My Top 20 Riders

Your system must be flawed otherwise Lambert wouldn't be able to guest....... -
Yes the one achieved in 2019 that the regs state is no longer valid as it is too old and so he was given a new assessed average - albeit that they then attached the very same figure from 2019!! A direct contradiction - it's either relevant and suitable or it's not...... The reasoning also relies on what is NOT written in the regs rather than what IS. A bizarre approach to take! There in lies the basic problem. The reassessment should have reflected the true up to date ability (shown in his GP performance and play off appearances last season for example) Even now he COULD have an official average from 2023. Although the ideal is to use the first 3 home and 3 away meeting there is provision to attach an official figure without riding those 'minimums' Given Lambert has ridden a total of 6 (2 home 4 away) those results would give a fairer reflection and COULD be used

They had a choice to use Lambert - on a ridiculously low assessed average and unavailable in terms of how the guest rule has always been interpreted OR if he was awarded a true figure They had a choice to use Harris who has already ridden in the play offs No point in anymore debate about either really I will likely be I the minority but I will again choose not to part with my cash to see this as it doesn't meet the principles I expect Enjoy yourself

No disagreement from me on the principle of what went on at Peterborough has been a complete crock of rubbish too. A typical speedway shambles Ipswich actually had to go to both Boro and Lynn after each had strengthened where others didn't so I'd hardly say that it was cut and dried that it was only that that Leicester defeat that meant qualification Too many variable to pin it on one instance but carry on with the smoke and mirrors distraction tactics.....

Sheffield - Not use an illegal guest (Lambert) for starters. As I say tip of the iceberg and so much more than just the play off picture Ipswich - Potentially should've been only RR available. I even posted on the semi thread that RR was my preferred option. Harris guesting though, whilst undesirable, was 100% within the regs as they stand

With rain in the air it opens up another potential test for the regs I believe the team trailing at heat 10 can request the match be be curtailed if conditions are poor, the team leading cannot So what if Wolves are leading by 8 after 10 - can Sheffield request it called as the team trailing in the meeting or is it the aggregate score More and more it seems what the regs don't say is taken as most important as opposed to what they do say - it could be vital if the above were to occur.......

Nowhere in the regs to prevent it The only part mentioned is not being able to ride for both sides in a 2 legged tie It has been hinted that there is an agreement in place between all parties to prevent it Given the regs are manipulated what chance does a 'gentleman's' agreement have if push comes to shove.... -
One of those big calls (at least in terms of the current restrictive set up) that a TM has to make I'd say most would've felt Keynan had a better chance to win that race - as it turned out it didn't work out that way Perhaps a little harsh on Danyon who has been sharp focussed and decently quick away recently
