dave1075 Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Notice that Lee Complin has been brought into guest for Dan Thompson at No2. So have the rules changed as Thompson has yet to ride a race for Plymouth & would of thought that R/R was the only option. Also wasn’t guests only allowed for anyone of the top 3 riders in the team.

As I understand no facility other than a guest at 0.75 the average of rider being replaced. Maths not my strong suit but assume Lee must fall into that category 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Charles injury (and the fact it’s R/R and not a guest) is a massive blow to the Bears chances. Edited August 15, 2023 by Yearbyred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah kinda surprised a Poole rider not guesting? Stevie, or either Cook's are normally pretty decent at Plymouth. Although maybe too short notice. Zach maybe doing U24s in Poland. Also fighting for similar league position, so maybe too strange even for British Speedway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably try and get one of the Poole lads to guest tomorrow night.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 'no facility' guest - I.e. up to 75% of replaced rider's average. Can't use R/R as there is no facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fighting for similar league position, so maybe too strange even for British Speedway! I don't think Redcar are a threat to Poole finishing top, so I see no issue with a Poole rider guesting. I do find it interesting that many riders bemoan lack of fixtures, but clubs can still struggle to find guests at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No facility for Dan as mentioned elsewhere so RR not permitted. The facility for the top three by average is a guest or RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
