There there must be a caveat to that rule then because even tho Scott was redeclared on the 6th April it reverted back to its original line up on the 10th. I’m guessing because Scott never rode a meeting once declared that’s why a reversing of the line up was allowed? Still all seems very odd timing and announcing between the 6th and 10th tho.

Looks an easy win on paper and form so far.

One ringer was brought in legally before the play offs started, one was appealed after being turned down just for the play offs. slight difference. But both are hated by the majority.

Ringer Lambert did tho. ;-)

I’m just a little confused with the reverting back to original line up part of the rules, don’t you usually have to give 48 hrs to re declare or does reverting back to original line up cancel the need to wait 48 hrs? If Scott was injured Saturday they would have had to declare Saturday night to be able to convert back? Not like anyone can really explain the rules as I don’t think even those in charge know. Look how they messed up the Lambert situation for the play offs!

It was great having Lambert back in the UK top flight, just not for 3 title deciders!

Used to happen every season however since riders don’t want to ride over here like they used to and the lack of available decent riders the ringer system seems to now be saved for just the play offs.

Bringing an injured rider back into the declared 1 - 7 seems perfectly legal to me, the timing of course is a different issue. Sadly the Lambert situation has opened a can of worms to allow ringers being brought in just for the play offs to win the title.

But it’s in fact an upgrade because he will score more than 0 or 2.

Becker was declared in the 1-7 and got injured. He is back in the 1-7 declared line up. Perfectly legal. Using a ringer just for the play offs outside the transfer window (which was why it got rejected first time) has never been allowed before yet suddenly it is. Yea, perfectly within the rules (depending who asks of course).

So Becker is back in the declared 1-7 as of yesterdays new declared line ups, which makes the announcement of Nicholls as a temporary signing all the more odd. Of course it now makes the use of Harris as a guest as perfect sense yesterday. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/p23_issue_4.pdf

Becker is back in the declared 1-7 from yesterdays new averages so it’s absolutely correct we use a guest with a 7 point average.

Can see any team winning with there with the current 1-7 in fairness.

We will probably score nearly 60 again. :-))

Opened in different browser thanks. So no Rob Lambert or Lindgren as rumoured. And no Pedersen so looks like he is gone.

That’s what I tried. I’ll try again in different browser. Thanks.

Should be a comfortable away win.

Seems to add fuel to the fire as suggested on here.

Is it opening for anybody?

But replacing a 7+ rider who will be back on that average when fit. The point remains tho why Harris guested for Becker/Nicholls.

Very confusing looking at different Apps, I can’t make my mind up which is better! Would have considered travelling to BV for the morning but if it’s going to rain not worth the effort.

Great, not. One of only 3 chances for me to visit the Green this season.

If I was a Stars supporter I’d say even a NL rider is a better option than KK right now. Worrall would be a significant improvement on what they have.

If he doesn’t appear tomorrow there might be truth to the rumours on here.

Or Coventry fan…….. Or Birmingham fan……… Or really anyone that watches British Speedway.
