RoundTheBoards Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I think something has fallen through at the last minute, because at 9am this morning it seemed to be all systems go for Woffinden and his name was going in the programme. The redeclaration must have gone through since it's no facility for Woffinden rather than a facility for Holder. All seems odd, and I can understand the conspiracy theories with both teams being in the same ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the Leicester management will be using this as a benchmark for Troy, riding at the same number as a supposedly inferior opponent. Batch should be mindful that Mountain is without PL team and is also a Lions asset. I thought the home team had to declare their team first.

It was never allowed before, at least not for us Aces when we asked but Wolves got it through no problem so I’m sure as a Cartel team all will be spiffing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Very odd that Sheffield would drop Jack before Tai was available. After all Edinburgh announced Clegg but (before postponements) were going to use guests for Fredriksen for 2 away meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 This surely makes a home win much more likely - and therefore would mean Leicester (who are wobbling right now) and Sheffield will both make the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Just to be really pedantic, should Woffy get a 28 day ban for "witholding his services" Of course not, because he hadn't agreed to ride in this match (presumably the contract he signed starts from Monday). So my question is, why would Sheffield want to sign Woffy before Thursday & why would the BSPL allow the signing knowing he wasn't available, are neither worried about the "integrity" of the Sport? If we act like these are two separate promotions, it's out of order for Sheffield to turn up at Leicester without a full team (when it's totally avoidable) as it could harm their crowd, I almost feel like Sheffield should get a guest at the away match, but use the 75% guest at their next home match, so it only hinders their crowd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a wobble. well you know that massive home loss on Monday, Leicester looked a pale shadow of the side i saw at Owlerton about 1 month ago. the fact one of your riders is likely now out for the season with a ban and the fact the club have just announced its up for sale - (which is a great shame I hope thats sorted) - Id say its not been the best couple of weeks!

Phil The Ace Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Surely Bates would want Woffy there to bring in the crowds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
