There's no such rule as NL guest anymore, if you don't qualify for a facility then they'd be able to use a guest up to 75% of Kemp's average.

If you choose to then miss a league match in your own country to ride abroad you should be given a NDL 3.00 guest, not benefit from it. I'm sure it's the promoters who vite for the rules regarding missing riders, so they won't have too harsh a rule i.e having to use a 3.00 NL rider in case it ever happens to them!

I assume Scunthorpe & Wolves got "special dispensation" because Becker & Kennedy had ridden for them in the previous season?

Factually he slide off in his first ride on the final bend when tailed off. Completed two more rides in which he scored. Then he withdrew from the meeting on medical advice, thus insuring Plymouth could use guests or R/R all season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not looked at 2024 rules but it’s been the rule for some time that a facility was available for a rider included in an initial declaration, that is at the start of the season, injured before they can take their place so facilities were available for Becker and Kennedy, part of the initial declarations, but not Thompson who was named in a redeclaration. No dispensations required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) As some will know, the invaluable Shielfield track staffers are working very hard this spring, moving the start line and changing/upgrading the safety fencing. Less than five weeks to Launch Night/Press'n'practice weekend! Edited February 19 by crescent girl 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting (to a self-confessed track anorak), why is start line being moved please and where to; forward or back from its current position ? For interest, similar 'football / rugby tracks', as described by Shane Parker, at Hull's Boulevard the S/L was approx half way along the home straight but was moved 10ft or so nearer turn 1 mid 1980 or '81 as the outside starting gate mechanism obscured something relevant to the rugby club (I forget what exactly). At Craven Park the start line was always about 1/3 along the home straight, from turn 1, and remained there throughout. I did say I was a track anorak ....

Good to see modifications being made by the promotion. 5 minutes ago, StevePark said: What Berwick would do for a crowd like that these days! Probably not just Berwick would like crowds like that.
