It said in the star, there will be only one change. Lewis Bridger? he rides Thursdays at king Lynn, Scunny on friday might work for him.

Regards Bridger ? thats not a bad shout ? albeit I thought I read he didnt want a Championship club and was content to ease his way back at Kings Lynn ?. That said with Stars Thurs and Scorps Friday is it too much out of his way to do 4  more rides at Scunny the next night ? Certainly the more rides the better for his comeback. Ok he wont be like for like for Jake but we'd get one of British Speedways once highly rated prospects on around a 6pt average who has the ability to be a top rider in this league ? Might add some further interest to the season watching him make a comeback. ? He would make us that bit stronger on paper its a fact. 

Auty; Pijper, Tommy, Aarnio Bridger Palin & Lambo.

Put BWD in as your final rider, & it doesn't look a bad team, especially at home.

Certainly would ; I have no idea what average BWD would come in on. But there must be some reduction due to his not riding here since 2018 ? He has gone  well at Scunny and would strengthen that line up !

Not sure, how many points have you got left, & does he qualify for a reduction s he rode in the National League ?

I have just had a scan through the archives & BWD has a Championship average from 2018 BUT rode in the Premiership in 2019 so that will be his most recent average to be used, which was 5.47. This, converted by 1.5 for Championship racing gives 8.21. we only have 7.73 in total to play with.

With him being a New Zealander, I am not sure if he is entitled to a reduction even though he rode in the NDL.

I,m sure if bwd is available and willing to ride for scunthorpe that the powers to be will come up with a scenario for his average to fit:rolleyes:

Having spoken to the main man the rider in question will fit into the team as per the rules on the day he is announced. Just hope they don't announce him before they announce the new rules. :rofl:

Does BWD get a reduction for being out injured since 13 june 2019.

When did anybody qualify for a reduction on the basis of missing less than half a season through injury....

Furthermore he rode in New Zealand in both 19/20 and 20/21.

I don't know what qualifies a rider for a reduction, he was injured last year because he pulled out before Covid kicked off.
