Endeavour Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 2 minutes ago, eide67 said: Had a quick look through the regulations and can't see anything specifically related to a rider who retires after the cut-off date. You can have a guest facility for a retired rider for 28 days which can be rolled over if you can show why you haven't been able to bring in a replacement. So it looks like guests up to Nathan's current average of 3.96 unless there is some special dispensation. William Lawson would fit average-wise but I don't think you can guest if not in a declared 1-7. Technically Monarchs can’t bring in a replacement as we are by cut off for signing anyone. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eide67 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 As far as I understand, yes. Unless there can be some sort of dispensation 'in the interests of speedway'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Announced as Archie Freeman tonight. Assuming guests henceforth, Bickley, Kinsley, & Edwards have lower GSAs than the retired Greaves. Seems Rising Stars are eligible with Freeman for Greaves tonight?

Averages don’t count for rising stars,it depends on what Average the Team was built on as to what grade of rising star you can use apparently!!

Yes, it must be so but presumably only if their actual average is less than 3.96 - so not Leon Flint for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be true if replacing a rising star which is not the case here. As with bowtel being too high to guest for neilsen at Poole because his gsa is higher despite not being declared in his own teams team building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eide67 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Good luck to our teenage debutants tonight and young Archie. Looks like it should be a good close match. Always happy to watch Chris and Erik round the Dale and it will be interesting to see if Jack Thomas continues with recent improved form. Much will depend on the Brummies middle pairing but Edinburgh really need to stop Birmingham getting even one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Wow how did we throw that away! Riss exclusion controversial, I'd have thought all four back. Kept us on our toes and well done the Edinburgh promotion for giving us Brummies the stream service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Wasn't expecting the Brummies to get a draw, but reading updates looks like they should have got a win, R/R for Grobauer was always going to be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
