Blackadder

Holder did not have a day off.

Again - the Supplementary Regulations state that teams in the 4s must pick their top 4 by MA.

I can't remember if he moaned when Anders Thomsen had a 24 hour illness last year, when he missed a meeting at Sheffield because of an Under 21 meeting 2 days later.

There you are then. George English's fault!!

Especially when they have had over a week to arrange for a NL rider to take Holder's place.

Supplementary Regulations for the CL Fours include:- Each Team must include their Top 4 by MA, with a Reserve being optional. If a reserve is named, then he must be the lowest by MA from the 5 selected riders.

SHEFFIELD: Josh Grajczonek, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre R/R, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. WORKINGTON: Richard Lawson, Mason Campton, Ty Proctor, Matt Williamson, Thomas Jorgensen, James Sarjeant, Alfie Bowtell. Changes updated.

Great result for the Sheffield 'Proper' Tiggers. Never saw that coming.

EDINBURGH: Sam Masters, Theo Pijper, Ricky Wells, Max Clegg, Erik Riss, Josh Pickering, Mitchell Davey. SHEFFIELD: Chris Harris, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre R/R, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. Lasse Bjerre picked up a knee injury last night.

Lasse Bjerre withdrawn from meeting at Swindon tonight after a fall when riding for Leicester. No further details yet.

Now on Rebels web site:-- Rebels should be back to full strength for Friday’s match with Josh Grajczonek expected to have recovered from the knock he sustained while riding in Poland on Sunday, which kept him out of the team which lost at Wolves on Monday.

Josh was injured in Poland on Sunday. Don't know any more details.

I said in my first response to this comment that it's programmed rides only that count.

If you read it again, you will see that the top 3 by average, or the top 3 scorers from programmed rides qualify for Heat 15.

A reserve can be nominated for Heat 15, provided he is one of the top 3 scorers from his programmed rides.

BERWICK: Nick Morris, David Howe, Dany Gappmaier, Kevin Doolan, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Jye Etheridge, TBC. SHEFFIELD: Josh Grajczonek, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood.

Good win for Sheffield. Thought they could have put Georgie in heat 14, to give him 4 rides, as the points were in the bag by then.

SHEFFIELD: Josh Grajczonek, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. NEWCASTLE: Robert Lambert, Ashley Morris, Stuart Robson, Ludvig Lindgren, Steve Worrall, Ben Hopwood, Alfie Bowtell.

Kyle was due to return for Wolves at King's Lynn tonight, but that match is off. Josh Bates rode for Leicester on Monday, so he should be ok too.

Rob has already said that there is no chance of signing Gino Manzares, as it would take too long to get his work permit, and set him up to ride in the UK.

How can the Referee be aware of what is happening in the Pits unless he is informed by the Clerk of the Course? I'm sure that I read somewhere that the Referee would be fining Chris Holder.

I saw them shaking hands after the meeting, so all should be well between them.

SHEFFIELD: Josh Grajczonek, Todd Kurtz, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth R/R, Lasse Bjerre, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. WORKINGTON: Craig Cook, Mason Campton, Ty Proctor, Matt Williamson, Thomas Jorgensen, Tom Perry, Rob Shuttleworth.

18.10 FACILITIES a1) Absent #1: a2) Absent D-up (if riding for the “other” team) 1 Absent rider (2 – 5): c) More than 1 Absent rider (1 - 5) 1 x RR facility and G for all others d) Absent #6 or #7: e) “No Facility” Premiership 1-5 Premiership 6-7 & Championship 1-7 G Championship rider with an MA up to and including 4.00 NDL G* not declared in a SGBP & SGBC team declaration G or RR G or RR RR So according to that, you could have a Guest for Josh and RR for Kyle, or the other way round.

Mandatory 9 day ban for Kyle, due to concussion.
