NeilWatson 1,988 Posted February 7, 2020 9 minutes ago, IronScorpion said: Didn't Wolves use it for Nick Morris(I still do not know how as he didn't ride for them the previous year) but Danny is a "roll over" rider from last year so is not new to the team. This area was talked about a bit last year but with no definitive answer. The rule (Art16.5.2) is: For an absent rider with a) an assessed MA b) has been approved in a team’s declared line-up at the start of the season a 28-day Facility may be granted at the Directors discretion. This would seem to cater for a case where a 1-7 has been declared and a rider becomes unavailable in the very early part of the season (perhaps injured riding for his PL Club on a Thursday before a Friday CL meeting).

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted February 7, 2020 I have just been through last years Wolves Updates/results where Nick did not ride in meetings Early April to Mid May so his 28 day facility must have been extended. On further reading, he received a knock to his wrist, ruling him out of the meeting v Birmingham, so this must have been a pre-season injury in testing/practice.

Tosh1218 592 Posted February 7, 2020 Agree 100 % but in real terms it's 8 weeks till the first official fixture as a Scunthorpe team, we as fans will always be eternally grateful to have seen Danny on track,in the clubhouse and just been Danny in and around the Team . It's going to be a strange season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The passing of Danny Ayres is a tragedy and we as fans have paid our respects by posting messages of condolence on here and other parts of social media, of course there will be other on here closer to the Ayres family who have paid their tributes personally. My post was a perfectly reasonable answer to a perfectly reasonable question posted the other day. How ever hard, the management at both Scunthorpe and Ipswich will need to sign a rider, when that will happen of course is up to each club. 15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed It's right and respectful that Scunthorpe and Ipswich will want to wait until after Danny's Funeral on the 14th and possibly the post mortem, before making any announcements of team plans and replacements but as with any sport and facet of life as the saying goes "the show must go on" as it will with a lot of respects paid to Danny to come all over the UK no doubt. That's as it should be! Edited February 9, 2020 by HGould punctuation 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's as it should be! If it was my club I'd wait till after the funeral then press on with team plans. As upsetting as losing a rider is, they will eventually have to carry on with the sport! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted February 10, 2020 I can imagine a facility where Danny's race jacket is not used for a month and covered by RR as a mark of respect would be allowed, and even the most anti Godfrey fans surely couldn't find fault in that? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s what happened after Lee Richardson died. In fact I think it was about two months before Lakeside signed a replacement and Lee’s position in the pits remained empty in that period as I recall.
