That is insane! I remember back in the elite league days teams would get fined for fielding understrength teams!

Looks like he's riding in same U24 Polish meeting that Cairns was in today, so should be okay to get a flight over i would have thought. So possibly just down to the one guest now.

Glasgow. But that was cos Poland called him up as Brady Kurtz was injured. Edit - also he just rode last couple of Fridays at Redcar and Scunny.

Is a shame as Knudsen was very good at Poole last time and I would have thought Gusts would do a good job too. I mean we have a Dane so Weds night is doable although he did say he'd put UK ahead of Denmark with any fixture clashes as something to do with not much else for him to learn riding in Denmark compared to the UK(if my memory is correct from p+p day!).

Lol, he was riding when they won in the BSN meeting! Got 7+2 riding at no3. His and Mitch's score are the main reason they did win.

Teams: Poole (TM Neil Middleditch) 1 Richard Lawson 2 Tobias Thomsen 3 Lewi Kerr 4 Zach Cook (Capt) 5 Anders Rowe 6 Paul Starke 7 William Cairns Oxford (TM Peter Schroeck) 1 Sam Masters (Capt) 2 Jacob Hook (Guest) 3 Zaine Kennedy (Guest) 4 Mitch McDiarmid 5 Cameron Heeps 6 Luke Killeen 7 Darryl Ritchings (Guest)

No, not necessarily! They always say the gap between Champ and NDL is quite big, so imagine going from NDL to doing Champ and Prem at 16 at once. Think it's too much imo. What's the rush? If they are desperate to do both then Champ in March/April and then possibly Prem from July onwards imo.

Not sure discussing a 16 year olds body image on a forum is a good thing tbh. No wonder some of them have low mental health.

Tuesday? As he is on his flight now if you look at his Instagram. I know it takes a long time from Australia but not that long!

Zach Cook would be a good guest. Loves it at Redcar. Fits for Dan and for Erik as they have the 5% extra. Just checked the August averages. Just depends if he fancies another trip up north or not i guess.

Hopefully Lynn can get a 8-10 point lead to make second leg interesting!

Maybe the rule should be slightly changed to you have to have ridden in Champ for a certain period of time first, whether that be half a season or a full one.

Yeah Poole riders be okay. I think with guesting apart from no1 position you not allowed to guest for same team at same track within 8 days. Unless the rule has changed recently?

He is injured though. It's not like he cba. Every podcast i listen to they say he is having physio between races. I bet if the track was Worky or BV he'd be riding.

I do. If Poole moved up he would be first name on teamsheet every time.

Tobi did well i thought in his place. They got the win and BP so they didn't miss him much.

Careful, you'll be getting accused of Northern bias again soon. 👀😉

You need to find one of the podcasts with Garry May on from a few weeks ago as he talks about it quite openly. It must be a decent increase as it stops them from getting top riders in as many unavailable on a Saturday which they are willing to sacrifice for a bigger crowd.

That is how it is supposed to work but according to Catalan no one does that anymore and just asks the rider. I suppose in this case it doesn't matter as Danny Ford has said in the past he would never stop a Poole rider from taking a guest booking.

Exactly when was that, as everyone been moaning about it since 2010ish onwards? Also more bumps 3 years ago than now.

This week maybe. Last week it looked like Worky. Be an interesting run in to the play offs!

Good racing is great but there is something that hasn't been discussed.. ....how did Vinnie manage to get himself stuck in the toilets!! 👀🙈🤷‍♀️

But is apparently wanting to make a comeback when time is right.

Good job you got one with Vuolas helping Redcar go above you in the table lol.
