iffy" than May-August. BTW, I don't like the Play-offs either. I also don't like Semi Finals and a Final in an individual meeting either. Top of the League/Top Scorer after 20 heats should be crowned Champion in my book. But (sadly) Play-offs are here to stay.

The Championship doesn't have a "TV deal" as such, so no need for Play-offs 😛🤣
