Hello.......... The team has been re-declared.
ps. Mdmc82 (and others it seems) working to their old dog-eared rulebook from years ago, rather then the 2015 version.
A PL guest is permitted for riders for whom there is 'no facility'!!
The rule is quite clear (whether its Josh or Davey) A guest with the same or lower average may be used for any 1-5 rider. (SCB Rule 17.6)
Its only if there is 'no facility' for a missing rider that the PL-only rule kicks in.
Updated on the other thread - Taken from Poole website - Redeclaration now accepted. Rule 17.6 allows a guest for any 1-5. Rory Schlein guests in the evening, subject to coming through his earlier meeting at Lakeside.
ps. Looking at the latest forecast and depending on when the overnight rain stops allowing trackstaff to start working on the track, could there be a delayed start?
It all depends on the timing of flights, when the practice is and how keen riders are to do the practice. Holder initially wanted more practice laps on his Polish home track - hence not being available for the friendly at Somerset - aside from getting his 'dead wrist' the night before.
Well, not too far wrong!
'nuff said!!
And I'm not saying anything about the track.
PS. I expect Kennett, Nilsson and Bech to do much better next Wednesday!!
Could be another Poole Select at Coventry then?? Possibility (but only a possibility) of no Holder, North, Gracjonek, Starke........??
and as for Lakeside v Swindon - possibly no Batchelor, Jonsson, Bech??
I think Lakeside will do what they've done in recent seasons - win pretty much everything at home early season and not perform that well away. They will lead or be in the top 4 of the EL for the bulk of the season and then end up outside the play-offs, when it matters most.
KL to win tonight 54-36 - subject to the weather/conditions!
