Things maybe different this season but 8 wouldn't hold my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It remains to be seen whether he takes his place at Ipswich on Monday for their local derby match against Kings Lynn. Just to clarify. Erik Riss was suspended by the SCB for riding in Germany last week. Redcar have a 28-day facility to cover the suspension, hence Lawson's guest appearances.

I'm guessing that means Wolves will have to find a replacement for Becker too? Can't have different rules for different teams! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 593 Posted May 1, 2023 Zaine has broken his back and Scunthorpe we’re granted a 28 day facility to replace him , this has now been withdrawn so from the 5 th of May this will cease and the Scorpions will have to re declare there 1 to 7 new line up and have it approved by the BSPA committee members Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rule book should have been tightened up after 2018 when scunny ran with guests for steve Worrall. Scunthorpe set the precedent. I'll be very surprised if Scunthorpe have to re declare their 1-7 as you seem to think, I'm sure there will be a new rule in the pipeline,happy to be proved wrong though.

Definitely can't use Lawson this time. Be out of Glasgow, Edinburgh or Berwick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
