A rule amendment applying only to National League racing Incorrect. Number 8’s in the championship can take seven rides too, which came as a shock to the promoters when it was announced at the SCB seminars.

Sings4Speedway Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Assume that 1-7 riders still have to complete thier minimum 3 rides though (unless withdrawn) so effectively an AR no 8 can only take a ride off a main rider once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew Luke could guest for Watson but not Embleton, then so should have Berwick! Don't even need a long memory, look at Mildenhall's depleted team at the end of last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrs Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 19 hours ago, screm said: Taken from Facebook Archie Freemen, who suffered a broken leg in his first race for Berwick Bandits Speedway Bullets in their defeat at Belle Bue Colts this afternoon. Mum Gillian said: “Archie is currently sleeping off sedation, he's had a leg manipulation due to large amount of swelling from leg break of tib and fib. He will hopefully have an op in the morning and will spend 5 to 7 days in hospital. “Will keep you all updated xxx” Best wishes to Archie, hope you'll soon be back in the saddle once you're mended, horrible injury. Take it steady with the recovery, and good luck to you Archie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secsy1 Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I understand rules are rules, but who makes them so stupid. It is a real shame what happened at Belle Vue for Archie, Mason and loss of Josh today. As a spectator who wants to see the best racing will not be going tonight as can only see a right drubbing, hope I am wrong. Can I ask why Luke Harrison was not allowed to ride or was it just a change of heart from management at Berwick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke had accepted the guest ride however as Berwick wanted to use him instead of josh embleton they couldn't as a reserve must be replaced by an unattached rider below his average. It's a good rule which gives riders without a place an opportunity to ride 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo95 Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 How long is Archie going to be out for? If Berwick are a couple of points below the limit and he is going to be out for a while, I wonder if there is anyone to strengthen the team with. See Mason still hasn't scored a point yet this season so R/R not much use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebee would fit for Watson and Kingston would fit in place of Freeman (haven't counted if a double switch fits). Berwick have been fortunate Halder has started the year well but theres a couple of passengers in the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still a speedway league and out of form riders get dropped....unless there is competition for places the standard will only continue to drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
