And they were expected to be at Oxford. So why would Joe T and ablitt be any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently NL riders champ takes precedence over everything or if they ride at Scunny, they get a 1 meeting ban? Not sure if any more meetings for Kent so Ablitt could turn up for Scunny. I am assuming Joe still got playoff final for Leicester? So would affect him more. So slightly baffling why this is arranged for Sunday, if Scunny can pretty much do any day?

Both are rearranged meetings so usually the senior fixture takes precedence. I'm sure Chairman Rob checked it out first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it. I'm sure regardless of what the rules say - or don't say after looking through them - the most convenient option will be followed anyway.

Sunday has always been our back up day (apart from Bank Holiday Mondays occasionally) Personally I detest Sunday afternoon racing at the EWR, track is always so dry and slick and always goes away from us mid meeting.

Whilst I imagine this is tongue in cheek - Lambert guesting on an assessed has set a precedent...and his average is lower than Kemp's!

Ryan555 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Looking at the confirmed NDL riders championship lineup both Ablitt and Joe Thompson are missing so looks like the KO cup final has taken priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When meetings are rearranged, like both are, I am pretty sure that the rules say that the "senior league" of the two takes priority... Just a shame the rearranged Cup Final was arranged on a day that everyone knew that the NDL flagship meeting was taking place... No surprise though as it is in keeping with the usual genric national marketing and planning strategy that they demonstrate so vividly each season...

Then again, I'm pretty sure the rules don't really say much. Maybe they've finally confirmed the qualifying criteria and you're not allowed to race if you're called "Joe Thompson" or "Nathan Ablitt". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously not going to happen but it is funny that we have this situation with Tarasenko. a) he can't guest because he's on an assessed average in his first season b) he's got an established average for Peterborough so is allowed to guest c) his average fits for Kemp so he's allowed to guest then d) his Peterborough average is too high so he can't guest A rider who simultaneously has an established average, while not having an established average, who is eligible to guest, but also isn't eligible to guest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
