I wouldn't want him at Wolves in any capacity.

Thanks Neil, it's nice to be properly educated about the rules.

You don't have an agenda WG. Nothing unfair about the move in bringing in your own asset who just happens to be on a low average earned by a season of misery for Wolves fans. If I take my Wolves hat off and see another club bring a club asset back to boost a play off booth then I'd have to say fair play.

Is this being shown on UK TV at any point does anyone know?

Isn't it awful that poor Belle Vue have to work on a budget (apparently). Some still have that green eyed monster syndrome.

Thanks Neil. So it would be the score from their 4 rides and not from extra rides that count?

Top scorers is from programmed rides tho.

No you can't. Has to be top 3 scorer on match average. Reserve can only come in for exclusion or injury. 15.14 TOP SCORER’S HEAT (Heat 15 in all SGB League Competitions). 15.14.1 Gate Positions are determined by the outcome of the Coin Toss at the start of the Meeting. 15.14.2 The Home Team Manager nominates first, but once nominated these cannot be amended, except by the Referee should the nomination not conform to the Regulations. 15.14.3 Nominations must be a ‘qualified’ Rider, determined as either: a) A Rider in the top 3 of that Meeting’s Team by current MA (NB. A Team missing one of the top 3 and using the RR facility) may use the 4 th highest Rider by MA. or A Top 3 points scorer (counting the 4 x programmed rides only, including bonus points) or if one of those top 3 points scorers has already taken 7 rides then the 4 th highest points scorer becomes a ‘qualified’ rider. (NB: No facility is available allowing another rider to be elevated to the qualified list if any of those top 3 points scorers are unavailable due to be withdrawn or has no equipment). If a rider is disqualified for an offence under Art 15.3 the Team Manager may choose either of the following options: - i) The disqualified rider can start on a 15 metre handicap in c or d (The opposing team does not change gate positions). or ii) Is replaced by a reserve who will start from the same gate position at the tapes. In a re-run of heat 15 a non-disqualified rider who is unable to take part may be replaced by a reserve or another ‘qualified’ rider.

At least he will double his scores this way. Thankfully Rye have been to Wolves twice. Couldn't bear watching him struggle again (although in fairness every team including Poole have had to witness that this season). It comes to something when the league is at its weakest in history yet KK will be a reserve. World class my rear!!!!!!

You make a very fair point tellboy. If they aren't allowed to be introduced the following season I'd say there is even less chance of bringing back a rider from the current season!

I hope to god that's not true. Would mean no ruling can ever be deemed plausible.

Would seem complete nonsense when you look at the rules it's pretty clear Tai wasn't going to be reassessed. Wonder who is right as Tai was neither 'absent for more than 3 seasons' or 'absent for a season thru injury??? 16.2.3 AMENDED MA’s may be either Established or Assessed MA’s that have been amended with the Approval of the BSPA GC or MC for: a) Riders who have been absent from British League racing for more than 3 seasons (NB. The MA may be increased or decreased). Riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to injury.

you can't use a rider already released in the same season. 16.3.3 A rider in a Team's declared 1 - 7 at the end of the previous season and not included in that Team’s new season’s initial declaration may not be subsequently re-introduced into that Team without the express permission of the MC. 16.3.4 No Team changes will be allowed after 28th July with the effective date being 31st July, except for riders returning to the Team after injury. And need announcing by the weekend with the transfer window shutting last night.

Missed that. So looks clear then. Swindon look to be in the same position as Wolves are by trying to replace a rider that's almost impossible to replace. Gutted for Zach who seems to have made a proper break thru this season. Have had the pleasure of watching him grow in his first 2 seasons.

I admire your spirit trying to take positives from that! !

16.3.4 No Team changes will be allowed after 28th July with the effective date being 31st July, except for riders returning to the Team after injury. less sure now???

You should never see it as not too bad losing by 20 points or more!

I'm sure I read that too.

I think Richie has proven he should have had a starting team place when the season started. I'd be happy if we signed him obviously dependant on team strengths next season however not in place of Howarth who has been a star this season so far.

A season ending injury will fall into the exempt category I'd imagine.

18 down yet lost by 22?? You at least didn't further mullered I guess.

Didn't Kennett have a season with Swindon to at least try get it right? Whereas KK will never have a season at Wolves, and amen to that.

flag Marshall, no such thing as track rakers anymore! Yes it was.

No surprise. He even knew that before his rant at the riders. Joe Jacobs is available if it helps.

Reason?????? This could be interesting.
