Not everybody is an anorak who will find the right website, then delve through the menus and sub-menus to find the written rules and regulations! Most people just don’t have the time either hence asking the question(s) on here. You clearly do and find it “easy”so help with the questions or don’t it’s your choice, but show a little humility eh? Apologies if you are self-righteously offended. I can't see the point of putting "I think it's x or y" when there are anoraks (who have bookmarks or saved copies of documents) who will confirm if you actually ask a question. In an age where some people believe whatever's posted without bothering to seek verification, it's better to ask than just waffle. The problem we do have, of course, if that even though there are Regulations, the BSPL has twice in the last couple of weeks decided to interpret the wording in a specific way, and also use an average that's not in the Green Sheets.

SpeedwayFan91 Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Lambert will ride for Sheffield at number 1 in both playoff final legs (if they do the obvious and get through)... the only question is, who will ride at 5 and 6 in the home leg of the final at Owlerton? As Lawson and Mountain can’t now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Lawson and Mountain can’t now I can’t see it being Harris as he guested for Ipswich in the Semi Final? Fricke is probably the best option, maybe Tarasenko if he fancies the booking?

You're right but this whole discussion is complicated by the fact that Tai is currently no.1 in the Sheffield averages but as of Sunday Tobi moves into the no.1 slot.

Whoops! Thank you. My bad - I should have checked (Aries will be chuckling ). That definitely makes it seem more complex than it needs to be - but that's British speedway ...

I can't find anything in the regs. to prevent this happening though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard on the grape vine that Harris will be guesting at 5 for Tai in the final, against the team that he helped make the final :S with Robert guesting at 1 for Musie obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chun Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 surely it’s an advantage for a team to be able to pick ‘horses for courses’. i’d prefer to see the same 1-7 for both legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Harris guesting for Sheffield .... So a rider in the play offs can't guest for another team .... but one not in the play offs can guest for 2 different teams .. Rule book really needs a long overdue rewrite.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
