It’s all in the rule book. I’m out at the moment but IIRC a guest can be used for 1,2,3,6 and 7. For 4 &5 - one out is usually RR, both out RR & Guest, but if they’re representing their FMN a guest can be used - so 7 guests is possible.

Not sure what Poole are doing with both Drew and Nathan in Europe on Friday. Drew at the SON u21 and Nathan in a u19 meeting. It don't make it any easier getting guests when Sunny Redcar Glasgow Edinburgh all riding too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally Redcar did once name 6 guests and r/r for a match at Sheffield that was rained off. I think they 'only' used 5 guests and r/r for the restating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, there won't be much more of that in the future then, will there? Still, we got our country back, innit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Birmingham should try and get as many Leicester riders to guest as possible or maybe Oxford as there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a big well done to Ben Cook tonight. I don't think he gets enough credit for his performances this season. Especially if his meetings are only for us. Unless he has been getting some extra meetings now? He definitely deserves them. Not a bad meeting, some good races especially early on, shame about the injuries, Morris one looked bad, hope he makes a speedy recovery, all the best to Stef too, didn't look too bad but withdrew so maybe worse than it looked, his mum was standing next to me at the time so she rushed off and didn't return. Very interesting chat with the Cooks mum and dad. So a good night,result never in doubt but would have been closer without the injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Seriously .... 'What is the point of trying to run Friday's meeting' ? Back to my previous 'post' ?

Birmingham's full team would struggle, the guests did ok last night especially Jason Edwards who I thought was excellent, it would have been closer if Stefan and Ashley didn't get injured.

But, I just don't see the point in going ahead with a meaningless fixture, when you only have one Team member available ? POINTLESS....if you pardon the pun!

The full Birmingham team is under strength really, sometimes guests can make a team stronger, like when Birmingham had Pickering as a guest. If they can't get suitable guests then it probably should be postponed but from Birmingham 's point of view I would think that they just want to get it over with.

You can't help riders getting injured in a sport like this tho and there's not enough riders sitting on the sidelines waiting for the phone to ring...

Not sure you would expect him to beat those guys regularly anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
