  1. Heat 8 delayed due to cat on the greyhound track,,,,waiting for you to say its faster than Tofty..
  2. I meant in general,,years ago teams would drop a rider to get another in just for the playoffs, they didnt do the UK but came in just for it
  3. Me too,,i can see the reasoning behind the deadline,it was to stop the Robert Lambert situation of signing someone in time for the playoffs,but thats dropping a rider not replacing an injured one. And how was Scunny supposed to plan on the possibility Gilkes gets injured a week ago?
  4. Scunny have done 11 champ and 4 bsn so 15 out of 20,,75% Glasgow have done 10 champ and 4 bsn so 14 out of 20..70% so i cant see why they would be blocked
  5. Are Scunny expected to run with 6 men? i can understand if it was a transfer but surely you are allowed to replace an injured rider?
  6. Wasnt he on a assesed 6 when he rode at Scunny on the friday then got reassessed on the weds to a 5?
  7. Because he was a 6 and too high?just keep using him as a guest it will be like you have signed him
  8. Hows your teams efforts to find a replacement going? no doubt playing catch up on the fixtures you will keep using Kennett then get a ringer in for the playoffs? Best interests of Poole speedway.. Gilkes was injured in the crash with Ace Pjiper not retired,,Gilkes was a replacement for Lambert so we cant bring him back. Well done on getting a new rider,ive no doubt if he is over her or coming over he will get loads of track time as we dont race there until the 21st
  9. The club a rider signs for first gets priority in my opinion,not a club in Poland Denmark or Timbuktu after, We all want whats best for a rider but you cant have clubs saying hes ours now he rides when we tell him.. But i quess theres soo many loopholes its hard to say who he signed for first...do you go by,, hes rode for us for 5 yrs or at the beginning of each season?maybe why riders say in May June they are pleased to say they have signed for another season in Poland? I think Pickering signed for us as he wasnt in a team abroad but got picked as he looked a promise,Scunny should get priority unless its a rearranged match but of his team decides they are racing on friday and he goes abroad he should be banned here for a week...but Poland would ban him for the season if he didnt go
  10. You can even play footy with the Scunny riders if you want...the above post sounds to me like someone years ago wanted to get involved but got told to F.....Off. i like the idea of a track walk, especially if someone explained what riders are looking for..its about understanding, how tracks change,which lines riders like, how much prep has gone into it, By talking to the riders you get to know whos approachable or who to avoid,anyway the riders arent working on their bikes its the mechanics..after 7pm they go and get changed then the bikes warm up
  11. A chance for Scunny to move to the top of the table tonite if we beat Oxford All riders as planned apart from Oxfords Mitch McDiarmid is riding Sgp2?..Sam Hagon guests.... Weathers says it gonna be nearly 29 degrees,,,,im predicting 55..35
  12. Ryan Kinsley, if i remember us Scunny fans couldnt believe it, he blasted around the outside of Nicholls to win then he came into the next race and won that too
  13. Well after what 6 weeks without a home meeting we now go all Julys fridays with a home fixture starting with Plymouth. Dan Gilkes is back and Plymouth have 2 injuries, no Ben Barker and now no Danny King who got injured last night.Tate Zischke guests for Barker, not sure who if anyone for King. We lost 49.41 at their place so the bonus point is up for grabs so we need every rider on it, no passengers and im expecting big scores from our 2 reserves.....52..38
  14. He got kicked out of happy hour at the pub
  15. Will the main road to the stadium be open on friday? the clowns at the council decided to retarmac from the main roundabout to the stadium on the hottest day of the year so the tarmac had no chance of setting...
  16. Theres no rising stars in this league
  17. I guess there are dispensations for missing matches,,being dead..death or births,jury service and schoolkids doing exams
  18. Dont worry there will be 28 pages of it on here
