Should be safe enough, but question is when will it be run? Edinburgh occasionally run on Saturdays but imagine kemp still be away and MPT not available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a ridiculous rule but still a rule and Yes I doubt I would pleased if this was other way about but it is not the team’s fault. Kemp was fantastic last time at Armadale and is a big miss. Feel for Redcar with MPT situation. We have suffered after Nathan retired and couldn’t use Lawson as a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Agree it’s the rules that are the issue and not Edinburgh’s use of them. Not sure either leg will survive the weather (if the forecasts are correct) but the Bears are well up against it, given the loss of MPT and Edinburgh’s recent form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember top league play offs Woffy and Hancock getting bussed into teams at business end of seasons. Perfectly legal yet not perhaps in the spirit of the game so to speak.

Berwicks's season is over so Flints 3* classification should be obsolete. It's the play offs ffs and Edinburgh should only be allowed a rider with an average equal to or below Kemps. This situation really boils my piss and it's no wonder Ben Duffil has had enough. It honestly feels like it's the BSPL vs Redcar. all the time. Godfrey and his cronies really do hate The Redcar Bears. If ever there was a reason not to travel then this is it. Armadump is a 3.5hr drive from Teesside and although I planned to go I don't think I can be arsed to make the journey when I know the odds have been stacked against us and if I decide not to go I am damn sure I won't line the What The Forks Cheating Monarchs pockets by buying their stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it cheating when you used Dan Thomson who had a 6 point average with Leicester as your rising star as a guest at Newcastle earlier in the season. Or does that not count?

Paulco Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 It was obvious Leon Flint was going to play a part in the play offs at some point . Pretty sure this occasion won't be the last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a Bears fan myself, you're being a bit of a doyle over this. Like mentioned previously, we have benefited from the same rule ourselves. Dan Thompson and Jordan Palin have both guested for us whilst having a bigger average than Jordan. Flint scored well at armadale for Plymouth but he doesn't usually go too well and Kemp seems to have learned the track too so it's not a massive improvement!

OK fair point but I feel invested, it's as if the supporters don't matter remember what happened at B'ham when the BSPL ruled against Redcar? Now MPT gets injured riding in the premiership in the week the average's change and hey presto we can't use a guest!! But Edinburgh can, they are kicking us when we are down and sticking g the knife in at the same time. No doubt they will spring up on this thread if they beat a seriously depleted Bears team "Gloating" about how fantastic they performed in their rubbish stadium. Fairness is surley not a lot to ask, what exactly is the point of the play offs if the rules allow for this situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofty has been 4th in the averages all of September. The only difference in the new averages is Jake is now 3rd not Lewi. We had to run RR most of the season with Jordy being 4th in the averages also. It is fair. The rules have been set and abided by all season. What would be unfair is to change them now? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let teams use guests (even though I hate them, and we're going to for MPT on Monday) if a rider is injured while riding for his DU team or vice versa.
