Because he only rode 4 matches in 2019 (17 rides 21 points) Add these to his 2021 scores (10m, 49 rides, 96 pts) And you get his current GSA 66 rides 117 pts = 7.09

A rule that was introduced to much approval on here, until fans discovered it wasn't always being interpreted in favour of their team. There then followed much whinging and promoters responded by getting rid of the rule.

You are wrong. His latest greensheet includes 10 matches from this season and 4 from 2019.

His average isn't really that inflated, because part of it still comes from 2019 fixtures.

Personally if he's in doubt I'd go with r/r or if I had to use a guest Paul Starke

IRR only available for a 'fresh' injury, so he'd also have to contrive a soft fall.

In fact the only one to have them in the top 3 (although Flappy did at least consider it a possibility.)

As you were saying. Well I suppose 1 out of 2 is a fair result.

Well you weren't wrong I suppose.

Last chance saloon now: Etheridge in ht 13 Brennan in 11 &14

Absolutely

Andersen - guests allowed up to 8.78 Bjarne 8.69. Looks like he fits to me

Unless he guests for Hans Andersen at Leicester (or one of the riders still involved in the Championship play-off is injured tonight and he guests for them)

Finely balanced. Definitely going to the second leg. Oh wait a minute I've got tickets and hotel booked for Manchester.

Not if he's guesting for home number 1

And people seem to forget that it has always had a few more experienced riders floating around - I give you young Rob Hollingworth and Czechoslovakkian world finalist Vaclav Verner. PS Scott Nicholls career started in the second tier.

As a rule of thumb the rule book takes precedence over announcements by Jason Pipe. Of course it would help if I was looking at the correct rulebook. I've just spotted this in the SUPPLEMENTARY regulations: 013.6 NDL Facilities - page 122 DELETE THIS SECTION ADD – i. A guest is permitted for a missing number 1 rider. ii. A missing rider, 2 to 5 by MA, either RR or an unattached rider. iii. A missing Reserve Rider, 6 & 7 by MA, an unattached rider. If a rider is representing their FMN in an FIM / FIME Championship, irrespective of the riders MA, a choice of G or RR facility is available at the Team Managers discretion. My sincere apologies, I genuinely thought I was right on this one, but I was WRONG.

Kinsley is riding for Redcar, and a guest is allowed. 13.6A couldn't be clearer, a guest is allowed.

I've already quoted the regulation Furthermore how do you think Morley guests for Kinsley if it isn't the case?

Some promoters and fans (including members of this forum) complained that no facility (which meant an NL rider effectively with a 3 pt average) unfairly penalised their teams so the 'non-guest guest' rule was slipped into the rulebook a couple of years ago (with I think little fanfare) On the matter of Adam Ellis' "illness" I think that unless someone can demonstrate with a degree of certainty that Rob Godfrey claimed he was ill then I think it is time to move on.

You are overlooking the fact that a guest can ALWAYS be used for a rider absent 9n Championship duty. (Hence Morley guesting for Kinsley)

So with a heat leader trio of Danno, Luke Harris, and r/r bet tomorrow's gonna be a close fought affair - NOT

Yesterday, when I posted this it was a flippant suggestion. Now it appears to be a genuine proposal from the clubs involved.

Tellement vrai, tellement vrai
