The Workington team can't be much worse than the tosh that Newcastle put out at home last weekend, hopefully a Diamonds win on the cards now to stop the rot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cometbaz 67 Posted August 11, 2018 Simple answer is you should be allowed a guest for any missing rider. I know there will be arguments when people will say that teams are using a facility to strengthen up but as long as it is a rider with the same average then so be it. The public pay to see 7 riders not the crap that will be served up tomorrow. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The public pay to see 7 riders not the crap that will be served up tomorrow. On the flip side of that, some of the paying public want to see continuity within a team, not just any Tom, Dick or Harry turning up. I agree it could be acceptable if riders are injured etc. but not if a rider just fancies riding elsewhere whenever it suits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
