Gavan Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 And didnt Belle Vue recently get beat by Kings Lynn at home missing their number 1 when Fricke was missing?? If Lynn can win there then so should Poole especially getting track specialist Tungate to ride rather than 'white line' Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Because, believe it or not, the 8 day rule does not apply to the home team. Yes it does. It doesn't apply to the home No.1 So how come Paddy can guest ride for Belle Vue 5 days after riding for his own club Leicester at Belle Vue ??? Because as you say he was riding for his own club last night, not guesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with complacency. More to do with riders making a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The '8-day' rule is surely to stop a rider guesting at the same track more than once in any 8-day period - unless its for your number 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Here's an idea. Promoters should kid fans that they have signed all the top riders to race for our clubs in the 2017 season, but then say they can't use them as they are riding somewhere else that night and will have to use a stand-in. Supporters will sleep in the belief that the real stars have returned. Afterall, many don't notice... or even care. The whole sport is tootling along in this country, and a stadium that can race on any day it wishes chooses to put a match on in which one of its riders is elsewhere. Let's just get it on tonight; tomorrow will look after itself. Let's just get say 21 riders to attend every match... Team managers pick two riders to be captains (maybe the first two lads who arrive) and everyone else stands up against the pit wall while the captains take it in turns to pick six riders each... The away team captain to pick first to make it a bit fairer.... Unless of course he has rode at the track the week before... Unless of course he rode for the other team the week before then that would be OK... (I think) There, that should cover it.... Feel a bit sorry for the lads who don't get picked but on the positive side they can get themselves off to the Airport before the others and baggsy a window seat on the plane to 'wherever it is tonight'... "Right. Open the gates Security, and stand well back"!!!😉😁 Edited September 8, 2016 by mikebv 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) I can't read some of the posts on here without thinking I just couldn't be arsed anymore with the silly rules. Surely there are better things in life than worrying about an eight-day rule or riders below five foot not being able to guest for anyone on a Wednesday.

ray c Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I do think we will win at belle vue Monday night weather permitting I still think the home side are not dialed on there on track yet the way Kyle rode last time there he could be our trump card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the 'word' on Wednesday was that it was more likely to be Tuesday. I guess he will have some sort of test outing over the weekend and then see how the wrist reacts?!
