FFS read above. Average to high. Otherwise yes. He would have been 1st choice.

Who is going to score paid 6 in the away meeting at KL? Is anyone available who has managed anything like that this season? 

There would be a certain irony if etheridge came back as a guest though, if only for the sake of the Berwick stevebrum (copyright bagpuss) who has popped up in the style of the horror track stalker just to troll Aces threads recently, lol!

The fact is the three crashes on that horrific night at the horror track (multiple crashes, two riders forced to withdraw and now two riders with season ending injuries and the pillocks cheer and laugh at the crashes!!) only added to our injury woes. Once Bewley was injured our chances more or less evaporated but a fit Riss gave us a slim chance of making a fist of it, hence giving him the opportunity to ride through the injuries. 

The heavy defeat in the 1st leg of the KO Cup just confirmed what everyone knew after the carnage at the horror track and we move on.

The Cradley fan ranting  crap again

Best option as a guest has to be Zach Wajtknecht

Zach has not impressed in recent appearances at either the NSS or at King's Lynn but he has the ability to do better and I would certainly consider him as a possible.

I'd say on current averages the selection would be between Zach, Pickering, Etheridge, Starke, Jonas Andersen, Todd Kurtz and Robson. At home we are restricted by not being able to use the same guest within 8 days.

Hardly a selection to give credence to the conspiracy theorists.

Belle Vue should not be allowed a replacement. No changes after 15th August. Rules are clear. Riss is not injured. 6 riders only should be the MC ruling.

They are not seeking a replacement but are entitled to a guest facility for a rider withholding his services. What's so difficult to understand?

What do the rules say about when a rider absences himself and tells his employers he will not be turning up for work?

Withholding his services my arse. 

Belle Vue are cheating to strengthen after the 15th August. Simple as that.

If a rider withholds his services after 15th August its r/r for top 5 and if a reserve they should have to go with 6. 

Simple as that.

16.5 FACILITIES

16.5.1 A Team may utilise a "Facility" to cover the absence of a Rider(s) who: 

j) is in dispute with his Club, provided that the circumstances have been accepted by the MC, who will determine the Facility and period of the rider’s inactivity

The evidence that he is effectively withholding his services comes from his communication with Ipswich. I am not aware of a facility being refused in such circumstances. Precedent therefore dictates that a facility should and will be granted for both Ipswich and Belle Vue.

surely paul starke would be a huge improvement at reserve if he came in for riss  

He averaged 4.00 when he did 4 matches for us this year although, that was guesting for Worrall so he may do better at reserve. His CL average is about the same as Riss.

Looking at those available I don't think there is anyone guaranteed to do better. Etheridge would do better at home but was poor away. We could get lucky and get one of them on a good night but they can all equally have bad nights.

You are doing a great job of making yourself look stupid once again.

You state rules are clear............yet quite clearly you do not know them.

Riss has got an injury to his knee and did it again at Wolves recently ....but yet you would have to know whats going on outside of Poole and you dont.

Now that injury might not be that bad................but have a little look at the riders available to replace Riss..........it isnt that great.......and he also got 6 at Kings Lynn earlier........eill his replacement do that?

Poole have been the biggest rule benders over the last 10 years , now its on the other foot you cry foul..........nothing more than a joke.

Hans Andersen...season ending injury........replaced by Lindback a gp star.....then rides again.................guess that was ok...................and who can forget the heat 10 fiasco at Belle Vue.

You believe the rules are a team has to go with 6.......................you are clearly a strange individual
