lisa-colette 6,028 Posted August 29, 2021 Poole could always use a guest but Skidder seemed to think there wasn't many riders available. With having good reserves it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Nothing stopping Poole riding weekends apart from other teams riding on Sat and Suns who we still have to ride against I suppose.

You can only use a guest for your top 3 in averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny, Stefan, Ben and Danyon can take the rides - better than a very limited choice of possible under 5 point guests! The use of under 3.75 average guests was under a 'no facility' facility, any absence now of Basso would attract a normal facility which would be RR if he is the only rider absent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst idea ever. Should only be guests for reserves and then if two or more riders are missing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,274 Posted August 30, 2021 All those regulations needed... When just one was required... "You can't sign a rider that isnt available (if fit), for all your matches".. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And given the best reserve and the lowest second string are pretty similar, maybe no guest for him at all? Two rides for the second string, and two for No7.. And a No8 from the league below to replace the No7..? Two rides for No6 and two for No8.. And if two riders missing then only a guest if injury related, not fixture clashes, as that is avoidable.. In fact, maybe dont run any meeting that two riders from one team will be missing? Rearrange it... So many convoluted nonsense regulations have to get brought in due to a lack of strong leadership that prevents the need for them in the first place...

Col 854 Posted August 30, 2021 Sure sign Pugwashers have nothing else to do, meeting post very premature for a Perry Barr match! If Brum stop Poole getting 50 I'd be surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why bother with a young Danish rider whose club rides on a Wednesday causing a direct clash with our home meetings? There’s no doubt he is a talent and a top rider in the future, but if he can’t ride in the U.K. on Wednesdays during the Danish season, he’s going to be of little use to our club. Matt knew he would miss 2 meetings due to Danish League clashes but didn't think Fjelsted would also reach their play-offs, which they have. If Fjelsted win their semi, the final is on 15th September when Poole currently have no meeting!! Edited August 30, 2021 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,028 Posted August 30, 2021 Matt did say he wanted Basso for next season, but it seemed more of a 'we'll see..' situation. I guess it depends what his other commitments are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
