LisaColette Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I thought the rules say only r/r for a non-doubling-up 2nd string = but I may be wrong what with my recent understanding of the rules!!!!!? Much more of a concern - and no doubt lengthy debate - will be the line-ups for the return fixture on Friday!! (But I'll wait for the thread before getting into it!!) Oh no, why, who is missing?? Quick someone start the thread!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 And as the pay more........... Wonder who Matt has got lined up. Hopefully a track specialist. Lindgren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Coventry probably not his fave track either. There seems to be some confusion about what replacement we will be allowed according to the world of twitter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Coventry probably not his fave track either. There seems to be some confusion about what replacement we will be allowed according to the world of twitter.. I can see no reason why we wouldn't be allowed a guest. He is our number one. If the Torun meeting is not a rearranged fixture, Holder by not being a Brit doesn't have to put uk first, unfortunately. A guest should be allowed. If we have to run with a 3 pointer Coventry will get the points in a hollow victory which will be poor for everyone.

Eastbourne and Belle Vue away spring easily to my mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) The Torun fixture was on the list first apparently so I dont see why Poole wouldn't be allowed a guest. Edited April 18, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 How bloody hard is it to arrange fixtures when both teams have all their riders available?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to run with a 3 pointer Coventry will get the points in a hollow victory which will be poor for everyone. Is he Polish then? It's only April and I'm cheesed off already with what looks like another season of guests/rider replacements. If Holder chooses to ride for Torun rather than Poole then it should be a National League rider as a replacement. You can borrow one from the Storm if you like. How bloody hard is it to arrange fixtures when both teams have all their riders available?! Too hard apparently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 It wasn't a choice for Holder, the Torun fixture was on the list first so he rides there. Surely its not difficult to have another side ride Friday night instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Very disappointing that we don't go to Coventry at full strength. A gues is never the same. If Holder scored five then fair enough he has a duffer and we lose. If a guest scores five then we lost because of that and Holder would have scored more etc etc. Guess we will discover who Matt has lined up in the next couple of days. It wasn't a choice for Holder, the Torun fixture was on the list first so he rides there. Surely its not difficult to have another side ride Friday night instead. This is something that could be avoided. The fixtures come out far too late and other leagues have their fixtures sorted way before the uk. Whoever planned Fridays Cov v Poole meeting must have known before the season even started that Holder would not be available and this meeting could have been switched a week to avoid this scenario.

Trees Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 We could bring them out before anyone else but there is no point cos the riders couldn't afford to put us first ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One blip away from home doesn't matter now in the grand scheme of things,its all about preparing for the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) According to Poole's website its nothing to do with whose fixtures were out first or any preference by Chris - Torun get preference because Holder has been contracted to them uninterrupted for longer than Poole (He missed part of the 2014 season)!! MF tried to get the fixture switched but Mick didn't want to play ball. I've started the Bees v Pirates thread now.............!
