Manifesto Posted Sunday at 03:45 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:45 PM (edited) Weather forecast looking nice all week so no reason the track and conditions shouldn’t be top notch. Which brum will show up to owlerton will decide how close a contest it will be. Tobi and Zagar have speed round owlerton so I’m expecting them to be at it with the Sheff heat leaders. Big night for the reserves to make a statement for me on both teams and I feel that is there the contest will be won or lost prediction 51-39 Edited Sunday at 03:50 PM by Manifesto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes to Tai on a speedy recovery.Not one of my favourite riders anymore,but i don't like to see any rider get injured.I hope sincerely the injuries he has sustained aren't as bad as feared and he makes a comeback soon.

Surely the higher ups will give Sheffield a facility in the best interests of the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth started the season without Covatti when he got injured riding in Argentina, so why wouldn't we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are well and truly screwed as it’s same as last year all pressure on Holder bros. We can’t replace Tai he is a huge personality in the pits and he rides every track in uk well. Only riders who come close are Lambert, Lindgren and maybe Anders Thompson? Don’t think any want to ride UK at this point in year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted Sunday at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:29 PM Can see Sheffield brining in a rider with a lower average for Thursday whose UK based and only riding Championship at moment (Worrall, Schlein if want to come out of retirement) and the other two meetings in April. Then after new averages issued make another change and replace Hume with a 5ish pointer like Kerr, Sedgman, Castagna etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted Monday at 06:44 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:44 AM Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the rule was, that as Tai has not yet ridden, we can use a guest up to 75% of his average (and if correct would mean Chris Harris eligible).

Yes, but I'm pretty sure we are [rightly] in special dispensation territory here. After all if Poole had managed to make it to the tapes for the KO Cup Sheffield (and Tai) would already have ridden, just like every other team. I would expect a 100% guest (105% at home) for 28 days. That would make Dan Bewley the obvious choice for Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will get a facility for a month and then be able to use a guest of up to 75% of his average after that.That's what happened at Lynn last season when Musielak got injured.
