10.09 - Scunny v Poole


Recommended Posts

Really think after Kings lynn announcement tonight that it’s going to be two leagues again then the championship needs a tweak . The last month there has been 4 home teams riding on a Friday ,which is leaving teams with injuries or riders missing due to other reasons a massive shortage of guest riders. Something has to change  ie 

1- limit the amount of teams that can ride on a set race night 

2- allow riders from the top league to have a conversion average so they can cover absent riders in the lower league

There will be more options I’m Sure that we will need to explore

Number 2. Already exists. See Hans for Poole at the very beginning of the year

No Schlein tonight. Poole operating r/r. Rory has tested positive for Covid and will miss our next away meeting as well at Leicester next Saturday.

I am coming up with Rob tonight but that’s stuffed us for the win.

Steve and Danny (both track specialists) can each take a r/r ride. It will however be a steep learning curve for both Bens and probably Havvy too!

At least there are a few more options for a decent guest next Saturday as r/r is always a risk in case of further injury as we experienced at Brum!!

Lets hope there are no more positive tests for riders or mechanics!

If Schlein has tested positive for covid from Wednesdays home match surely there are mechanics, management staff and riders who were in close contact with him this week . So what is the protocol from a sporting event with regards people in close proximity ???

There is a government website which is quite handy to use

It says in local media that they take tests every 48 hours (I think). So they have all been tested since Rory's came up positive and everyone is negative so far.

Douglas for Schlein? 

Not sure who else could cover for Aarnio but most would be better than Andersen 

If Douglas guested for Schlein, that would be result decided before we even start. Not sure regarding the averages and who would fit for Aarnio but would be nice to have Jake Allen in, but would almost certainly say his average is too high. 

Nothing will change for scunny though would certainly be a harsh move to cancel Andersen's booking at this late time
