I assume Starke is guesting in the 2nd leg because Wright won't fit without the extra 5% but surely a precedent has now been set?


It sure has.       It would appear that if both managers agree  any rule can be changed to facilitate  any rider...…       Thinking back through the season, I wonder how many teams could have changed their guest if they were offered a similar  privilege..., :t:

I mean really?! Do I have to start singing 'let it go' at you or something? I have a terrible singing voice but if that is what it takes I'll do it! :)

Absolutely spot on - time for some KL fans to move on we was beaten by the better side over the two legs end of - we was the best team over the regular season that’s for sure as our league position shows we all signed up for the same set of rule ie the play offs so time for certain people to congratulate the Pirates on there win and put there sour grapes away . 

I cannot agree.

What is past is prologue.

Those who accept it now, will be to blame when it happens again in the future.

Hijacked by one of your own fans though, who just can't let it go. 

Cannot see which way this is going to go. I would have made KL the favourites but now Somerset have booked Wright I think Somerset might just edge it, but Covatti needs to be on it. 

Iversen had a 15 point max last time out at the OTA I think. Not many riders have managed that over the years, and I think he also did it back when he was at Newport.

Sadly I think that Terrible Arnio is worse than Howarth. 

Definitely isn't i saw him guest at Poole he is decent so is NBJacobsen who they could also use which is why i thought Howarth was a strange choice and said so at the time. If you have to choose a guest at least pick one that is in form.

And remember, all the 5% moans are completely self inflicted. No point moaning about it when Poole had Ellis booked for the second leg. It all comes down to Allit booking Ellis for the first leg that caused the mess.

Hopefully the rules should have been changed to allow 5% home and away.

I would hope so... R. Worrall fits for Lynn at Somerset with the away +5%.. :blink: I wonder if Lynn tried it ;)

Forget that SS.. I had forgot it don't apply to reserves :t:
