Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 23, 2018 Unfortunately there isn't anything until double up stops..then can only use guests from a different division...which is slightly less bonkers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taylorj 1,000 Posted August 23, 2018 How crazy .. Ippo have 2 guests who race for teams against them in the play-offs saying that Ty is very professional and will race his socks off. I just get twitchy when your riders start racing for other teams and you really need them back safe for their own team 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind it being slightly less eventful than the 2015 meeting, though. That was one of the most bonkers meetings I've ever been to, with controversy, a sit-down protest, punch-ups and a subsequent ban for one of the riders.

We're going to miss them tonight. For Scunny, even if we max out in the final 4 fixtures, it's probably not enough, but Witches still have a chance. Come along tonight and see if your lads can take the league points - because it's not too late for you guys. I just hope for a cracking meeting and a Scunny win, so we go up a place or two. And that the reserves really start to fire, ready for our two forthcoming semi-finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was every chance of a Massif road trip until last night - very much enjoyed our visit last time With it looking however very much like the Witches have 'given up' we have too The side tonight is a better one than that offered up at home as will be the track and prep no doubt That may well mean the Witches have a far better chance of a win. Even 4 points will not be enough to keep us in the play off picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
June 203 Posted August 24, 2018 23 hours ago, montie said: but what is the alternative to guests? Riders who achieve a certain top average should be based only in the one league. exception being for reserves ….top league with lower average riders from Cham league. Same applied for Cham league using Nat league riders in reserve. Also every team have a No 8. It gives reserves more experience to further their progress, plus it could save having only 3 riders in a race, I know it don't happen that much. Years ago we used to have No 8's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
