Two good guests, would not surprise if Ipswich won. I think it is ok having guests for a re-arranged fixture.

Is that the ‘we are the people’s champions’ or does that risk alienating half the fanbase 😉 -
Not all clubs pay riders on a weekly basis so some riders will always be behind with their owed earnings. That could be to do with waiting till they stage their next home meeting to generate income. I know who you assist and did hear the issues he discussed with you know who, who stated it would be settled very soon, knowing the club involved I don’t think there’s a need to panic but I would say that as I’m not owed money.

1. More meetings at home, more income. 2. The proof is in the riders who are owed money, ( a rider I sponsor is one such individual ) and one of which has already gone public via internet posts . However, they ( thats more than one ) have been assured they will get paid , sometime. Riders should be allowed to withhold their service , without threat of suspension, if not paid within a set time period. Too many examples over the years of this sort of thing. Lets hope its just a hick-up this time.

I don’t agree with not using a rider from a play off side unless you have raced against them Say Ipswich beat Belle Vue and then Sheffield beat Leicester then if Emil gets injured we can use Fricke rather than a mercenary for 1 meeting And I don’t believe we should use Bewley or Kurtz because we knocked them out If it’s a Belle Vue v Sheffield final and Jack Holder is injured then Sheffield can use Emil

Works for football.

You happy with Ipswich having 2 guests tomorrow night or should they be lining up with 5 riders?
-
Yes very unlikely is how it may well be..But I think east Boldon greyhound/speedway stadium is only 5/6 mile from the large catchment area of Tyneside so it's surely worth some wealthy promoter at least running the rule as to reviving speedway - maybe some already have of course?

Well done Glasgow. The people's champions 2025. -
Back in the sands of time if the sport had been run correctly a proper squad system could have been established doing away with guests & rider replacement. While also given opportunities to more riders for track time. it didn’t happen & we now have a situation where to keep 2 leagues going 50% of the riders double up between the leagues. Totally farcical.

one big league one average for every rider .
