Er no he should be at Worky  exactly the same as Ablitt

Wasn't their chat on original staging if Atkins and boughen rode for Oxford against Redcar the punishment is one match Ndl suspension? And they were expected to be at Oxford. So why would Joe T and ablitt be any different?

Surely Joe T rides for Poole though, not...erm.. himself?

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?

They get banned from the next NDL fixture.

Both are rearranged meetings so usually the senior fixture takes precedence. I'm sure Chairman Rob checked it out first.:D

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.

Drew kemp is doubtful, taresenko on standby to guest for scunthorpe at reserve. 

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!

It would be the icing on the cake for the Poole meltdowns if it happens

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. 

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...:rolleyes:

I am pretty sure they don't. 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".

No I am afraid that cannot happen, Lambert was allowed due to him having ridden here before so he had a previous MA.

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.
