I quote the Edinburgh website:
"We did make considerable efforts to bring Bastian Borke back over for the event, He was willing to do it and we had a driver to take his van down, but unsurmountable problems prevented this happening."

What about Thomsen or Clegg who are based in this country?

He would sign for the club if his current club Oxford hadn’t banned him form signing for another team.

Could such  an imposition actually be even legal ?  It's not the rider's fault he was dropped in favour of Boughen.  If he is not required surely he would be free to seek employment elsewhere ?

I doubt been enforced but I assume what Oxford have said is we're planning you and boughen at reserve next season both on 2s. If you go sign for someone and get a proper average then the team place is gone. Whereas if he rides as NDL guest I don't believe his fixtures count towards an average.

Edinburgh did the same with Edwards couple years ago

If I was Killeen, I'd have told Oxford to stuff it! Even if he averages over 2.00 he's very likely to find another Championship club. I'd even be tempted to walk out of the Oxford NL side, while I was on a 3.00 average.

Might be cause for a separate thread... but.... is it time to scrap the Pairs?

It seems that if it is not a league meeting the riders are not interested. Are the pay scales that different between these events and a league match? Those that run the sport need to get a grip and deal with those who duck these events and the riders need to respect the punters who pay good money to watch a meeting and each and every rider who effectively sticks two fingers up and each and everyone of us who pay good money to watch should be shown the door. This is no longer a sport for professionals who seem to think they are owed a living, it is a part time occupation alongside a proper job and those riding should cut their cloth accordingly. Those that duck out of these type meetings should be banned from x number of league matches. The riders seem to believe that they are actually owed a living and look to anyone but themselves but get real and find another job if you cannot make speedway pay, don’t take the p...out of the punters.

Just got in and catching up. What the hell have they done to the track? Riders struggling to turn their bikes. Lawson doesn’t seem to want to know lucky I didn’t go this time. But if he isn’t fit, surely Pirates could have used a different rider tonight.

Charles Wright knocks somebody off... who would have thunk it?

Has he got some info on the refs?

Gifted the CLRC by knocking off a rider in the final and no exclusion. Takes off Lambert tonight on second bend and all four back. 
 

Wright fell on his own back straight. All four back? 
Edit: I said that as a joke and the ref has put all four back! What the actual F*€K?

Both Edinburgh and Plymouth should  be fined for putting out weak pairs. Worrall should be banned from riding as a guest for teams in the play-offs e.g. Edinburgh.

Why?  He's aggravated an injury and is going to seek medical advice to try and get it sorted.
