Only two home fixtures have been completed so far this year and their next free Monday is not until 17th July. So it will either have to be Ipswich plus guest ( Bewley or Kurtz) or they will need to shuffle their fixture list. Maybe they should still both be told to run the meeting without a #1 but then again cant see loophole Louis being in agreement to that, if it saves Buster some pennies he will be up for it for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gutted when any Speedway meeting is cancelled tbh. You guys at Peterborough really need to buck up a bit... there's over 400 pages on the Peterborough thread mainly about not having a number 1 and slagging your riders off. Many Panthers fans seem to be sleep walking into extinction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could carry on for the whole season which is probably more likely as the club won’t spend mega money if they are packing up at the end of the season So because Nicki did 2 bends Peterborough can use guests same average as Nicki whereas Scunny and Wolves could only for 28 days! Crazy. Maybe rule should be changed to 'complete a meeting'.... at least! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 7, 2023 Maybe Wolverhampton signing Nicholls initially as 28 day replacement then asking for the team to be declared back to Becker when Chris Harris was used in the KOC against BV didnt sit very well with Vatcher at the time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rules governing this situation are contained in the Speedway Regs. 10.5 These have been amended this year:- This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension Presumably this means that a club must have demonstrated having actively sought a replacement rider for an extension to be granted.

Would make sense to ride against Leicester but have a feeling rider availability may be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We called Bartek and he said he would love to, but he goes out on a Monday, to the local Legion to play in the Darts, Pool and Crib League, and Thursday's he washes his hair".. "So, quite valid reasons, and if he wasnt doing that he would be over here, therefore, not all doom and gloom for the UK version of the sport, like some of them on the BSF like to make out"..
