NeilWatson 1,988 Posted September 4, 2015 Are we not past the deadline date for transfers? Is there somthing that says injury replacements can be made? Yes, there's a seven-day window to replace riders with season-ending injury. SR 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

mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Surely the answer is 2 (or 4) guest bookings for Fredrik Lindgren (6.55) for Joonas (6.80) ...Definitely not Lindgren as he is very inconsistent and also ruled out as with a team already. Joonas was averaging 7.33 without rolling averages so need a replacement capable of that. Larsen was looking for a team place in the UK not long ago.

The best option is to use a cheap guest and get dispatched in the semi accordingly. Either that or just wave a big white flag and avoid the pointlessness of it all.

SCB 0 Posted September 4, 2015 Who is going to invest in bringing equipment over here for two meetings? If the riders Polish or Swedish season is over they'll have a couple of bikes not being used. It's not like 4 weeks ago when we were looking to replace Robbo that these riders still needed the bikes in mainland Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnno4 30 Posted September 4, 2015 Anybody know why we put out Zengi in Ht 15 ? He wasn't riding very well and if Hansi hadn't fallen we would have gifted the Bees a point. Also why are we a match short of every one else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 4, 2015 It is a replacement rider only - so up to Joonas' average! A replacement rider can either be a direct swap around the injured riders average or up to the 34 point limit. That means Coventry have 8+ points to use, however it depends who wants to come over.

Also why are we a match short of every one else ? Second part is that the meeting date at KL has not yet been agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also why are we a match short of every one else ? Killer prob didn't fancy it with the GP challenge tomorrow. A point to Cov wouldn't have mattered anyway. They will win both their remaining fixtures and we will get battered at Poole so 3rd place for us anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Coventry be considering an overseas replacement for Joonas or would they be looking at guest riders on a horses for courses basis ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
