spin king 1,923 Posted July 6, 2021 Guests have and always been part of speedway. I have seen Guest riders give match winning performance and some where they have lost matches. To be honest if Josh Bates is out for the season or any length of time I would prefer a new rising star to replace Josh. If that was the case then I would go for Connor Bailey or James Shanes.

Number777 6 Posted July 7, 2021 So this 6 month ban for Nicky P, is that just in Poland or worldwide? I reckon he would have taken some catching in the UK this season....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted July 7, 2021 Technically if he rides for Plymouth then Ipswich shouldn’t be allowed a guest as he’d be withholding his services Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
