Peterborough V Rye House 18 March Challenge


Recommended Posts

I don't understand this - I know he is already in NZ for the first GP but thats not until April so can someone explain the reason for R/R please. :neutral:

My understanding is as he spends the winter in NZ, staying until after GP. I can understand that but still no need for R/R surely.

Cost of return flights would be prohibitive, not to mention the distance travelled for a few early season meetings. The alternative to RR would be a guest on a very low average which would put the Rockets at a huge disadvantage.

Thanks for replies to my post but I think this is down to Jason's personal choice - Ward, Batchelor, Holder(not this season but in previous) could claim similar circumstances but they are over here and then have to return to the southern hemisphere for this first GP.

 

I feel it would be much better for Rye House to have a guest up to Jason's average instead of R/R(and I am no fan of guests particularly) - this is the two clubs first meeting of the new season and it would be good to witness it with 14 riders rather than 13 in my opinion. Before anyone accuses me of bias (as a Panthers fan) I can assure you I would be saying the same if Jason was a member of our team.

R/R contrary to rule 16.5.3 but from my information the SCB have approved R/R for this and other matches until he returns from NZ.

 

Yet another classic example of rules being ignored when it suits.

To be fair we have accommodated Peterborough in making this the League Cup meeting as you will be missing riders on the original date for the cup fixture. These things work both ways.

Work both ways, yeah right.

So If Bunyan is staying In New Zealand does this mean the likes of Batch and Ward have stayed in Oz ? If so would /Swindon Poole be entitled to R/R or a guest ?

Poole would be entitled to anything they want, Swindon would get no facility

Nothing against RH or Bunyan, can understand his situation. Unlike Ward and Oik he doesn't need to prepare for Poland and Sweden etc... but I do get fed up with how few meetings consist of full line ups. R/R and guests will be in abundance this season. 👎

Seems like a common sense stance given the reasons are quite desirable for speedway in general. Some would be pedantic and chastise the application of a sensible and logical decision, but I know you are not one of them. :P

15 heats into the new season it's good to see loyal Panther stalker supporting his /her team in the usual way , nothing ever changes .
