IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 18, 2021 Was it Nicol that guested once & scored about 16 from 7 rides in '18 or '19. Poole were trying ti sign him the following year based on that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Adam Ellis' Championship average is only 7.92 so none of the 'big hitter' guests were eligible. Nicol has only achieved 6.07 but with Scunny reporting that 6 of their 7 riders picked up various injuries last night its not surprising they are using more than one guest plus r/r. Well done to the Scunny management for not asking the tie to be rescheduled!! ps. Adam is reporting both sore knees and a swollen wrist!!

Quite agree poor state of affairs by far by scunthorpe in choice of guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinBSN 617 Posted August 18, 2021 "choice" of guest is most likely whoever was available at quick notice and willing to travel all the way to Poole. Overnight guests never come as a choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
