foamfence 2,917 Posted April 12, 2013 I didn't know you could have someone not currently riding for anyone as a one-off guest? Obviously you can. Two decent looking sides but I reckon Stoke should have a comfortable win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swift Saint 186 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) This is a Challenge and we want to put on the best possible event. There is no restriction in a Challenge that prevents the use of Rob Branford in this way although were it an official fixture this would not be allowed and in the circumstances we would have to use the Rider Replacement facility. So with agreement with the Island Club we are using Rob who is desperate to shop window himself his average being 0.16 less than Ben's .
