But if both out then would have to have one guest. So probably could have 6 guests and r/r? It is possible to have seven guests! Would be an unlikely set of circumstances though …. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Worrall and King got injured, Lawson got locked up, the Cooks got deported for visa irregularities, Kemp lost his strength when he had his hair cut and only Ablitt was left old Matt would be on the phone from the chateau and get dispensation for 6 for a few months.

I’m out at the moment but IIRC a guest can be used for 1,2,3,6 and 7. For 4 &5 - one out is usually RR, both out RR & Guest, but if they’re representing their FMN a guest can be used - so 7 guests is possible.

Incidentally Redcar did once name 6 guests and r/r for a match at Sheffield that was rained off. I think they 'only' used 5 guests and r/r for the restating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, there won't be much more of that in the future then, will there? Still, we got our country back, innit? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted July 27, 2022 Birmingham should try and get as many Leicester riders to guest as possible or maybe Oxford as there soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted July 27, 2022 1 hour ago, lisa-colette said: Just like to say speedy recovery to Ash Morris and Stef Nielsen. Also a big well done to Ben Cook tonight. I don't think he gets enough credit for his performances this season. Especially if his meetings are only for us. Unless he has been getting some extra meetings now? He definitely deserves them. Not a bad meeting, some good races especially early on, shame about the injuries, Morris one looked bad, hope he makes a speedy recovery, all the best to Stef too, didn't look too bad but withdrew so maybe worse than it looked, his mum was standing next to me at the time so she rushed off and didn't return. Very interesting chat with the Cooks mum and dad. So a good night,result never in doubt but would have been closer without the injuries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,146 Posted July 28, 2022 Seriously .... 'What is the point of trying to run Friday's meeting' ? Back to my previous 'post' ? Is anybody, apart from Lisa, that bothered ? Speedway becomes more of a farce by the day..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birmingham's full team would struggle, the guests did ok last night especially Jason Edwards who I thought was excellent, it would have been closer if Stefan and Ashley didn't get injured.

StephenMiller 76 Posted July 28, 2022 Not really sure 4 pts from a guest number 1 should be classed as ok 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
