Revised green sheet averages have already been released 4 home 4 away no longer being applied (apart from non 2017 riders) Back to 20 meeting rolling averages including 2017 meetings

In the Championship home and away once league format will mean 20 matches

Not allowed NB - its nearly 11 am and there have been no regulation changes announced today so this one could be due

No guest allowed as Nico is no longer a heat leader following the 1st (well 2nd!) revision of the green sheet averages through the beginning of this week

Apparently the sample will reduce by 2 each month to reach 20 at the year end Last year the final figures were on 36 meetings and it was felt dropping nearly half at the first review would not be right

The issue of this first set of revised green sheets has been shambolic to say the least. Shield or no shield meetings included 20 meetings then 30 meetings All these changes after teams had declared their sides for this weeks meetings before now finding out guests are not now allowable in some cases or no longer elligible in others

A quick return to Foxhall for Lakeside who will be looking to repeat their win in the Shield and set up a date with the pussycats Difficult one to call partly due to the announced line ups from the website preview likely to change following the shambolic release of revised green sheet averages in the last couple of days Proctor listed as guest for Nico but the new listings ussued today see Nico drop to 4th in our line up meaning only r/r is available I can see us prevailing with a win on this home leg but doubt it will be a lead big enough to see us through overall in the tie

I would suspect not anymore Nico now 4th in Witches list following the shambolic release of the first revised green sheets

There is now a revised release covering 30 meetings!

The change today is that rather than a 20 meeting sample it is now rolling over 30 meetings! Have also corrected the anomaly I ststed re Covatti Vissing etc...

Revised list has been issued today which sees quite a few changed for a number of teams!! Lindgren still at no1 This most recent list includes 30 meetings rather than the previously stated 20 meeting sample I would say you couldnt make it up but clearly someone is!

Shield matches included (carpet lifted) Supplementary regulation in production (brush)

Another bizarre point is the non change for the likes of Covatti and Vissing who despite having at least the 4 home 4 away retain their current average until they reach 20 meetings Only those assessed it seems are revised after 4 home 4 away.....

Even though the regs state league matches only!!

Opened up fine for me from the menu drop down Looks like shield meetings included after all despite quite clearly stating in the regs that its league matches only!!

Now 7.62 after first green sheet revision Grondal drops to reserve too

Looking at the new list it must be that shield matches have been included as well after all Eg Danyon Hume had 7 2017 meetings (hence still assessed at 2) but on new list he has 10 meetings included which can only be the 3 shield meetings prior to the cut off date

Crescent Girl has cleared this up on the Berwick match thread this morning The compassionate grounds for the facility related to Mrs Lawson being admitted to hospital late Friday and therefore permission was granted for Richard to miss the meeting in order to be with her Seems perfectly reasonable to me and the ensuing debate wouldve been avoided with a better worded Lakeside press release Best wishes to the Lawsons - hope any scare is over and recovery is full and speedy

Thanks for clearing it all up Glad to hear that Mrs L is recuperating at home - best wishes to both of them

Howarth was not reported as ill He was explained as having an injury of a bruised thigh from a racing incident so very different

Thats rules out section 'g' out of 'a' to 'n' of the facilities section of the regs then Perhaps you could indicate under which of the remaining options the facility was granted......

Far from it - perhaps a cliche but what about transparency? Also regarding Lemo being happy with it - so what if he is. Two teams cant between themselves just choose to ignore the regs

More a case of ensuring the regulations are followed If that means a 7 day lay off then so be it if thats what the particulat regulation states Whether the Aces management choose to enquire about his validity is irrelevant.

So why not just put on compassionate grounds in the first place I think everyone accepts that around births and deaths etc

Which means a 7 day sit out from the day of the meeting missed
