As confirmed 2 posts earlier, and per the rules quoted in the post immediately above yours?

Ha ha. Yes indeed. I just did a quick check when I arrived at work and didn't check previous posts.

We are having trouble getting our pre-paid tickets in the post from "See"...is anyone else ?

Strangely, I have my ticket but still waiting for 2 child tickets to come

Have checked the rules. Reserve can also take a tac sub/joker.

Which is a massive gain. If you drop 6 points behind and Lambert is already out, you would be mad to use a joker on him as that means he only gets 5 rides. To make the most of tactics you have to use the joker on a tac sub ride. Now as the reserve doesn't have any rides of their own, giving a joker rider is ALWAYS a tac sub ride too.

 

Just another of the gains for having a good reserve that we now won't benefit from, yay!

So if Lambert and/or Doyle find themselves unfit for Saturday before meeting, replacements can be parachuted into their place with Jury's permission and it isn't a case of reserve moving up, and who do we think these would be? King or Nicholls for GB, Sam Masters or Brady K for Oz?

Do they still have Stuart Hall and Eddie Waring presiding over the SWC jokers or is jail and death getting in the way?

 

Used to love Jeux Sans Frontieres - a proper use of Eurovision rather than that song contest. Obviously BSI and the FIM are out to capture that once highly profitable demographic

I wonder how the powers that be came up with the idea of 'JOKER' ???

 

Team GB already played their joker...... by naming Rossiter as manager!

King or Nicholls for GB....

I do believe that Scotty still has no desire to ride for Team GB. If the right Danny King turns up, he could be a real asset.

Got to be King, next best option by some distance.

It has to be whoever can ride Kings Lynn the best......I guess?

Somebody who can gate ? hence why Harris will struggle?

More like who they think can ride Leszno best- do you honestly think the USA or Czech`s are going to trouble team GB at Lynn ??

[Bagpuss 10,779]

Bomber scored a straight fifteen max in his one Lynn appearance this year. That includes several passes, overtaking is difficult nowadays but not impossible. King has always been pretty good at Lynn whereas it's been a while since Scott looked really good there. He is very much a small track man nowadays.

Erm Harris scored a maximum at Kings Lynn this season

[Guest GiveusaB]

Blows my theory out the window then !

Hope he can repeat it......

On current season form, is he significantly better round KL than Richie Worrall?
