Don't think so as sure he has guested during this season in the Championship. Just have to convert his Prem average.

Yes you could be right?!  Maybe he covered for Rory early on......?

Or Redcar when King was injured? Can't remember exactly who it was.

Yeah it was Redcar.

Whatever guest we use Ben is not replaceable and we go into the final against Oxford weakened. Great news he could make the KO Cup and BSN finals.

To be fair Ben only scored 5+2 on both visits to Oxford this season!!

It’s always quite amazing how Poole are always weakened when using guests but the opposition are always stronger when they have guests.

He's been to Cowley 6 times this year. Twice with Belle Vue, once as a guest and in the Pairs for Poole, as well as the two you refer to. Although he's only scored double figures once he's always looked capable of doing so.

Yes but track wasn't great then and his form has picked up since then also. 

and he wouldnt be racing against poole riders 

if its bomber thats a cracking replacement

They should let Wright ride for Poole at Oxford even if he has rode already in the playoffs. Having Nicholls vs Wright again would be great again for ''Commercial Reasons'' would it not? 😂

Well Harris for Ben at Poole is about equal. At Oxford we are a bit restricted.

Weather looks awful all week

[Dickie Head]

Don’t forget the Cheetah’s are looking for two guests as well. They will be just as important.

What a weird sport this is. A contracted Oxford rider riding against his own club in a Play off final, no wonder it’s a laughing stock.

I know that. Imagine if a Oxford first team footballer played for the opposition reserves against Oxford reserves, laughable really.

This could've happened a great many times even without riders guesting this year!

Masters Leicester vs Oxford

Jenkins Ipswich vs Oxford

Harris Glasgow vs Oxford

Wright Redcar vs Oxford

Kerr Berwick vs Oxford

Kemp Berwick vs Oxford

Cook Workington vs Oxford

All of these riders may have ridden against Oxford while being signed for Oxford in another league.
