I think the issue was a rider guesting for both teams in a tie!

Fuel crisis? Saving money for playoffs? Many Leicester fans there?

It was said that Jack was doing it!

Well Zach did have a good guy spannering for him tonight!

They seemed to deflate when Poole got level on aggregate, but maybe the Poole riders just seemed to get going! Interesting to know what is said at the press conference they are doing tonight.

Careful they might use that idea! Lol

Well..... I guess Poole win it by default? Poole have had to do a KOC final 2nd leg on Halloween before lol.

Case of performance better than score suggests, as they seemed to be in the mix in most of the heats.

Ah okay, so just for 1-5. I didn't realise that. So essentially just reserve change is all you can do then.

But that reserve might also need to do some of the original r/r rides, so if a no8 can do that for them, you shouldn't get too many 3 rider races? Also if it is the higher averaged reserve who is injured, do you still use a rider above for one of the rides in IRR like you do in the normal R/R?

As has been mentioned before, what about awarding the race no matter what lap it is on if the ref is sure that a rider is staying down on purpose? Poole used IRR at Birmingham Doesn't stop the 3 rider races if it is a reserve that gets injured unless you take a no8 with you.

Beat me to it!

Doubt it comsidering he rides for Redcar, plus he's injured!

Which would be we would always get the 1st leg unless we change to Sunday? Or delay it to the following week to have 2nd leg at home?

Ah okay. I assumed Steve's one came from the Poole website and if you look at his post it doesn't say TBC next to Basso's name.

Leicester have Basso down as to be confirmed in the line ups.. Home / Twitter

If it is home and away think it is okay to use the same rider. Think there is a time limit on using them at home consecutively but not sure the amount of days is? @NeilWatson

No Hume for Sheffield then and Stevie Worall for BV if Poole ride next Weds, depends if QF in champ are done in time. Skidder thinks we may be riding on 6th October cos Matt is over. Unless Poole change to Tuesday to accommodate IDK! Ah yes, had a feeling there was someone else!

Well Redcar vs Edinburgh, unless one is in midday and the other is evening then BV without Richie Worrall and Sheffield without Josh Pickering. That off the top of my head, not sure if anyone else is affected? Can Sheffield ride Tuesdays?

Really? Wouldn't it take most of the day to get the track not to be underwater!

We would have to do the 1st leg then?

Guess Sheffield will have to consult with Eurosport on that one. Would eurosport show both meetings in one show like sky sport used to?

Down to four then, five if you include Swindon! Sure I read that they are not letting anyone else 'drop down' into the championship.

This one is a lot harder to call than the other tie. I expect Sheffield to take a lead of around 6-12 points. Not sure if the weather will behave though!

You'll have to talk to the panthers fans who keep getting wound up by Steve and bring Poole into the discussion!
