It is still a rule. That's from the regulations for this year, downloadable from the SCB site.

Yes 012.1.14 Foul, Unfair or Dangerous riding

It's set out in the regulations section 010.2.2 You can download the regs here https://www.scbgb.co.uk/regulations

Although, of course, the housing at Swindon was never an issue when the track was running.

That's a matter of opinion. Now we have the consequence that a number of teams are entering the last portion of the season, including the playoffs, where using guests is inevitable even if other riders may be available to replace genuinely injured riders.

It was an entirely predictable outcome. Whether we agree with Belle Vue signing Lambert to replace the injured Fricke is down to personal views. However, there was such an outcry that SCB changed the rules - and now we have the current position. Sometimes speedway reaps what it sows.

That's as a direct result of the negative comments when Belle Vue signed Robert Lambert to replace the injured Max Fricke. We can argue all we like about that and whether there is more credibility or fairness in using a guest rather than an unattached rider - but that is now the situation we have.

Not lost on me. UK speedway has plenty of issues but this isn't really the place to discuss those

Frank would have had it completed and been home by 8pm

But this isn't UK speedway rules

No changes allowed after 75% of league fixtures completed so can't leave it too long

A pity to hold it on a Wednesday

All in the Regulations under 011.4 Facilities. Where the RS is riding in positions 1-5 in the team the options are R/R, or a guest from the RS list with a lower match average
