How does Wallinger keep getting so many clubs signing him?! When will they learn he’s unreliable and doesn’t even score points. Barely any in the Championship and on a 4pt NL average!

Yep I remember the Wilson incident. He then had a PL average of over 4.00 which was too high to allow him to DU but he was allowed to ride NL only at the start of the season! The rules changed because of it. All riders who are missing because of higher leagues clashes can be covered by a ‘guest’. This was brought in about 2 winters ago. Yes and that was early in the season too, in about April time, when all the decent riders had been signed up and how the Warriors set the team up it looked like Greaves would be a big improved. Which he was that season! I’m all for riders stepping up but it should be compulsory that they cannot sign for a team with the same race night.

But is that fair midseason on the team he’s forced out of? Using Perks as the example, it’s not Leicester Cubs’ fault that he’s picked up a top flight spot and all the number 1s are signed by now.

Follow my Twitter instead Seriously though, best wishes to Danny and so unfortunate after having such an excellent season!

Irreplaceable in terms of entertainment.

Wood was genuinely injured for this meeting.

There’s no second ‘i’

Injured

It’s R/R. Very unfortunate but 2 of his rides can be taken by Morley & Campos.

It seems a very convenient use of ‘unavailable’ for Brooks when they can use Stoneman. Brooks rides the night after down in Plymouth too.

Wallinger didn’t need last long! Jenkins is making a big commitment now though cos he’ll want a 2.00 average for next season so can’t score that many

Should be made available online...

Yep! Gilkes should be fit and they could even tempt Ablitt to change his mind by then in meetings that don’t affect his average!

So that reads that a 2.something rider can ‘guest’! But seeing as the rule change was never announced I wonder if they’ve just forgot to update this bit in the regs to 2.00 from 3.00 when the new minimum average came out. Also point G suggests that Leek could cover for someone in the main body with a lower average than him because it clearly should now say 2.00.

I don’t remember reading it when the regs were published online.

Gilkes now ruled out. This has to be an away win now.

If that new rule has been brought in unannounced, no other club has used it yet.

Yep new super strong reserves for the Cubs against a depleted Kings. It’s going to be a difficult meeting for Kent!

Only unattached riders with a 2.00 can come in at reserve to ‘guest’ or ‘replace’ a rider, whatever term you want to use. Leek has a 2.86 average which makes him ineligible.

5 miles away and it’s overcast and dry.

Of the 4 league meetings he did, he crashed out of 2 of them! Also remember his excellent start of the season scores were NT meetings.

Forecast looks much better for tomorrow than today. Anyone know the line-ups?

How are Mildenhall using Leek as a guest for Kelly when Leek isn’t in a declared line-up?

Wallinger?! Unlucky on Hume to lose his place but to lose it to someone as unreliable as Wallinger and Agertoft stays in the team who’s scoring worse than Thomsen must be a bitter pill to swallow.

There was lots of interest for an NL meeting by all accounts. The Warriors fans group on fb had plenty of posts all evening from those that went and didn’t go. Also reports of a good crowd size. The real reason for the lack of posts here is the lack of interest in this forum!
