So technically. He can ride as a proper rider for Ipswich. But also sign as a rising star for say belle vue or Sheffield and have 2 teams in 1 league.

Any rider on the Rising Star list is entitled to guest for another RS of the same grade or lower. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/risingstars21 Edited June 30, 2021 by NeilWatson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 To be honest, having Rowe there improves the entertainment from my perspective.. It's £36 for me and the lad tomorrow and having him there instead of Bates should mean a closer match and racing.. However.. I can dispassionately "couldn't care less" who wins, but maybe those that still see league racing in the UK as "real" may not... And that unfortunately is the ultimate downfall of the way the sport is ran.. Eventually you pee the die hards off (your biggest, most loyal fans), so much that they then lose their enthusiasm and (more importantly), their attendance.. Finally.. Is Jack there or have Torun got a meeting Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Surely this means Sheffield are riding without a "rising star" in the team. Is that within the rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millersfan444 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Sheffield had Kyle Bickley as the guest for Josh Bates last week. He is not in a team as a Rising Star but is on the Rising Star list, so perfectly legal as would be Nathan Greaves, James Shanes or Connor Mountain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 As farcical as this RS guesting situation is in itself the more pertinent point for me is the impact on his own team If Anders does well then he puts the very slim chance his own team has of catching Sheffield as the vulnerable 4th placed team in deeper jeopardy I suppose the only saving grace is that in the scheme of things the play offs and even winning a championship mean eff all in terms of any tangible reward! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Poland ran with this? I am sure Betard would be delighted for Woffy to top score for Gorzow to help knock Wroclaw out of a play off slot.. I am sure that they would also be both eager and delighted to sign off their several hundred thousand euro sponsorship deals for both team and individual again for next year... Whilst such nonsense exists, the sport can never move forward.. No matter what else they try and do to improve its following.. "Being taken seriously" and "Having credibility" are two simple and very, very, basic fundamentals if you want to attract investment or just basic custom...

Can't argue with that but at least the replacement has similar or lower average In this case its 3 points higher on true form but masked by the RS grading system I'm thinking that perhaps Ioswich should replace Anders with a new signing up to his 5.49 average and then replace Drew with Anders as the RS Can't see anything in the rules to prevent that.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Going to be funny if Sheffield lose after bending the rules. Anders Rowe isn't the key rider tonight though it's Troy Batchelor. Batch rides well then Sheffield win, Rides poorly then BV take 4 big points back to Manchester imo.
