Sorry for asking a silly question. I thought Jonas was stopped from guesting for a team last year as he didn't have an average. Sure I seen someone say Emil couldn't guest for Nikki P at the start of the season for the same reason.

Can you guest with an assessed average?

Rory is number 1. Possibly the 2 Birmingham riders at 2 and 3. (Sedgeman at 2 and bachelor at 3).

Berwick team lineup on the Berwick v Poole thread. Have 2, 3, 4 and 5 wrong.

Have you not seen the script? Plymouth need to win by 6 points to get into the playoffs. Edinburgh need a Berwick win by 2 or less. Berwick need to win by 4. So my friend told me.

I would rather have Coles than at least 2 of those riders. hook and Thomson are both injured.

Referee shocking.

Is it not better for Plymouth if Berwick win? With Edinburgh having won at Berwick and Birmingham, Plymouth surely want one of the away wins canceled out to improve their chances.

When was the last time Killeen raced in this country? Thought he had been injured (not at Berwick with Oxford teams).

If he is 15th in the averages and at least 3 riders aren't in the tournament (Vaculik, Laguta and Sayfutdinov) then he probably is one of his countries top 5 riders. I am just taking Poland as that is where the competition is being held.

Craig moved in at least 4 of his races. Why Jason wasn't excluded in heat 12 is baffling as that would be the 3rd or 4th time he was moving. Good enjoyable meeting made better with the banter between the fans.

Not what the Berwick website said yesterday (Scott tried to get a guest and was unsuccessful). Team would have been declared before Rory was injured.

Could be things outside of speedway affecting him? His dad did step back from managing the Bullets then the Bandits for personal reasons. Hopefully he kicks on in the second half of the season.

As much as Emil is possibly the best rider in the league, I would keep Doyle first. Having a number one who you know will probably stay with the team for years and race in this country (unless Swindon get going again) cannot be understated.

Silly rules cost promoters money. How did Edinburgh drop Micky Simpson on a 4.46 average (to get Max Clegg in for Kyle) and were then able to reintroduce him into the team on a 3 a couple of weeks later (this was mentioned at a Bullets match). Therefore Berwick lost 3 admissions last weekend as we weren't working and did other things.

Riss had gated and was leading heat 13 when it was pulled back for masters jumping the start. Nicholas with a flyer in the re run and got away with it. Oxford riders both moved in heat 14 and got away with it (got my program wrong as had hook in 3rd place also). Scott said he was disappointed along with Sam about missing a maximum as you like to get maximums especially away from home. He said the fuel cap he lost during the race had no bearing on the heat result.

Different team manager, different ideas? When I was going every week with my dad, Berwick had Adrian and Marcin at 1 and 2. Also had Ricky and David Bellego at 1 and 2. Has worked before having 2 heatleaders at 1 and 2.

Only one tactical I think

Was Like Harrison out for 28 days? Didn't think Workington waited 28 days to reintroduce Luke. When does the 28 days start (is it the first match or when the declaration is made).

If Berwick finished top of that list, they would make the playoffs. Need positive results against these teams and pick up anything against the other 5. Was at Redcar and should have went to Edinburgh like you instead.

Would he not come back to Edinburgh on the average they released him on? Was told a few years ago by someone that if the rider was dropped another team could sign him on his new average but the team releasing him had to sign him on the average he was replaced on (unless his average had went up).

Josh hit the fence a couple of times in heat 2 so probable reason for his withdrawal. Kelsey Dugard didn't hit the fence or anything and didn't have 3 rides. Unless I'm mistaken, it was said Dugard had reinjured himself (shoulder I think). Should the problem about having 3 rides not be directed in that area (obviously not injured in the meeting). It was a probationary ref so should be up on the rules you would think (referee on centre green according to Dick during the parade).

Would Jonas's brother and another 5 pointer fit instead of a HL? Might be a different option.

See on the website that Ben is back in the team as an injury replacement for Archie.

Thanks. Kieran is just above 3 from last season so would have been unavailable even though he isn't in any NDL team (wondered if being lower than the 2 reserves would have counted).
