That’s crazy really that a team can have a higher rated Rising Star as a guest that they one they actually own! When every other rider has a guest covering him, it’s  just up to his average irrespective of the team’s total average. So it should be the  same for Rising Stars. 

Couldn't have put it any better myself! For example Newcastle wouldn't be allowed Craig Cook as a guest for an injured Ben Barker just because they're 4 odd points below the limit!

Can riders not warm tyres up now at the start gate?

I didn’t even really see him doing it. Plus multiple riders were doing all evening think it was more Crump was annoyed at being made a bit average all night !

Not really crump was trying to point it out to the referee but he somehow didn't see it,:cry:strange you saw multiple riders doing it but missed auty when crumpy was pointing it out

For anyone that was at the meeting today were the four Plymouth riders who failed to beat an opponent as bad as their scores suggest or were there any signs of optimism? 
 

 

Personally I thought they were as bad as their scores suggest, however others may disagree.

Cook and Ruml looked awful.

Goret struggled but he never gave up, He'll come good but may take a season to get going.

Bowtell didn't look great but have seen him do well in the past I'm sure he'll be fine.

The riders that didn't beat an opponent were very poor out of the gate,scunny were on it and we were well beaten, but I'm optimistic we will improve

Apart from the score, how did you enjoy your trip to your second favourite club.

Apart from the result it was ok,surprised at the size of the crowd looked pretty sparse,but at least we have speedway back and we are up and running

Exactly this i actually thought Goret looked fast on track but was terrible out the gate! 
 

Cook and Ruml and Bowtell were a mile off the pace 

Pedersen very good was a class above everyone 

Crump was a little disappointing but hes my favourite all time rider so might just of been my un-realistic expectations 

Scunny looked decent but will have far harder tests, was surprised by Pjiper though looked fast..  

Track was pretty poor today and basically a Pedersen dream track of which he took full advantage and was very good but understandable considering weather etc.

Sorry,have to disagree,was that not the first time any of them had ridden the track? I may be wrong,they were off the pace a little but not by much,they all look to have potential.hardly any falls amongst them either.

For me Goret looked like he had some pace however the others were really quite bad Theo Pijper and Kyle Howarth were nearly a straight clear after one lap in one of the heats

Can only wonder why the referee put crump back 15 metres,for protesting at autys tyre warming? He spoilt what was potentially a damn good speedway race, Scunthorpe had the meeting won,but he should have used his discretion and not penalised him.again the paying public get short-changed because of one act of lunacy by the ref..
