orion Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Does he realise that to get from Poole to the other side of Southampton for the airport is on one of the Souths busiest stretches of road, and on a Good Friday? Could be sitting in traffic for hours! Hope Edinburgh have cover in place! Well if that happens are guess he will have to ride in Swindon home leg as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I imagine Edinburgh will be sweating over this one. Cutting it fine if the meeting at Poole take 2 hours and hoping for no traffic and then any delay at the airport and he'll miss the start of the Edinburgh meeting!

Although Glasgow have two NL Guests on Friday so missing Steve won't hopefully hit us too hard if we need cover in the event of delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) best bet for worral is to jump on a train from Poole. It goes straight to the airport. No traffic delays. Seems an extravagance though because who have we got at reserve. Edited April 17, 2014 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 He's flying from Heathrow and well done to Swindon and Worrall for showing commitment to the cause! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Is there anyone going to the Poole leg of the meetings who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number. Thanks Edited April 17, 2014 by crazysue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) He's flying from Heathrow and well done to Swindon and Worrall for showing commitment to the cause! Flights from Heathrow every hour so half four flight should get him in on time. . Edited April 17, 2014 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 More to the point, will Nielsen be fit for the away leg?? If not, who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 More to the point, will Nielsen be fit for the away leg?? If not, who else? Difficult one to call. Disappointing that injury has wrecked out chances of a "Good" Friday but not going to alter much this early in the season. More important that Kyle gets fit ASAP so we have some bite at reserve. What teams are not riding tomorrow night? That will decide who Matt can choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 With the `Elite Shield` at stake as well should give both meetings extra spice and meaning - as if it needed it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically everyone to Garrity.No team should be expected to use a rider at the bottom of the B list to replace an A grade reserve.As for Friday our options are severely limited but I am sure Matt is already on the case. Charles Wright might be available for the morning meeting-unless he`s guesting elsewhere. So it is Charles Wright in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wright should have an absolute field day in the morning. A fit Stefan would do in the evening too with no Worrall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an extravagance though because who have we got at reserve. Easter weekend is not a good day for trains, from my location 5 miles east of Southampton to Poole. Train to Woolston - Bus to Southampton Central - Bus to Bournemouth - Train to Poole. Time - 2+ Hours. Southampton Central is closed all weekend.

hagonshocker Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 How exactly does Charles Wright qualify for the draft?? Was he ever on the list to start with?? If so why wasnt he already picked?...turned it down??...IS he riding tomorrow for Poole?...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he was not included on the draft list to start with, presumably he declined along with the others who have # against their name on the the latest draft list. The riders now added to the draft are only available as guests. He is riding for Poole tomorrow. Edited April 17, 2014 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the draft http://www.speedwaygb.co/14issues/el_issue4.pdf it must be the original but with some riders added-I can only assume that the riders who have GUEST ONLY against their names turned down the opportunity to take up one of the full time positions-this could be for a variety of reasons including getting time of work,to not accepting the pay rates being offered. Finally he guests in the morning for Poole according to their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Another reason the draft was a crap idea James Wright will come out of retirement and join it next.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Somerset fan who is making the trip down, I look forward to him hopefully piling up the points like he has been for Somerset everywhere this year.

Skidder1 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well I hope Nielsen is fit as he is due to ride for BV at 12 noon then motor down to Blunsdon for the 8pm start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
