If a rider has an established MA in both Premiership and Championship leagues the MA for the league for which the rider is guesting, will be used. If the rider does not have an established MA in that particular league then the conversion factor of 1.6 will apply d) the guest assumes the position and MA of the missing rider. A guest rider in a ‘double header’ shall count as one meeting only e) no rider, whose team is in the play offs may appear as a guest in the play offs, in that league. I'm guessing the factor of 1.6 is wrong? That would have made Hans Andersen ineligible to guest for Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted June 25, 2021 Pedersen doing really well in this league and better than I thought to be fair - good on him. Always liked him since i seen him have a classic race with Fryer at Swindon in 00/01. His gating alone will score him top points 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There ya go has the 8 day period been amended to a 7 day period in the supplementary regulations because that was what the whole discussion was about and like I said "So Riveting" I just tuned out but the rule was either changed or was being discussed to be changed due to the shortage of riders... Then after much debate it was decided that it didn't matter anyway because it was our No1 who was out... Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant gater and meticulous equipment, with an attention to detail. Fellow Dane Pierre was his mechanic in those days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was riding for Swindon, and crashed at Berwick breaking his leg badly. Knowing where he originated from I thought I should help him. I took him underclothes, socks, papers, sweets, etc, in and visited everyday. One day Ken Marshal turned up and we then started to work out how we could transport him nearer home and family. Eventually we got the hospital to allow his release, and Ken got a friend with an estate car, with the seat dropped down, for Paul to be able to lie flat on a board for the trip. We kept in touch and I always talked with him when went to Newport and he was good to get to know. Unfortunately his suicide changed all that, but my contact continued through Brian Woodward and Paul's wife who continued to send Xmas cards for many year afterwards. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great guy was Fryer , and a superb rider too. In his pomp round Swindon he was nigh on untouchable - I remember even Wato and Smarty a couple of times couldnt get close to him round there. Brilliant.
