I'm actually 10 miles away from Belle Vue, it rained here earlier but the sun is trying to peak through the clouds now. Not too successfully though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GregoryM 85 Posted September 13, 2021 I must admit I’m not always ‘on the ball’ when it comes keeping totally up-to-date with the seemingly ever-changing rules and regulations. I’m just wondering why the Aces do not have Richie Worrall back in the team tonight, given he is back – and scoring well – in the SGB Premiership? Is his continued absence from the Aces’ team connected to the rules governing the signing of Nicolai Busk Jacobsen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is his continued absence from the Aces’ team connected to the rules governing the signing of Nicolai Busk Jacobsen? Richie Worrall made his comeback with Edinburgh on Friday and rode Friday, Saturday, Sunday. (he's also due to ride Wednesday). As Belle Vue would probably have had to declare tonight's team before he rode on Friday, they probably thought it might be too big a risk to ask him to ride 4 days on the trot (and 5 days out of 6). They're perfectly entitled to use temporary signing Busk Jakobsen for anything up to 28 days, so probably thought it was the safest option to give Richie Worrall a breather tonight and have him back fresh for the play-offs. (Having said that, it seems like it's been a bit of a pain with NBJ getting injured, then guest Aaron Summers retiring... they're down to Theo Pijper now). (They could have brought Worrall back in the side tonight if they'd wanted. There's nothing in the rules that says an injury replacement has to stay in the side for 28 days. But once they'd decided to stick with the injury replacement for tonight, they can't go back just because Summers pulled out, they have to stick with it and find a new guest) Edited September 13, 2021 by PotteringAround Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: I've just looked on the SCB site at the rules and tbh I can't find anything that states that rule, but it does seem to exist.

Lefty 1,268 Posted September 13, 2021 Is it part of the Supplementary, Complementary And Regulatory Explanation (SCARE) that is for Promoters only? It must be adhered to until Poole find the relevant loophole / exemption! It helps encourage the greater use of guests and further dilutes team bonding that the fans want. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted September 13, 2021 Surely the "in the interests of speedway" rule overrides any other option stated so far..... It is used in many unacceptable ways so why not use it when it would be sensible to do so 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheer lunacy.... You will never be a promoter... Edited September 13, 2021 by mikebv 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
