As suppose it wouldn't be too bad if we could get a 'Jason Lemon' type guest for home fixtures. Although its unfortunate we don't have a fit no.1,,, fortunately due to BWD's average situation we should be able to utilise that 8+ave. Think it'll be a while before any of the others lads will surpass that figure. No disrespect to them tho. Edited May 5, 2022 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No offence to Jason Edwards, but surely they could have got a better guest at reserve? James Sarjeant seems an obvious one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enotian 562 Posted May 5, 2022 This is now two of eleven sides using a permanent guest for their No1. Can't be good for the credibility of the sport but I'm sure the promoters and riders love it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If any are available! Edited May 5, 2022 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It all leads in one direction with an increasingly smaller pool of riders who constantly guest for opponents. It's a team sport in name only now.

It was much worse in 1984 [Carter, Sigalos, Lee and Mauger (away only) - were pretty much absent all season - all were number ones] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
