RS50 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Is this correct? Sheffield have to use rider replacement for Ellis, who is trying to help his country become World champions, but Wolverhampton can use three guests, because their riders wish to sit on the beach?.

They have no facility for Douglas or Worrall as they are the ones on holiday.That is why the guests for those two are of a lower standard. Sheffield could have a guest for Ellis,but as they chose to have a guest for Kerr instead they couldn't for Ellis.Sheffields choice,obviously feel Sedgemen will do a job for Kerr.

Surely they are guests that are of "a lower standard" only due to not having any other options? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 There will be as many Lions as Wolves riders at the meeting even though Leicester aren’t involved! ……..Only in British Speedway! (as we say….at least every week…. for the last decade or more). It really is like picking footy teams at lunchtime in the school playground.

Wolfsbane Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) If Sheffield are adamant that tomorrow is the only free date they have available it will be a bugger for them if it's rained off.

Having no facility means you have to have riders under a certain average to guest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it will be on. Forecast to become dry tomorrow morning. With no other dates, and Sheffield in a good position to get a win and the aggregate point, the effort will be made.

FromBendThree Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 ‘Holiday’ riders should get a 14 day ban and Wolves a hefty points deduction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
