MartinBSN 617 Posted September 3, 2021 The problem with allowing a signing for an injured rider after the cut off is who determines they're injured? Aarnio is no longer featuring for Scunthorpe but is riding elsewhere, but a magical sick note is being used in the UK. Any team could do the same to strengthen if needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you stay overnight in hospital then you are pretty injured. A sick note is when you are ill? And you get suspended for that anyway!

But some of the sick notes used in speedway are laughable! What I'm saying is it's open to manipulation. "Overnight" in a foreign hospital can be written be anyone with a blurry business card pretending to be a doctor! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still have a feeling we will have to use guests for rest of the season. Maybe the SCB or BSPA chairman can send a doctor for a home visit..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you need to look back and see why Greg came in? It wasn't strengthening, it was cos Chris Holder got injured. No way would either Holder get sacked from Poole no matter how they ride. Anyway a Sheffield fan reckons they can get a replacement in, so I'll go along with that Edited September 3, 2021 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,028 Posted September 4, 2021 Just guests then unless Stef is superman and can get back before season ends. Hopefully management is keeping an eye on who is good and where! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz9100 270 Posted September 4, 2021 I think we’ll use guests for the final few meetings before the play offs and see how Stefan is later in the month. I think it’s highly unlikely that he will be fit but you never know with these guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
