Guest WTF1 Posted October 19, 2018 Now confirmed that Ricky Wells is the guest for Scunny on Sunday for the KO cup final and Iv'e no problem with that but it does highlight speedway's ridiculous guest riders system, last Saturday I was at Peterborough with Wells trying to stop Scunny reaching the final, this Sunday Wells is riding for Scunny trying to win the ko cup for us, surely a rule should be implemented where you can only guest for 1 club in the KO cup and when your club is out of it ,or am I just being too sensible.

Byker Biker 471 Posted October 19, 2018 I'm hearing that a race formula is being considered where some team members don'trace their opposite number so that only one guest is required for the meeting and he can ride for both teams. It's so that Ricky Wells and Adam Ellis don't have to race against themselves next year and they can ride for both teams in the playoffs, TV will love it!

Auty 8.36 +5% extra home allowance takes it up to 8.78 ( shows next column in averages) Therfore Wells 8.40 is allowed. 5% is only used for the home team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the sensible reply and not a single mention of a dodgy promotor, I was looking at the wrong average column, no wonder no one understands any of it :S Edited October 19, 2018 by Liz !!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
