According to Peterborough Tungate has struggled for fitness in recent meetings so was ruled out. So he didn't fancy it and Peterborough knew they would be better off without him. 

If he was genuinely struggling for fitness for whatever reason (previous crash?) then having the night off rather than riding a minefield track was probably sensible.

My dad said at the start of the season, who are the favourites this year? KL? See if he's right in time! 

KL are already a very different team, with the addition of Cook and soon Riss will be back. If they can't get into the top four ( of a pitiful seven ) with that team then I will be stunned.

Now not sure if the rule still exists,, but it used to be you couldn't drop a rider,, in this case Riss,,, and then re introduce them the same season.

You can if its an injury i believe 

[Baldyman 6,243]

Mmmm not so sure,,,, cos that's why there is a 28 day injury replacement rule,  which you wouldn't need if you could re declare again

The rules and regs change every year, wouldn’t be surprised if that one has changed or even disappeared.

Seems Lynn will do it with Riss and Scunthorpe are doing it with Jedd List,  another case of the rules dont apply or can be just side stepped for Chapman and Godfrey.

From the rule-book.

16.3.2 A rider in a Team's declared 1 - 7 at the end of the previous season and not included in that Team’s new season’s initial declaration may not be subsequently re-introduced into that Team without the express permission of the Directors. 16.3.3 No Team changes will be allowed after 28th August with the effective date being 31st August, except for riders returning to the Team after injury who must re-take their position, dictated by their MA with their replacement being released. 16.3.4 The BSPA Directors monitor all proposed moves and have the sole responsibility to approve all (re-)Declared Team Line-Ups having been satisfied they are in the best interests of the sport.

 

So nothing about re-introducing a rider during the season- however the Directors could block it.

[Baldyman 6,243]

So in that case,, there is no longer any need to have a 28 day injury replacement.   Or is that not in the rule book either

That depends on who is asking

It seems like Adam Ellis was on a Troy Batchelor esque guarantee from someone

The KL current league position is completely misleading because of their lack of home meetings. If you look at the home points dropped versus away points gained they are presently +3 and only Ipswich are better at +4.

The addition of Cook strengthens them significantly and if Riss returns they will be even stronger. 

I would make them favourites to top the league.

A bit late to the thread this morning but can't really add too much, other than why all this KL stuff on the Pirates v Panthers thread?

Good meeting last night and well done to the Panthers who thoroughly deserved the win as they attacked  the track much better  than the Robins on Monday.

Track was better although still needs work, which I'm told is scheduled for the 2 week break before the next Cup fixture (interesting reading the 2 articles in the Speedy Star this week by MF and Middlo!!).

More importantly for the speedway purists, there was some superb racing last night with overtaking, undertaking and (I think) only 2 falls - Starke and K,Anderson - the latter being way out of his depth!!.

A couple of very strange 2 minute disqualifications by the ref - Ronnie Allen - one for each side, Nicholls and Covatti, both of which got the grandstand on their feet?!

Nothing further to say about the Pirate guests other than it was Ellis or King? I think after Monday most would have rightly gone with Adam, but hey ho some you win some you don't.

A final well done to Jack, Josh, Hans and BWD for making it a super exciting meeting.

Lets hope the track works don't play too much into KL's hands on 13th?!
