Leicester V Coventry 9th May 2015


Recommended Posts

Nick Morris guests at Number 1 for Coventry. He has started the season in good form but a tough position to ride in.

Any word on who is guesting for Leicester in place of Walasek and Mikkel? (Imagine Rory will be one of the guests)

Heard a rumour (and it is just a rumour) that Schlein is going to guest for Team GB in the pairs tomorrow in place of Woffinden!!

With all the riders missing and the problem in getting guests for Leicester I would not be surprised if this meeting gets called off early in the day if it's wet at all.

 

As the club will be making team changes and cannot take another thrashing at home especially against Coventry just have to wait and see

Might as well call themselves the Poole Pirates while they're at it.

A meeting can't be called off just because riders are missing. Swindon went to Lakeside with a team of guests. As stated before, The way Leicester have been riding, a team of guests might do better.

 

There is now no rain forecast so can't see this meeting being called off.

With the weather looking good for later it would damage the club more if it was called off than ride with a guests who may even do a better job.

 

Anyhow the sun is out now

I think you'll find there is a relatively recent precedent for doing exactly that. Apparently, it cheats the fans but only if it affects the home team.

That rule is only in the book for South Coast teams although even they haven't been able to use it this year 😉

 

Michelsen's last score for Leicester was 0,0,0

Worrall scored 11 whilst Auty scored 4 when they met at Leicester a couple of weeks ago, so think guests could make them stronger

 

Hans will be a miss for bees as Hans scored 15 whilst Morris scored 6 in the same meeting there a couple of weeks ago but it is what it is. I'm sure Morris will do well.

Could they get back if they really wanted to? And would they be allowed to ride if they could get back??

 

@Hansi_Andersen: Another rain off 😟☔️ half hour too late for me to make it back to UK for Leicester 😡 #NeededJust20min #HadMeFlightSorted #JustWasntMeant2Be

With the way Leicester have been riding, I would think using guests would give them more of a chance of winning than using their own team

Every team in the country are using guests.....the riders are self employed contractors operating on a week to week basis hence they can be dispensed with if they are not performing as in the case of Jamrog who was dumped and kylmorkorpi was recruited to make a difference.....its not rocket science is it?
