And the way Poland pay their riders, it may not be just one meeting's worth of money... If he has been given some signing on money (often used for getting the speed required in the riders equipment), that too could need paying back for missing their fixtures...

Not that I think this would be a strong team, more a case of riders willing to ride in Britain. Would wait till Palovaara was about to move out of the reserve berth if making these changes though. Edinburgh     Justin Sedgmen (7.92) Paco Castagna (7.11) Kye Thomson (6.53) Jonatan Grahn (5.00) Victor Palovaara (5.00) Bastien Borke (4.69) Connor Coles (3.25) Total (39.50) When the averages change could line up like this: 1. Victor Palovaara (8.85) 2. Bastien Borke (4.57) 3. Paco Castagna (6.92) 4. Kye Thomson (5.53) 5. Justin Sedgmen (7.35) 6. Jonatan Grahn (4.00) 7. Connor Coles (3.25)  

The advantages of using guests for Dan T is if one doesn't go well, try another the next time. Make a signing & you're stuck with them, unless you make a second change. If they go for a temp replacement, there's been a few impressive newcomers / riders returning to the Champ, Victor Palovaara, Mitchell McDiarmid, Declan Kennedy, I would've added Oskar Polis before he walked out. Also would Francis Gusts be worth a shot?

a social gathering is what made speedway and all this pro althlete garbage just doesn’t wash with the public,at heart people crave reality despite fake being pushed on them and bonds are formed between competitors/teams and the public partly because they see themselves in their heroes and that bond has been lost along the way. Speedway is an amateur sport and there is nothing wrong with that, the reason promoters close ranks is because like in most sectors of society it’s about money and they don’t want anyone coming in to take their slice of the pie no matter how small that slice is 

Not necessarily, could come back & score as of they'd never been away. Can never tell with Speedway riders. Witches still the best looking team imo, but don't look the dominant team they were 2 days ago.
