Had a quick look probably looking at the sarj, Ruml or either of the Cook brothers. Although how likely Poole are to help a fellow play off team I don't know I don't think it would be an issue (prob more of an issue with fans more than the management! I think if Hume or Ben wants the guest booking they will agree - not sure when Ben's average changes) Ruml seems to be on good form for Plymouth since switching to reserve. Ben Cook hasn't rode at Leicester for us that was who James Wright was guesting for but doesn't mean to say he won't be good there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If need a guest for Sunday and his average hasn't change Ben Cook is a no brainer. Was spectacular at ashfield for Poole earlier in the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,367 Posted September 1, 2021 At the end of the does it REALLY matter ,whoever wins the league,at the end of the day there won’t be enough room on the Trophy for all the guests that all the Teams have used. It’s all a bit farcical really. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With plenty of lads being awarded both... !! I will say this once, twice & even more times from about 3 or 4 years ago that we have to make up our own model for team racing. 6 man teams Minimise double up/ down to 2 or 3 riders per team No guests from other teams Riders not chosen/declared in a team go into pool to be chosen as & when a team is short. Averages & RS(now) status used with riders only allowed to guest help out a team maximum 3 or 4 times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they could have a choice of rising star riders & if that is the case Leon Flint is still a 3* rider on the latest declaration list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we get a facility for Poole and Leicester or does sedgeman keep his place? When Andersen missed his Berwick debut they had to revert to Garcia in their 1-7, Poole couldn't do that with Keleher, so got a guest for Smetana, so I'd guess Glasgow revert back to Sedgmen in the team, but how would that effect the transfer cut-off date? If the declared team still has Sedgeman in it, does that mean Nowak has missed the transfer deadline? Edited September 1, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No facility for a missing rider who hasn't yet raced for you in your 1-7 (can't go back to the old one, as that would be a change after deadline day) so to replace the Pole (5.00) Tigers can only use a guest up to 3.75 until Nowak turns up -- presumably with an ACU, or other acceptable licence. Leicester tell me that will be Jack Thomas on Saturday, no news yet of who will ride tomorrow, or on Sunday if the necessary documentation hasn't gone through by then. But Glasgow will still qualify comfortably in the top six, although finishing on top might now be a stretch.

IGNORE THIS! - I didnt look at the date and it was for the rained off fixture on the 19th August. Sorry for any confusion my post may have caused.
