peterborough daz Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Guests have been used due to necessity, but if we were to simply sign a rider to use guests (which the rules don't allow anyway as have to use r/r) is cheating imo R/R is to much of a strain on bodies and machine. It wouldn't make us stronger anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'd rather go RR than Lanham! If Plymouth or ippo don't make it means holder/heeps/Kurtz etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 But as I asked, will you have an r/r facility for Blackbird given that he has retired not got injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'd rather go RR than Lanham! If Plymouth or ippo don't make it means holder/heeps/Kurtz etc The same Leigh Lanham who averaged more than Blackbird this season? The signing deadline is the 28th August. But as I asked, will you have an r/r facility for Blackbird given that he has retired not got injured? We have tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coomie Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Think it's a shame Lewis has retired from speedway think he had real talent in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) The thing is Peterborough have used guests for most of the season to get themselves into the play-offs, which is wrong but that's what the rules allow. I'm sure if they won the league most of the fans wouldn't care less if guests were used to do it. That's the state of speedway at the moment with lack of riders wanting to ride over here. along with sheffield really think if a rider is out long term you should only be allowed to use guests for so long then switch to national league guests or replace the rider Edited August 21, 2015 by scarra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have tonight But is it a time limited facility? e.g. 28 days (or less)? Didn't Glasgow only get a 14 day facility when Berge threw his dummy out of bed?

scoobydoo Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 along with sheffield really think if a rider is out long term you should only be allowed to use guests for so long then switch to national league guests or replace the rider And make the sport even more unattractive to existing fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Glasgow only get a 14 day facility when Berge threw his dummy out of bed? but surely as there is a signing deadline of the 28th then any facility has to either be only until that date or if not then it must be to the end of the season.

Lukas Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think Barker will be a good addition..and please stop planting the seed of Lanham on here because not hearing it anywhere else and I believe in Ged to make the right moves as he wants success as much as us.

peterborough daz Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Finding the right replacement for Blackbird is key. We need more heat winners from the 3 position. Someone in the mould if Kus would be ideal. What would porsing average at PL level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I just read on BSPA website that Olly Allen is retired??..is that old news..ifso I missed it and a shame .I was hoping he'd be back next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Lambert had Allen in his camp this season since his injury and with Allens Peterborough connections things could of been better with him at Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
