GiveusaB Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) I think so far as guesting rules go, I think that a guest should be allowed for a Heat leader....R/R should be used for a second string and a 2.00 ave (max) for any reserve guest.... Just my opinion. My point being, that a 'guest' shouldn't effectively make a side stronger than it would've been, had it had it's original 7 in place.

LisaColette Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I thought you had to use r/r for a second string anyway? Seems a bit harsh if you have strong reserves though. How are they stronger if have the same average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain riders ride certain tracks better than others...hence changing Edwards for Kennedy (similar ave) will definitely make Scunthorpe stronger. If Plymouth were riding at B'ham and Turner wasnt available, Edwards would make them far stronger. Edwards average at B'ham last season was more like a 7 average... Hopefully you get where I'm coming from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'm not that fussed who Scunthorpe use as a guest, I was just making a point about 'advantages' etc.... I'm looking forward to seeing Edwards ride, he's great around PB...it's a shame that we didn't sign him ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the other 3 meetings at Perry Barr in 2022. For Birmingham v Poole on 27/07/2022 12 + 2 {7}, For Birmingham v Plymouth on 13/07/22 7 (4}. And for Edinburgh at Birmingham on 08/06/2022 10 + 2 (7).

I certainly think the guest rules should be changed to make it harder for clubs to strengthen up when missing a rider. A simple change would be to remove the 5% extra for a home rider and make it -5% for an away guest (as you can chose a track expert). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Forecast looks better than it did a few hours ago, but still 50/50 which way decision will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Think there's been a minor error on the Scunthorpe website regarding the Birmingham team for tonight if it goes ahead. Castagna is obviously riding for Edinburgh tonight. I believe it's Zach Cook of Poole guesting for James Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
