But what would you rather see R/R every week or a side with a full 7 ? Because with the availability of riders riding in Europe and having other matches in the same league and then trying to get someone who is the correct fit average wise it is highly unlikely that you will end up finding a guest if you bring in a rule like that 

In the 3 scheduled matches last night there were 6 guests and 2 r/r in place.

The sport loses credibility with every turn of a wheel.

Changes need making

Why don't Plymouth fans like Scunthorpe? I'm obviously missing something!

When we came back to League racing in 2006, we burst Plymouth's bubble with 2 great teams in 06 & 07 winning almost everything.

All stems back to the conference days,and how there promoter seems to run the sport his way and his way only.

Godfrey was not even on the board in the conference days so could not run the sport his way.

Albert I completely agree about devil Darren he is a complete bell end and I’m so glad he has bugger all to do with our club anymore and like you say long may the rivalry continue for once we got the bragging rights this season.

Careful Mike, you might get yourself banned from the forum & we will miss your banter.:rolleyes: One of our fans called a poster a be## ##d on Friday night & subsequently got banned. :sad:

Why not let other team members take more than one r/r ride.Say if your number one was missing,let your numbers 3and5 take two of his rides each.

6 man teams built to about 34 or 35 reducing chances of top heavy teams, Brit at reserve.

 All non declared riders go into a "guest riders pot" but limited to number of appearances per team.

I think the 6 man teams are a very realistic prospect given the current situation regarding availability of heat leaders

Brexit hasn’t helped rider availability and the number of Aussie & American rider numbers are down compared to years ago  

Plus this is my first post since my 5 day ban on here ,so won’t be responding to a certain Leicester fan

Whilst I don't disagree with 6 man teams, I think make it more difficult for younger riders coming through as no reserve position as such. Was looking through some programs from 97 last time was 6 man teams and were no heat 2/8/12/14 kind of heats. 

Suppose that could be created but certainly no "easy" heats and would always be up against a HL
