CB252 1,376 Posted May 18, 2015 Dakota North or RR? I believe this was a known clash when Kildemand signed. A facility is probably appropriate in this instance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Dakota North or RR? I believe this was a known clash when Kildemand signed. A facility is probably appropriate in this instance. Like the time we had to go to Swindon with Todd Kurtz at number 1 in place of Emil Sayfutdinov? edit > it seems from chatting to someone else that all the international fixture list does is say that Kildemands priority is Sweden. It DOES NOT mean Swindon get a facility. Edited May 18, 2015 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted May 18, 2015 Monster Joe has given Kildemand a character reference to confirm that it's all above board and the Robins can have a guest. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 19, 2015 Dakota North or RR? I believe this was a known clash when Kildemand signed. A facility is probably appropriate in this instance. That's more of a reason not to have a facility. It would have been different if they signed him first not knowing. In the past you were never allowed one but maybe the rules have changed again although then why were Workington not allowed a facility at the weekend when Hansen had an international fixture clash? Guest options include Schlein, Holder, North, Watt, Karlsson, Bridger, Lawson, Zagar, Cook, Lambert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add that to the fact your reserves will score double what ours will and it will be a nice easy night for you lot. Edited May 19, 2015 by thecoombdog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest options include Schlein, Holder, North, Watt, Karlsson, Bridger, Lawson, Zagar, Cook, Lambert Dackarna are the only Swedish team not riding, hence Kylmakorpi being available for the Bees. So you can scrub out Schlein, Holder, Karlsson. As I said, North or RR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,723 Posted May 19, 2015 I'd question that. Swindon might say they're allowed a guest but I'd say they're not. Nothing in there about international fixture lists and priority. So what is rule C about if it isn`t about the international league fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I must say I'm surprised that Swindon have a facility for Peter in this match. It certainly didn't used to be the case when a rider was riding in another league. That's the way it is now, though. Guests have become so commonplace that they seem to be available for anything regardless of the rules. It wasn't that long ago that riders missing in this way had a 6 point PL guest or, failing that, were suspended. I remember Renat Gafurov being suspended from windon's side for missing a play-off semi and Swindon needed the facility to qualify so had to sacrifice him for the resst of te season. People may argue that guests are a neccesary evil, but it seems to be a bit out of control lately. Of course, Swindon could argue that, theoretically, they are replacing Adrien Miedzinski and his injury. But even AM is back riding in Poland.

But clearly SCB is more than happy to win at all costs...i imagine he's already sent his email to the authorities to question our use of a facility....

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted May 19, 2015 I think the big question should be why are Sky showing a meeting at all on a Tuesday when it is clearly Swedish league that night. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact guests are out of control is a massive problem but at the end of the day it's hardly fair for fans to be shortchanged if forced to use a pl 6 pointer...even if admission is potentially a fiver!

So presumably you'd also have no problem with, say, Poole also being allowed a guest even if it went against what is in the rule book? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted May 19, 2015 So what is rule C about if it isn`t about the international league fixtures. His own FMN would surely be the DMU (Denmark) but SVEMO(Sweden) so is it relevant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reliant Robin 492 Posted May 19, 2015 I think the big question should be why are Sky showing a meeting at all on a Tuesday when it is clearly Swedish league that night. Would have been 2 x Full strength teams when it was arranged looking at things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
