I think the 6 man teams are a very realistic prospect given the current situation regarding availability of heat leaders

But what changes can you make realistically ?!

But what would you rather see R/R every week or a side with a full 7 ? Because with the availability of riders riding in Europe and having other matches in the same league and then trying to get someone who is the correct fit average wise it is highly unlikely that you will end up finding a guest if you bring in a rule like that

Jorgensen would now have to be on a converted average thought that would in excess of 9 so wouldn’t fit if that’s who your referring to

Yeah that’s exactly my opinion on the matter there is 0 riders to replace him so wouldn’t be a great idea to let him go

Good question I’m not sure when the 14 days begins whether it’s the day of the meeting he missed or the day after

The reason the club keeps going is because Rob runs a sustainable business model which includes a sensible team along with stock car racing, amateur meetings and private hires of the track. You can slag our “mickey mouse” club off all you want but we have kept going when giants of the sport haven’t over the the last 5 - 10 years so maybe bare that in mind in the future

Yeah likewise

When the racing got going it was a cracking meeting must say I was very impressed with Connor Coles

Aarnio given a 14 day ban for not making it back in time from the world long track event Jamie holder and Justin sedgmen to guest tomorrow along with a potential guest for Ryan Douglas who aggravated his shoulder injury in heat 1

In that case what about the Scunthorpe meeting then as his average is 2.00 in that one ?

Joe Alcocks also gone up 0.88 in average overnight suspect both are typos

At the end of the day it’s not like we are at the end of the season and have to get the meeting done there’s plenty more Fridays

Someone did put it on here within the hour of it being called off

The forecast did get worse and I’m about 10 minutes from the track and the meeting could no way have gone ahead

Yeah I’m about 10 minutes away from the track it couldn’t have gone ahead this evening

I’m just baffled that they’ve come from Newcastle when the meeting was postponed at 12 it was posted all over Scunthorpe and speedway GB social media along with the Scunthorpe speedway website! What more could be done ?!

Yes it was quite funny when he sent Ryan Douglas who was guesting out in heat 8 as a tac sub

Possibly because the fixture deadline was looming and Poole had some of their fixtures still to complete

Yeah weird one because Alcock shared it on his Instagram. The only reason why wouldn’t want to officially sign him is if we don’t want to redeclare and risk not being able to bring Kinsley back in with rising averages everywhere else in the team, I believe I’m recalling the rules correctly ?!

Says we have signed him on the website

Would like to Welcome Joe Alcock to the club for however long it may be hopefully can produce some good stuff on track

On speedway GB website it seems to say that Kinsleys injury will put him on the sidelines for 6 weeks so think we will only use guests however that will be a task in itself given his average and our Friday race night

I’m well aware I’ve been made to eat my words !

Well yeah I can imagine it’s rather annoying from Birmingham fans point of view
