Bagpuss Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 It had been said on this forum at some point that the number eight rules are different this year and that they can take rides during a meeting almost as a third reserve.

If so Cook & Howarth along with the reserves can take a ride. Maybe theres a loophole that as he has ridden two meetings listed under the team banner of Sheffield it will count !

scoobydoo Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Blodorn got his visa issues sorted Aces will score well from reserve especially Brennan , Allen and Etheridge wont want to get dropped from any rides if they want to stay in the side Edited March 28, 2022 by scoobydoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 You have to love the clarity of British Speedway rules... No updates on either BV, Sheffield official sites or Musielak social media today as to whether he is riding tonight. Weather forecast was good for today, before I head North could a local confirm all is dry in and around Manchester please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 15miles away and it's a nice fresh day all around, no rain forecast whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is not a 4.80 rider imo and he's on that average due to 1 poor season where he didn't prepare right due to him going back and forth whether to race in the UK during the pandemic. Tom Brennan is only going to improve and he's by far the best rising star in the league imo, Proper No.1 in Max Fricke with solid backup from Brady Kurtz. Jye Etheridge is the only worry in your side imo. As for Sheffield they're very overrated having time to reflect on things imo, Weak at reserve and Nielsen is injury prone. Craig Cook is on a downward spiral as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was speculation prior to the publication of the rulebook, which from my reading appears to make no such provision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks to those that sent weather details, shame Sheffield missing two riders. Ellis, Worrall & Howarth can take Cooks R/R I believe. Looks like a home win now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On last Monday's showing I'd be inclined to agree with Richie Worrall being better than Musielak but I doubt Musielak would have been as poor again this week. Test of Stead's team management, got to get the R/R selections correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provide a night at the Speedway but dont make it a "proper competition"... Only six teams in the league and cup so surely dates could be found between now and the end of the season..? Sadly "it's ok we can have a Guest, which riders go well around there? We could end up better off!!" is too often the refrain, rather than "let's keep credibility in our main competitions, make them mean something, and be worth winning"... At least the weather is looking good for tonight, which usually means decent crowd numbers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit strange for a polish rider they normally love the NSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
