Phil The Ace Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 In a situation like this, say Belle Vue are in need of a guest for their injured rider Lee Payne, and bearing in mind they have just change him in the FTR arrangement, cant they get a guest for the rating of Ben Reade or has it now got to be governed by Lee Payne standing??????? We can only get a guest for whoever is in our officially declared 1-7. Which Payne is meaning we only can have a choice of 2 guest's (matt williamson or freemantle) It's just one of them unfortunate risks that has backfired on us. Hopefully Payne will be fully fit soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 So if Williamson and Freemantle weren't available they would have to go with just one Reserve ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 So if Williamson and Freemantle weren't available they would have to go with just one Reserve ? This is one of the areas where the FTR system fails. Probably, there could be, or could've been, a pool of 5/6 riders, all of equal ability, free to guest in situations like this. It seem lack of thought means teams like BV have little choice who to pick, and that can't be right......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 No, you can have a guest for anyone in the 1-5 this year Indeed, plus you can have guests for any 1-7 member this year, and no need to declare any of them either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 What's the weather expected tomorrow. Have thought about going, but am worried about the prevailing rain. Would there be a inspection or a early call-off if necessary .? What's the forecast like up there ? Please.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Been some heavy showers over the weekend but today wasn't as bad as expected, there was some sunshine inbetween the showers and has been a strong wind. Depends what it is like during the night, don't think it will take too much more rain. Tomorrow forecast is better but with the chance of some showers.

Phil The Ace Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 We have had no rain for 4 hours. So why was it not called off at 9 this morning after the rain or wait till later on as riders are already flying now. Unless we had to wait for a bspa official to call it off which we didn't for swindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 There was some heavy rain showers yesterday and some more in early hours but this morning been ok. If track was bad should have called it off first thing this morning before riders started flying in. Last thing we needed as I can see us struggling to fit in home meetings before the cut off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
