If the answer is yes then surely Ipswich should have a Rising Star Guest for Dan Thompson rather than Rider Replacement, As per the rulebook as he is in the top 5 R/R is an available option Edited July 13 by Witches1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is yes then surely Ipswich should have a Rising Star Guest for Dan Thompson rather than Rider Replacement, Yes - for Ipswich it's Dan Thompson even if he isn't riding It is the team declaration that has the stipulation - any given meeting it could be different if one or more are missing Facility as per the regs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 If he drops back to reserve then he would have to replaced as a rising star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 So it’s in the Witches interests to keep Rew’s average lower than Thompsons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 13 minutes ago, The Third Man said: If he drops back to reserve then he would have to replaced as a rising star Yes, which is a huge problem for us. He’s literally irreplaceable, even more so than Doyle. You’re looking at replacing a rider that can chip in 5/6/7 points a meeting, potentially more back down at reserve, to a rider with all due respect who will struggle to score a point. That’s a double figure+ swing in the team scores, it’s absolutely massive. The advantage we had over the likes of Sheffield, was a stronger reserve pairing having either Rew or Dan Thompson down there along with Jenkins. That advantage would disappear immediately. We have to wait until we find out the extent of the injury and the timescale of a potential return. If it’s a worse case scenario, then the club might have to shelve any plans they had for a Doyle replacement and come up with a different strategy that involves making two changes. A couple of 5/6 pointers instead of a single direct replacement for Doyle might be the order of the day. Clock is ticking though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, The Third Man said: If he drops back to reserve then he would have to replaced as a rising star As far as I understand it, if Dan's average drops & Rew's average rises then, yes, Dan would drop to reserve BUT at the RS no7 where, if still unfit a guest option is available of a RS who is not in a current Premiership team.

Crucial that the Witches finish top in order to avoid a trip to the NSS in the SF's. BV poor around Foxhall but Monday might just be the turning point for them if Rew doesn't put up a dozen+ 51-39 54-36 41-49 44-46 38-52 47-43 P6W3L3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for the good of speedway they get a full team back as nobody likes seeing guests week in week out Apart from the BSPL. The rule is for the last quarter of the season plus play offs and cups etc, teams MUST use guests if they are already operating R/R. Necessary evil? Not now, it’s the (unnecessary) rule and just at the point of the year when media attention is at it’s highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
