Sayfutdinov 2. Riss 3. Douglas 4. B. Cook 5. Doyle 6. Rew 7. D Thompson HL Res 8. King - covers any missing heat leader who has a higher average SS Res 9. Hume - covers any 2nd string or Reserve who has a higher average RS Res 10. J. Thompson - covers for any missing reserve or rising star Worst case scenario if Doyle and Emil were missing together King comes in for Emil, 4th highest avg becomes 3rd heat leader and Hume comes in as a 2nd string or no.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say tip of the iceberg and so much more than just the play off picture Ipswich - Potentially should've been only RR available. I even posted on the semi thread that RR was my preferred option. Harris guesting though, whilst undesirable, was 100% within the regs as they stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know were to start pulling your idea apart..but it's insane if think your going to find 7 Danny King types who are just going to wait to earn money for a call up in case a rider gets injured.. its just the normal when someone moans about the current rules they come up with ideas that can't work in practice.

DJC Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Lambert and Harris confirmed for Sheffield for both legs! Mountain at Sheffield and Etheridge at Ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshiretyke Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 But yet, the only reason why Ipswich are even in the final is due to a Peterborough team (that made as many, if not more changes than Sheffield) winning an unlikely tie on aggregate against Leicester after improving their team massively. But of course, that was all fine!! Sheffield made changes when certain riders were underperforming, Ipswich didn't despite many fans calling for King (at that point) and Riss to go. Are Sheffield any stronger with guests than with Tai and Tobi, not on paper but could be. Are they any stronger than the first team put together, not really. It is what it is!! Lets just hope for a great close final and may the best team win! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have no problem with Sheffield using Guests, but I have with the guests they are using. Lambert is on an assessed average and Harris rode for us in the other semi. There are three teams Sheffield could pick riders from and if another team has used a rider in the play-offs he shouldn't be allowed to ride for another. They should have to pick from Lawson, Sedgmen, Kerr, Laguta, Tarasenko, Basso, Iversen or Palm-Toft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich should stop moaning and get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERACE Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 It's a shambles that Chris Harris can guest For Sheffield having already rode for Ipswich. The rules are making a joke of the sport again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 No assessed averages and that is what Lambert is on, and in the best interest of speedway Harris shouldn't ride for Sheffield having already rode for Ipswich, makes the sport look so amateurish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris rode in the semi final so he should fall under the same rules as Belle Vue and Wolves riders. It makes no sense that this is allowed to happen. The Rules again are making a mockery of the sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could ride some weeks others not A fair few riders available for the 2nd rising star spot Might entice some other riders back for a squad place Tungate, Bjerre, Thorsell, Michelsen, Thomsen etc Might attract some younger european riders to take a squad place Might even attract riders like Vaculik, Lambert, Lindgren to share a no.1 berth Plus there are a few riders already in the championship who would like a squad place Thomsen, Etheridge, Batchelor, Knudsen etc. If you rode speedway and had a championship ride and no top flight ride, would you settle for a squad place in the top flight, absolutely you would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
