Scunthorpe V Workington - Tuesday, April 30th (premier League) (7.30pm) Live On Sky Sports


Recommended Posts

Craig Cook just posted on Twitter he has another guest booking coming up could this be it? If Cook rides instead of Lawson the Scorpions could be in trouble. Saying that can Cook ride with Edinburgh at the race way 6 days after this meeting?

 

Edit: Cook is in for Lawson

Makes Worky much stronger,Lawson and MIlls have been s h y t e at the EWR where as Cookie and Dyer have been excellent,not sure how Cookie can guest due to 7 day rule but must be ok

page 10 rule 117/a sub section/3 paragraph/ 2 subsection12 .you will find it somewhere,who said our sport was Mickey Mouse :D .Think Dyer is gauranteed a League winners medal this year given the number of Teams he is going to ride for :wink: Edited by Fromafar

Speedway must be the only sport in the world where you can get injuries and (sometimes) end up stronger.

for those of us without the rule book on hand , what is the outcome of the guest rule.

Unless it's change the 7 day rule doesn't count for your number 1 and I think the top averaged reserve

I think he is ok to ride

 

To be fair all teams at some point benefit from having the chance to use better riders through injury and over the course of the season they even themselves out

 

Will make it possibly a closer better meeting which is good really,Sky want entertainment and i hope they get it

That's not exactly it. The 8-day rule doesn't apply to no. 1's at home. But also, the 8-day rule only applies to 2 guest bookings within the period, appearances with your own team don't count. That's a change this season, and a welcome one.

but what is the options if you cant use guest??? riders get injured and without going for a retained squad system[effin expensive] guests are the only way

You have your opinion and I respect what you say but IMO the sport has been allowed to develope this way and that too me have been its downfall.You get to the end of the season and guests are helping teams that may hamper their own teams chances whats the point in that? I am afraid I just cant take the sport seriously anymore . I like to see a good meeting irrepective of the result but even they are getting few and far between these days.I think you are lucky at Scunthorpe as you seem to have a decent track and see better meetings than most.I certainly enjoyed my visit last year.

The guest system is not ideal but the question still remains un answered?

All the alternatives are either unworkable, or the fans would be further outraged with poor standin riders. Guests are a necessity.

Guest are better than number 8's and a much better alternative to 4-5-6 men teams turning up..Since ive watched the sport guest have been the norm and sometimes they add something to the meeting as there usually better than the riders they replace. I dont mind them as much as others and i dont mind rubbish facilities at tracks either to me its about 4 riders racing on a well prepared track id watch it in a field miles from a toilet if thats how it had to be. Guests have to stay as riders get injured rider squad systems wouldnt work over here and anyway we never hear the riders complain do we cause they know thats how it has to be.

 

Oh and forgot to say this meetings gonna be a stormer cant wait hope all the riders stay safe and entertain.
