The offer is attend the double header starting at 7 or attend one meeting starting at about 2030... 

I'll put my money on the second match starting at 21.00 and 'the end " to be around 23.30 ( but not before ). We'll let the Updater be the arbiter of what time the final race is completed, shall we?

So who would fit and be available for Schlien?

if both teams use r/r might be advisable to take sleeping bags:P (that's not being negative simply realistic)

Anyone from Belle Vue,if they want the booking.But again Wolves may think R/R a better option as would a BV rider really be at his best thinking a Lynn win would be more beneficial to BV making the play-offs.Could all change with tonights results of course.

Now call me cynical but I'd be more reassured if the rider had been named:rolleyes: can think of no good reason not to name him

I find it hard to be able to probably get an adequate rider to be on standby.As mentioned before hindsight is a wonderful thing,how do we know who may be injured.You can say have Bewley on standby but he could only replace R.Lambert or Proctor.So if Jorgensen was to get injured you would be buggered.So looking at it like that i think the rider on standby will have a PL average of 6.07 or below so he can fit in for any of the top 5.And if Toft was to get injured they would probably just go with Bailey at reserve.

The riders who it could be,would be someone like Garrity,NBJ.But think it would most probably be Kasper Andersen.

If they pull their finger out meetings, like the one at Swindon the other night, can be completed in about 1hr 45 mins although using RR will delay that slightly.

Come along to the meeting, I guess he’ll be in the pits, see with your own eyes :D

You know damn well I won't. Things have to improve a lot more on the VFM aspect first.

You and I both know it's very easy to say a rider is on standby. As he is anonymous it could well be a 3 pt National League rider. As tellboy says it won't be Bewley, but for the reassurance of fans who are willing to pay wouldn't it be nice for them to know, just in case he is needed and to say thanks anyway if he's not.

You can rest assured, if it was somebody decent, it would be broadcasted all over the media.   The fact they wish to keep it a secret, suggests it is no one special.

It can't be anyone special as it is our riders averages that dictate who we can have.

I still think it will Kasper.

I think you could well be right. Just think of the positive spin the club could put on it - although no longer part of the team he is still prepared to help out if needed. 

Just needs a bit of thought.

I think you're both wrong.

Think MrMungo being on the thread is a decent clue as to who the rider is.

Long time no speak MrM. Hope you are well mate :t:

I often read Mr H, the KL threads can make for amusing/interesting(delete as applicable) reading on a slow day at work! :P

I thought Stars had said Josh Bailey will be on standby Wednesday. Not that I will be there, as I am told that I can't attend the first meeting then leave and be refunded 9 pounds. According to Buster there won't be anyone to give me  any  money back at the end of first meeting, although people will be able to take admission for the second meeting. So instead of getting 36 pounds from me he will get nothing. So sod the double header , I will stay at home and save my money.

 I wish it was.    to me he has a lot to offer,     But surely if it was him, the club would have used the occasion to publicise the fact...      

At present he is a free agent, having only competed in 7 matches,   if he were to ride again,   A) He would then become a Stars asset, and       b):   He would be in line for a reduce average.
