King's Lynn V Swindon 9th Sept 19.45


Recommended Posts

As a 2nd reserve but not as a 1st one. Kerr is a big miss for King's Lynn

Yes true he certainly no Lewis Kerr but Ashley Morris is going well now and Swindon have Branford at reserve who they both are capable of beating and on current form Charles Wright is quite beatable too.

With Robert Lambert back then should be a fairly routine win.

I think the Darcy injury has changed the likely outcome of this meeting from a close call Robins win to a comfy Stars victory, but in reality, it doesn't seem important right now.

Motorsport is going through a bad time right now, RIP Justin Wilson another victim of a freak accudent.

I hope the Robins ride hard for Darcy, but the result seems immaterial to me now.

Let's hope so as it would be hypocritical if they don't now let their riders guest after using Bomber.

Unless they've agreed to maybe lend a Belle Vue rider to The Bees on a private arrangement to even things up.

Not sure about that but obviously a couple if their riders are Coventry asset's

I assume that the Aces are not prepared to allow their riders to guest for their play off rivals. Obviously, the sense of that decision is to prevent a farcical situation where a Belle Vue rider could be responsible for knocking them out of the play offs. That would therefore not include Poole or Coventry, who are already certain of the play offs.

 

My guess is that they might allow someone to guest, say for Swindon, if Belle Vue couldn't now catch Swindon so they are no longer rivals for the play offs.

If Belle Vue get maximum points from their remaining fixtures they would finish on 53

Swindon are currently on 48 with 5 meetings to go. Whilst it's highly unlikely that Swindon won't get more than 5 points from their remaining fixtures, it is still not mathematically impossible for Belle Vue to miss out to Swindon.

 

Although I agree that a lose for King's Lynn would suit them more

I have seen a lot of comment regarding BV's refusal to allow their riders to guest for other p/off rivals but is there any way that they can reinforce this. I have seen no mention of this in the rule books.

It's not a set rule that can be reinforced but their riders can be asked not to by the management and decide if they want to or not, although I imagine if it affects their own chances of making the play offs then they won't.

 

The risk they then run though is if they need guests themselves.

Coventry have been very good even with play off rivals. They have let riders guest for Belle Vue, Poole and a lot for Swindon.
