beesknees 23 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) With Kylmakorpi out for the season, I'd think there is a limited chance of enticing anyone over to the UK now Surely it would be sensible to secure Fredrik Lindgren as a guest for the semi final and, if the Bees progress, the final. Would provide continuity for the play-offs at least and secure the Bees someone who has been riding in a heat leader berth pretty much all season and is capable of scoring as well as Joonas ... feels like a no brainer to me, move quickly and give the team and fans some certainty. Clearly assumes Freddie wants the guest bookings and 8-day rule (if it's still in place) doesn't come into play ...

foreverblue 6,105 Posted September 4, 2015 Maybe but now we have an opportunity to replace Joonas with a rider over 8. If we do sign someone close to that we would actually have a very strong top 5. That is very true and with your reserves it could mean we don't pick you in the play offs, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted September 4, 2015 Can anyone who knows the rules answer this one? A team is allowed to replace an injured rider in the play offs, I know. However, is the replacement up to the injured riders average or can a team increase up to the maximum limit. Over to someone who actually can answer that question. Interestingly in the PL Somerset are saying they can't replace Greenwood even though he is injured because the deadline has passed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 4, 2015 Interestingly in the PL Somerset are saying they can't replace Greenwood even though he is injured because the deadline has passed? They're wrong then! Rules state there is a 7 day window prior to the play-offs to replace long term injured riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,653 Posted September 4, 2015 Isn't that just an EL rule? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 5, 2015 So if I understand it correctly we can sign a injury replacement rider from Monday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,995 Posted September 5, 2015 Isn't that just an EL rule? Yes it is. 16.3.4.1 A 7-day window, prior to the scheduled date of the first EL Play-Offs will enable EL Clubs only to replace long-term Injured Riders, but not with Riders in other EL Team Declarations. NB. SR 16.3 does not apply but Riders must be fully licensed, have current Start Permission and be eligible to participate in UK Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bees_Man 454 Posted September 5, 2015 Up to riders average or the top 5 average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoFastTurnLeft 74 Posted September 5, 2015 wouldn't trust him I'm afraid. I would I'd love to see Lindback in the UK don't think it's gonna happen this year though. Can't remember where I heard it, but I thought Pawlicki had been approached? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 5, 2015 So pleased for Harris qualifying for the 2016 SGP in a very tough line up. He has been in brilliant form the last couple of days, his heat 15 at Brandon last night was special. Good luck to him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
