Based on his scores this season (and last) I'd argue that's not the case at all. Did I say anything about our previous guests? I simply said Flint will be a poor guest at number 1, take your Berwick hat off and see it for what it is, a rider nearly two points below the average we have to play with who has never scored well at Armadale at this level is a poor choice of guest. Suggest you do some research and have your facts straight. We agreed to sign a replacement a while back but it was blocked...We've played within the rules, crap rules, I'll give you that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re lucky yous haven’t been forced to run NL riders for him as that’s what you deserve IMO as every man and their dog know he’s not injured and this was the plan all along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 7 from 4 at number 1 for Oxford, I’d argue that not many riders who are available have done better than that… You’ve got Oxford, Leicester, Berwick and Poole not riding, Leicester’s top 3 are too high, as is Nicholls, Bomber and S Worrall. Lawson guesting for Edinburgh, Wells and Starke guesting at Glasgow and King at Scunny. That leaves Batchelor who never really guests for anyone and wouldn’t want to go to Armadale, or Summers. Enlighten me on the riders you would of chosen… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There more the one rider out there if you were really desperate to sign a replacement Do you really think Kennett was interested in doing a season,just asking as there were a lot of rumours circulating at the the time and circumstances regarding his work situation.

HGould Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Pretty sure BSPL and SCB require proof of long term injury for any insurance or BenFund claims. They don't just rubber stamp continuing facilities. Most notable thing with Kennett is he hasn't ridden on Grass or Longvtrack all year, even to "try fitness". Best ignore gobrubbishes like motormouth from Poole spreading rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Why is the finish line further along the straight from the start line? Is that legal? Are the canny Scots trying to get a bit more speedway for their money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Yeah it's 260m which is the minimum length for an FIM track... seems a bit of a cheat though as it'll only be 260m for one lap... Plymouth are putting up a hell of a fight here with half a team Edited August 5, 2022 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
