Swindon - Belle Vue 10th April


Recommended Posts

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???

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.

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 Thursday

Sarjeant 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.

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. :P

 

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.
