hagonshocker Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 So does the 7 day ruling no longer apply?? If not feel rather cheated by this draft replacement cover system as we lose the services of Worrall due to a challenge meeting and end up with a less than adequate replacement and Belle Vue are able to replace Ben Reade with a rider of higer standing ability wise and who rode last week for Coventry scoring plenty in the process....madness....and in any case what are the rules r.e on who is allowed to come in is it a rider already in the draft who has been chosen to ride fulltime or someone on the back up list?....or both???

LagutaRacingFan Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 BV will win tonight, No way do Swindon stand a chance. Zagar, Cook and Nicholls will all score 10+ tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure on the 7 day rule and whether it applies to draft riders. Regarding replacements for a missing draft rider, it is any rider on the full draft list who falls underneath the draft position of the missing rider. That can be any of those that did not get picked in the draft but were available, or anyone else on the draft providing their draft 'ranking' is below the missing rider.

John Leslie Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Unsure on the 7 day rule and whether it applies to draft riders.The 8 day rule applies to all riders, so once Sarjeant guests for Belle Vue tonight he can't guest for anyone else at Swindon in the next 8 days (although he could technically guest for the Swindon No.1). A team can also only use a draft rider as a guest 4 times in one season, so Sarjeant could only take another 3 guest bookings for Belle Vue this year.

If the 8 day rule applies then should he be booked by Belle Vue in the first place?

Sarjeant rode for Coventry at Swindon last ThursdaySarjeant is in the Coventry team. He wasn't guesting. Had he been guesting last week, then he couldn't guest again tonight, and Coventry would only be able to use him another 3 times as a guest.

SteveLyric2 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well I hope Cookie hasn't woken up this morning with anything more than a few minor aches and pains. He took one helluva crash guesting at Poole last night!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueboy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 After last week's surprise showing of 'Singing in the Rain' at The Abbey I am very much looking forward to the start of the speedway season. Good to see young Matej as he is always good value. Nicholls will be competitive and Cook will give good support. Looking for Worrall junior to be the difference between the 2 sides. A Robins win by 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Tonight is a prime example why quite a few think BV will not make the playoffs. Very poor show from Zagar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Poor from Zagar. The Aces gave little fight. They will need to pick up some away points if they are going to be a threat this year. Still think they are strong for top 4 tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
