topsoil Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 If I was looking to get a refund for tickets bought for the postponed Plymouth match and the ticket agency won't reply to my emails, who would you suggest I contact? Suggestions please Newcastle fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Can someone clear this up please? Dan Thompon down as a guest at reseve for Redcar tonight. according to the Leicester thread, his average on the latest sheets is 6.05, the question is, when does this take effect? if it's today, then he can't ride at reserve.

erniew Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 It also says effective 7 days after last qualifying meeting which was 18/7 so which is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not been riding well this season, rumours he's of to Oz after this season, wish the Diamonds and Granty all the best hope you get a full house.I do miss Grantys "chuck wagon " at Berwick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 10.2.1 A Premiership or Championship Assessed League rider will establish an MA after 4 home and 4 away fixtures. Becoming effective 7 days after the last qualifying meeting. Thompson's average is therefore most definitely 6.05 today - typo on greensheets notwithstanding) However I think Thompson remains a 2* Rising star and can therefore guest for Jenkins under: 012.4 Facilities – page 113 D) Absent 6 th rider by MA – Guest.D1) Absent Rising Star – Same star rider or lower.

erniew Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 So, to continue the discussion, as Thompson is no longer a reserve, does his rising star rating take precedence over his average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he remains on the rising star list until it is revised. Note: this is an opinion based on the impression I have gained, I am not in the least bit certain that this is indeed the case.

erniew Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Technically correct, however, no use whatever in the context of this (not for the first time) apparent contradiction in the rulebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Dan Thompson isn't Leicester's Rising Star though, Joe T is. Does this not make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniew Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks Steve for clearing that up so It would appear that Dan isn't eligible to ride tonight. I hope someone at Redcar is aware of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normski Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Another example of a simple sport being hampered by unreal rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrP Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Both Dan and Joe are listed as 1 star rising stars. Jenkins is listed as a 2 star so how come they can use a 3 star guest in Bowtell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBSN Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 He's on the rising star list. He's ridden the past two meetings for Redcar. And teams get vetted days in advance. Come on guys they're not that dumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtell is below that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 For this season with the obvious shortage of available riders, all clubs have requested a little leniency with the SCB rules and regs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
