If you mean Kai Ward, Mickie Simpson and Dayle Wood, they're all in 1-7s of other teams. So try again. Who are you saying would have been better than Sam Woods?

Not even one of those occasions where the rules are ambiguous. The rule is very clear: SR11.4 "If riding at #7 a guest from the Rising Star list must be used, their MA must be lower or equivalent to the missing rider. The Rising Star guest must not be in a current Premiership 1-7."

Easier said than done. There just isn't a supply of riders around. With hindsight Sam Woods worked out badly, but before the meeting he was potentially the best option.

Edwards can't guest as Rising Star for Hagon. Edwards is in a premiership 1-7 which makes him ineligible.

Boughen going brilliantly, with 13 from 5 rides, but Harrison struggling with only 4 from 5 rides (including 2 against the way outclassed Urkainians). If only Boughen had some support. Vatcher seems to have forgotten he has 3 riders.

Sayfutdinov guesting for Kurtz would boost the crowd more than the Leicester team will.

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.
