I still say Birmingham should get as many Leicester riders to guest as possible. Only team to win at Poole this season so far. Guests is really going to be an issue on Friday night. We have chosen to run r/r for basso as no one suitable. 4 sides already riding, Plymouth have no fit heat leaders to choose from, Leicester's are all too high. Leaves very few options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leaves very few options Yeah, just looking at averages and availability it is difficult. Not sure who do r/r for but if everyone was a guest apart from Sedge of course, could be: 1. Etheridge or Mountain (Vissing) 2. Batch (Auty) 3. Dillon Ruml - guess he is available with USA out now (Morris) 4. Dan Thompson (Nielsen) Actually Dan and Dillon fit for both Morris and Nielsen, do whichever way round you want! 5. Heeps (Shanes) 6. Joe Thompson or Ben Morley - only Plymouth rider available! (Pearson). It is possible but not many options for each position so would need riders not turning it down! Prob r/r for Vissing?

GiveusaB 1,135 Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) James Wright ? Paul Starke ? Don't think it matters who rides....B'ham will be better off keeping costs down and use the cheapest options ! At the end of the day, there won't be many b'ham fans there, so why make it 'competitive' just to please Poole fans ?

Can't remember a season like it for number of guests at every meeting. Must be some kind of record. Ruml at least is value for money, very entertaining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no comparison. Will Bournemouth be fielding a load of players from other clubs?

Could have Starke for Vissing, but they may do r/r for him, so everyone can take a ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very silly comment methinks lol The argument was not to fun as the meeting would not be competitive. Not about guests which is a completely separate argument. The meeting must go ahead regardless of the guests argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BROCK 76 Posted July 28, 2022 I seem to remember, many moons ago when Tony R was riding for the Pirates at an Oxford meeting, he didn't turn up as he was ill. Poole got fined for tracking an under strength team. A meeting incidentally that we won. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
