You can have a guest facility for a retired rider for 28 days which can be rolled over if you can show why you haven't been able to bring in a replacement. So it looks like guests up to Nathan's current average of 3.96 unless there is some special dispensation. William Lawson would fit average-wise but I don't think you can guest if not in a declared 1-7. Edited September 3, 2021 by eide67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eide67 199 Posted September 3, 2021 As far as I understand, yes. Unless there can be some sort of dispensation 'in the interests of speedway'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Announced as Archie Freeman tonight. Assuming guests henceforth, Bickley, Kinsley, & Edwards have lower GSAs than the retired Greaves. Seems Rising Stars are eligible with Freeman for Greaves tonight? Edited September 3, 2021 by cyclone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Averages don’t count for rising stars,it depends on what Average the Team was built on as to what grade of rising star you can use apparently!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems Rising Stars are eligible with Freeman for Greaves tonight? Yes, it must be so but presumably only if their actual average is less than 3.96 - so not Leon Flint for example.

That would be true if replacing a rising star which is not the case here. As with bowtel being too high to guest for neilsen at Poole because his gsa is higher despite not being declared in his own teams team building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
