Could someone inform me. If a team wants a guest, do they need permission from any other club? If so which club. A rider may have two, or occasionally three teams in this country, and could be an asset of a different club. Could also ride for a team abroad.

It’s the clubs around Belle Vue ie the top 4 that they tend not to allow their top riders (Bewley & Kurtz) to guest for.  Know Lemon wouldn’t allow either of them to guest for Sheffield at Leicester last month.

Could make sense to let riders guest for the opposition of teams they want to lose.

OK. 
Leicester could have finished 4th when Dan guested for them but they just missed out on race points. I respect your right to your opinion though.

But it could come back to haunt them, if Belle Vue needs guests & the other teams return the compliment of not allowing Aces to use their riders.

So Emil is still in hospital and waiting for an operation before he returns home to Poland. Was hoping for a little more positive news than that. It was said he was likely to be out of Hospital at the weekend. 
 

We now have less than three weeks until the cup final against Sheffield. Hate being defeatist but it looks like we need snookers.

You have to wonder whether the club were still holding out hope (albeit slim) that he could be back for the play offs. It seems from reading that that he didn’t totally rule it out until his recent check up. Always better to be safe than sorry and do further damage by pushing it. Personally it just hasn’t been the same at Foxhall without him. Massive miss. Already looking forward to seeing him banging in the Foxhall maximums in March.

I am hoping they have a replacement plan for Jason and praying that Emil is back - I am reminded that TM supposidly asked for a team place for 2024 before ending up at KL for a while - maybe he might be a good play off signing. Am looking forward to Foxhall ion Thursday regardless my first meeting for a while!

Can’t sign anybody now even if a suitable rider becomes available. The powers that be would rather we used guests from other clubs.
