Will we be allowed a guest for Lewis Kerr.

I should bloody well hope so.

 

Otherwise - what's the point of us turning up?

 

The accident in the original staging was not Kerr's fault, had it been so I could possibly, only possibly, see a case for saying no.

 

However given that Lewis was not the cause of the accident then I would have thought that use of a Guest would be a given.

Guests are allowed in the playoffs, so why not. This meeting is being rerun because of an accident, so why not.

To be honest Dave - I never even considered that there would not be a Guest in the circumstances.

you are winding us up?.. "normally" I find you one of the more intelligent posters.....playoffs are a 7 man team (as you know),

the 4s is for the teams top 4 riders, you simply move down the order of your team with injuries...hence Stefan Nielsen

in the 1st staging

No it's not a windup Colin, just putting forward an alternative to what is 'normal', and suggesting something fairer. With the Playoffs you are entitled to a guest, who is not participating in the POffs, What's the difference to have a guest for this special meeting, when by no fault of his own, Lewis can't ride now. It is a break from the normal for 4's meeting, but this is a special one.

would you want a guest in the pairs as well?? I understand your point, and it would weaken what could be a good 4s final....think past injuries has always promoted 5/6/or 7th rider into the equation

Yes, in a normal situation.

 

No guests in Pairs tho. Most teams have at least 3 decent riders, but in the 4's, not many teams have a decent 5th rider.

I'm guessing you would be willing to have Jonas B Andersen as a guest, and suffer from the dis-advantage of Jonas only having a 5.55 ave, compared to Lewis's 7.03 ave. All in the "best interest of the sport" of course. ;)
