A ORLOV 8,628 Posted July 22, 2016 Thanks very much Orlov - after getting caught up in the Kings Lynn fiasco the other night I'm understandably cautious about going along today...! That is not a surprise, also Lakeside is an awkward place to travel to unless you are doing something else in that area. Friday afternoon on the M25 is not an ideal trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damosuzuki 696 Posted July 22, 2016 Swindon to get a point or two. And make the playoffs this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) It says on Twitter that Branford is no longer guesting and it's likely to be Leigh Lanham instead. That would mean Swindon would have no fast draft riders in their team tonight. Lanham also has a higher EL average than Stefan who's only a 3pt avg so surely that would be against rules?

Branford unfortunately blew two engines at Swindon last night, so must have equipment issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krompa 236 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Robbo and Lanham Swindon reserves duo? That's funny. Anyone able to find when they first rode it the same league meeting for Lakeside? Seems it was like two decades ago. Edited July 22, 2016 by krompa 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 22, 2016 Robbo was stopped from riding before by a MC decision that he was ineligble due to having a 2015 EL average. They appear to have changed their minds on that point. Having said that, Lakeside can always wait til around 2.30 ish before protesting!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 22, 2016 See Tocha's post #9 for the appropriate regulation. But Lanham has a higher EL average than Stefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted July 22, 2016 What a complete joke. 2 very experienced EL riders allowed to guest for EDR's Horrendous if this is allowed to happen, the whole integrity of the EDR system destroyed 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not then the rules must have changed again as Poole weren't allowed Robson to replace Newman as he had a higher EL average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,292 Posted July 22, 2016 Late change again... I believe Ashby and Briggs are now at six and seven for Swindon!! Rule 3. 1.18, subsection 6b, (modified 21/07/16) replaces subsection 8a of Rule 4. 3.12, (which no longer applies for matches run on a Friday)... British Speedway!!

Grachan 7,362 Posted July 22, 2016 Leigh Lanham is a PL rider below 6, so is allowed to be used for anyone as a non-facility rider as far as I can see. This looks like what Matt Ford was on about recently regarding non-facility replacements etc. I started reading it but got confused half way through and gave up trying to work it out!
