I think it works like this: Rules state that for an unauthorised absence the replacement is a no facility guest [ i.e. 75% guest]. That is the default position. What a club may then do is declare the rider to be withholding his services and only then do they become eligible for a 100% full fat guest, and as a consequence at that point the rider receives a ban.

It has been common practice for years for teams to make that choice.

Because when he has been unjustifiably missing Plymouth have not used a guest for him. Instead they have gone the "no facility" route which means a facility of a 75% guest. Me thinks this would be better understood if the terminology wasn't so batrubbish contradictory!

Ipswich Witches vs Oxford Spires Thursday 7th August

Is it not because Palovaara has yet to make his debut so MM comes in as a 75% guest? -

More like a light breeze last night -
But if crowds are (say) twice/three times that much wouldn't it just lead the application being turned down on traffic grounds?

Oxford Chargers v Belle Vue Colts 27/7/25 3pm

He should have accepted the booking, could have had 9 rides then [8 in practice because ht 9 might have been a bit tricky] -
Extra rides for Ingram and Perry is probably doing more for rider development than drafting in Sam Woods.

It doesn't. Ask Oxford.

Plymouth Gladiators v Oxford Cheetahs 26/7/25 7pm
arnieg replied to NumberEight's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Isn't it: guest or R/R for missing rider followed by ban for withholding services or 75% guest and no ban. - looks like Plymouth have gone for the latter. -
I thought of that but as the potential missed match is his debut wouldn't that be a 75% guest? [And therefore lower than Cook]
