Was it Nicol that guested once & scored about 16 from 7 rides in '18 or '19. Poole were trying ti sign him the following year based on that.

Unless you were thinking of Luke Becker who got 16+1 at reserve for Wolves at Poole in 2019??!

You know guests are dictated by averages so name riders that you would of chosen over Scunthorpe's poor choice?

I had a quick look and only Kennett and Kerr (they have both ridden for Poole in the past) that may have been chosen above. But Kennett has had a bad reaction to his covid jab and not sure if Kerr is riding abroad?? So on the face of it Nicol is a pretty decent guest and luckily he agreed as the rest would have been Howarth, Wells, Thomsen etc. Which are okay but would be tough for them at no1 as probably have 5 rides with the r/r as well.

Yes, I did mention Howarth but thought he might struggle riding at no1 but just checked and he top scored for Leicester at Poole, so might have been a good choice. But does he still live in Manchester and might have been too short notice?

When your in the lower league expect lesser opposition. 

All work to the same team average. Scunthorpe have a decent team, just suffering from injuries and a missing rider.

Should sign a foreign rider that never rides to boost the team.

I think there will have been a few riders who wouldn’t have taken the guest spot away to Poole ; due to the opposition and the distance to the meeting . Let’s get tonight out of the way and look forward to the Brummies on Friday we’re the guest booking will be essential

Until the mighty super Si turned up in heat 8 

He has been all over the place. At least they have attempted to stem the flow. Track was under watered tonight with dust issues but they have been watering every 4 heats.
