Thus, Richard Lawson (to pick a name at random) can ride at No 1 for Plymouth at home every week for as long as Eddie Kennett is out (unless Eddie's CMA is overtaken by another Gladiator) and again in every away match unless he had been a guest at that track the previous week. How about when Poole are there the week after?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. I knew it was 8 days wasn't aware of the No 1 exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Poole are going to same track as Plymouth within the 8 days, is he still allowed to guest for Plymouth? Good preparation for Poole if he is! Haven't even checked the fixture list to see if it is even a possibility yet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8-day rule only applies to guest appearances, not riding for your own team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Can he guest for Plymouth on the same night Poole are there? Half n Half Kevlars or something? He would keep the scores very close by getting exactly the same points for both teams in every one of his races... Sorry... On reflection, that would bring a ludicrous lack of credibility to the sport wouldn't it, and prevent people, media and potential sponsors, taking the sport seriously.. Just let him ride the whole season for Plymouth when Poole aren't there as the rules allow.. That way, the credibility of the sport is protected..

szkocjasid Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Lawson's average will go up in May, so won't be able to guest for Kennett much longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Big if after what I saw on Tuesday one track specialist so he probably will score some points tonight could be interesting still though may the bear team win. As long as that’s Plymouth lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Some big hitters in the Plymouth line up, this could be a difficult match. MPT, Ben Barker and Gilkes know the track well, throw in the very capable Lawson and Anderson and a very strong line up. Scorpions need to start well ,with all 7 making good contributions to keep the 3 points at the EWR. To any travelling fans ,wrap up well as every match this season has been Baltic with the wind in the NE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
