Baring in mind both Morris and Bowtell have ridden for Newcastle, and Morris hit form at Birmingham on Wednesday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,103 Posted July 24, 2021 Not much to choose between Wethers and Howarth around Newcastle and it’s hard finding guests who have low enough averages and ride well around Brough so I’m ok with the guests chosen. Still fancy it will be a home win, not confident our heat leaders enjoy riding the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake loves a bit of a trick track that he can lockup on. And Wrighty just gets on with it regardless. If Morris can ride like Wednesday, Thompson like his visit there the other week it could make for an interesting meeting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit harsh on Summers, granted he hasn't started this season great but he normally rides our place pretty well. If the opportunity ever arose for us to sign him i'd snap him up straight away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topsoil 2,498 Posted July 25, 2021 If I was looking to get a refund for tickets bought for the postponed Plymouth match and the ticket agency won't reply to my emails, who would you suggest I contact? Suggestions please Newcastle fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 Can someone clear this up please? Dan Thompon down as a guest at reseve for Redcar tonight. according to the Leicester thread, his average on the latest sheets is 6.05, the question is, when does this take effect? if it's today, then he can't ride at reserve.

erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 It also says effective 7 days after last qualifying meeting which was 18/7 so which is correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,637 Posted July 25, 2021 10.2.1 A Premiership or Championship Assessed League rider will establish an MA after 4 home and 4 away fixtures. Becoming effective 7 days after the last qualifying meeting. Thompson's average is therefore most definitely 6.05 today - typo on greensheets notwithstanding) However I think Thompson remains a 2* Rising star and can therefore guest for Jenkins under: 012.4 Facilities – page 113 D) Absent 6 th rider by MA – Guest.D1) Absent Rising Star – Same star rider or lower.

erniew 163 Posted July 25, 2021 So, to continue the discussion, as Thompson is no longer a reserve, does his rising star rating take precedence over his average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he remains on the rising star list until it is revised. Note: this is an opinion based on the impression I have gained, I am not in the least bit certain that this is indeed the case.
