You're correct in this bit that Poole are hosting this meeting. (It's not a shared event like the NDLRC is). It's clear in the regulations sent to the NDL clubs that this is not the NDLRC and is not a shared event. It is a Poole promoted meeting to meet the obligation that all clubs have to either run NDL, a programme of second halves, or a meeting in this series. The regulations sent out to competitors say the meeting is as per SR 013.2 The 6 NDL clubs have been asked to nominate 2 riders each, with Poole as hosts of this round choosing the 4 wildcards. This will be the same for every round. Poole are being naughty by trying to devalue the other rounds and claiming this to be more important than the others. The SCB should step in and clarify to fans that this is only one Development Series round, just like the one at Leicester etc. But we know that the SCB don't really care about the National League, so they'll keep quiet and let people continue to be confused.

People in glass houses.....

Where else do you want Poole to hold the Poole round? Poole will presumably choose 4 southern riders as the wild cards, When Leicester stage their round, they'll probably pick 4 Leicester riders as wildcards, when Redcar stage their round they'll pick 4 Northern Middlesbrough riders as the wildcards, and the same at any other rounds.

Lawson's riding on Thursday. Brennan guest for Musielak

Pardon me if I believe the referee who had to tell him the rule, and not you.

He does now. Shame the ref had to tell him.

Believe what you want. That's what happened.

He phoned the referee complaining about the 2 minute disqualification. He didn't know the new rule with the clock and needing to be ready to race at the end of the 2 minutes. Referee had to tell him the new rule!

Answers on a postcard to :- "??? What the pig ???? bells in ??? trousers is this supposed to say????"

That video needs to be shared far and wide to show that this scumbag wants to destroy a community sporting facility that has been there for over 50 years, in favour of building houses to line his own pockets. And he calls the people who want to stop him "selfish"

Absolute scumbag.

10% or less chance of rain all day in Owlerton from 6am tomorrow

Suppose that depends on your definition of "Chemist". Walter White was a chemist.

You've got to wonder what the 2 stand-ins with a combined age of 75 offered in this meeting.

All except one....

Think you're confusing me with Szkocjasid. He's the one who pointed out you were wrong. I was just explaining why you were wrong. Alas, you still don't seem to understand the rules.

It's a 3.00 unattached rider But in the higher leagues a guest up to 75% of the missing rider is allowed for a "no facility"

I presume he was booked for Monday before last night's crash.

I believe Josh Pickering and Richard Lawson are booked as guests, so Buster must intend turning up for this one.

You're betting on a team breaking the rules?

From the laws of Football: "A person can be sent off from the time the referee goes onto the pitch for the pre-match inspection until the referee leaves the pitch after the end of the game, including during half-time, the break before extra time, extra time, half-time of extra time and penalties." So pretty much the same as speedway where the referee takes charge from the moment he arrives. The referee was within his rights to exclude Complin from the meeting

Surely football's equivalent of being excluded from a speedway meeting is a red card? So yes, a football team would be forced to play with 10 players. They could make a substitution to change formation, but they'd still only have 10 players. Just the same as Glasgow could cover Complin's rides with a reserve, whilst still only having 6 riders.

Reading the press release and believing the press release are very different things....

Jake Mulford replaces Archie Freeman, with Elliot Kelly kicked out to make the averages fit. Middlesbrough needing another 3.00 rider now.

Any news how Craig Cook is with his injury? Looks like Workington used IRR, so he must've been signed out of the meeting injured?
