Normski Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 9 teams without a fixture on Saturday, 7 without a fixture on Sunday. Plenty to choose from just getting the right rider to do the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leander Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 3 hours ago, crescent girl said: I think they have -- you can now get a guest for any of top five -- but as I suspect your question might have been prompted by Kevin Doolan being 4th in Bandits' averages this month, you needn't worry, he's moved up to third in the pile as from June 1st. Meaning that, for r/r on Saturday, Bandits can use everyone except Spud for the skipper's races. Not quite:- 18.8 FACILITIES A Absent rider (s) 1-3 by MA G or RR B 1 absent rider 4-5 by MA RR (unless RR is already being used then it’s a G) C Both riders 4-5 RR x 1, G x 1 at the Team Managers discretion D Absent 6-7 G So because Doolan is now 3rd in the averages they have the option of a guest or R/R. If he was 4th it would be R/R only. (unless someone else was missing as well). When Matty guested for Pickering, Pickering was 3rd by average and Doolan 4th. They've now swopped around for June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guest is a must for Sunday. A see what you mean, but if you get a guest and, he struggles,,, your in the same boat. A was just trying to say that, the riders available to cover Kev, should be ok Edited May 30, 2019 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Loose Diamond Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 9 hours ago, StevePark said: Have the rules changed as far as a missing top 5 riders is concerned? I noticed last week, Matty Wethers guested for Edinburgh (in place of Josh Pickering), when no one else was missing. Last year it was R/R for one missing top 5 rider and guest(s) and R/R for more than one missing rider. Speedway rules are a joke. They seem to change every year. Guests are the biggest one. For me number 1 in averages should only be replaced by a guest. I'm sure last year and the year before teams in some matches seemed to have 2 or 3 guests. Same with teams in the National league . Why do teams use R/R in this league? Does not help younger riders coming through does it? Jayne Moss who was involved with Buxton was completely right when she said the National league had become just too expensive for them to compete. As she says it needs to go back to what used to be a league to bring on young riders. Sorry for diverting from the main post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had teams who just wanted to develop riders (mainly due to them having a main team and a second team - like the Diamonds/Gems for example) and you've got those who are stand alone (Mildenhall/Cradley etc) who want(ed) just to win the league. Anyhow - back on subject - any team news regarding Saturday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a look at the Berwick site where, at time of writing, there`s a report on our last meeting at Eastbourne but nothing as yet about tomorrow night. Very poor.
