GiveusaB Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think this is going to be tougher than 'we' think? Scunthorpe have got several riders that go well at PB! Is James Wright going to be fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who Scunny have at reserve and if James Wright is back? With Poole Vs Plymouth and Oxford Vs Swindon, limited choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Jason Edwards or Lee Complin ?? (Scunthorpe) and I guess we'll take Paco if Wright isnt fit? Edited April 17, 2023 by GiveusaB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those must be the best options for Scunny. Danyon Hume best option for Birmingham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 'Vissing' would be the strongest option, but I don't know how that would sit with the Brummy faithful Complin might be a reasonable choice? The main thing is that the weather looks promising and we will see our first action of the season! 45-45 for me!

Fozzie4388 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think Complin will be having a few days off to spend with his New born son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Out of interest, when was the rule that stated that a rider needs to have ridden for a team, before that team can get a facility for his absence, removed from the rule book? Brummies fans may remember we came a cropper under that rule when Emiliano Sanchez was unable to start for us in 2007 and the team had to use a 3-point NL reserve in his place. It obviously doesn't apply now, if a facility is being granted for James Wright, but it'd be interesting to know when it was removed from the rule book.

Believe Jason Edwards is the guest for us this week. Should be two top meetings, but can only see two scunny wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was most likely when Poole removed it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wright is fit, then we have a chance, but if its a guest, then no matter who it is, I fancy Scunthorpe to edge it. Either way, I'm looking forward to attending.

As predicted....it's 'PACO' in for Wright! I'm sure Paco will give it his all, but I fear the worst tomorrow night so far as the result goes! Scunthorpe far stronger with Edwards....B'ham weaker with Castagna!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I know Proctor has rode for Redcar already but i do find it daft that riders from teams in the same group are allowed to guest. Edwards could basically score Massively tomorrow night and help Scunthorpe win at Birmingham helping them get through as Group winners leaving his own team Redcar hoping they're the best runners up or even KOing them from the Competition altogether. As always only in Speedway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take much common sense to work out that riders shouldn't be guesting for other teams in their group of three #jokesport 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Josh going to guest for Glasgow at one point in jubilee thingy last season but then changed his mind. Proctor said he is just doing speedway for fun now so prob not interested in the rights and wrongs of guesting! More money for retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
