👍my mistake.

Think they mean more that Paco is riding instead of a guest tonight so the other 6 riders need to click together as Paco isn't the strongest round Ashfield (or at best not consistent)

I think it was Leon said in an interview that him and Dan are still getting used to riding with each other (knowing where each wants to go) so I think it's fine to leave riding order as is, if those 2 click together it makes it very difficult for the away team to get any momentum/make any tac subs against them.

Edinburgh website indicates Paco is riding !!

With Glasgow having already qualified, would it have been worth experimenting with the riding order?

If missing an official team match, then a non-speedway injury or illness gets a 7 day ban (medical certificate or not). But if he was injured riding Speedway then no ban. I'm not sure what happens for the British final as Lawson chose not to enter, the same for the Pairs & Klindt didn't ride in the riders championship.
