Yup BT Sport have signed up Richard Lawson to replace Scott in the studio.  Apparently part of the deal is that Lawson gets a free haircurt in "make Up" before he appears on TV.

Eastbourne number 1 Richard Lawson.....

Yes Eastbourne no 1 Lawson,  so I think that means we've got Scott Nicholls instead so who are Leicester now having as guest?  - Chris Harris perhaps  (before someone takes this seriously it's a joke)

Well done lester , once kemp was out and with a superb guest it looked like an away win really. Way too many issues for eastie early in matches. “Fortress arlington” breached twice already this yr ..

And he didn’t even get a ride over there!

Leicester's new 1-7 is effective from tomorrow (18th July)

From Eastbourne website:

Drew Kemp is unavailable for the Eagles because he is riding for his Polish club, Gdańsk.

His place will be taken by Nathan Ablitt. In these circumstances, Championship clubs can only use a 3-point NDL level reserve.

If that's the case how does Knight guest?

Still made more money though.It’s a gamble but if they breakthrough it will be worth it,it’s not a given though,he will get dumped pretty quick if things don’t go well.He is a talent though and can’t blame him.It’s our set up that allows things like this to happen.Don’t sign anybody who isn’t FULLY COMMITTED to a season.

Drew Kemp 3.58, Jake Knight 2.00 from the latest GSAs (Issue 10).

Art 12.4 gives the facilities for an absent reserve as :

D Absent 6 - 7 : G
E No facility : G with an MA of 25% lower that the absent
rider, in accordance with the appropriate
minimum MA for that league.
The 5% enhancement for home riders is not
applicable in this situation.

Jake fits under both those categories.

I merely posted a quote from the Eastbourne website. The change looks OK to me (see below)

Not arguing wether he should or shouldn't be allowed to guest but shouldn't the Eastbourne website know the rules? If they don't the rules are too complicated!

No one raking the home gates this afternoon?

It was the hose pipe today.

They got away with it at one grading break when they had 2&4 in 4 consecutive heats, hence the fight back, but got caught next time round and were made to even then all out.

It certainly was an interesting bit of track grading.

Basically a bit of over watering on gates 1&3 ( flooded were the words I heard ) which coincides with Leicester having those gates for two heats in a row mid meeting which resulted in two 5 1s for the home team! Needless to say the Leicester TM and Captain were on the centre green next to the start line for the next grading and watering which resulted in the tractor having to come back out to grade all the starts after consultation with the referee who inspected the track prep & was dissatisfied as all four gates were not prepared the same..

Also not Kevin Coombes finest afternoon.

Arrived late, consistently got the name of Leicesters sponsors wrong (JBC?) got the score wrong (probably due to the late arrival in part fairness) and didn’t notice Dan Thompson had replaced Zaine Kennedy in heat 11.
