Yes you can reasonably say it was intended as a like for like replacement! The rules say that there is a cut off where changes cannot be made - that date has passed. Therefore, for an injury replacement, it should be a like for like - otherwise you are effectively strengthening after the cut off date - which isn't allowed.

Well it's play-off time again and the best 4 teams are in it. This is a tough tie to call but I will go for an 8 point win to the Aces, 49-41 (but obviously hope that Swindon sneak a win)

As I have said several times - it's not how you start it's how you finish and if you finish bottom you will have been the worst EL team this season

What I read was that changes could not be made after the cutoff unless it was for a season ending injury. To me that implies you can only replace a rider like for like or you would be making changes after the cutoff date. We will soon find out who is right if/when Coventry make an announcement. It matters not anyway as Poole will win

I agree - anything else and they are strengthening the team which shouldn't be allowed. If they wanted to strengthen, they should have done it before the cutoff. So a rider up to JK's average then.

...and Leicester finish above Wolves in the EL table (on the BSPA) website. Oh - how we laughed!

Who would have thought it - Wolves beaten by Leicester at home! What was stevebrum saying about the league's worst team?

Or BV I think

Didn't expect that but 2 points for the Robins - well done. Playoffs should be Poole vs Coventry and Swindon vs BV

Coventry would be my pick for the league leaders

Well done BV. Commiserations to KL

Breaking news - Coventry fans in Hans rant (again!!). Swindon fans would welcome him back in a heartbeat!

It is a replacement rider only - so up to Joonas' average!

It says it on updates - Well it must be true then

Well done to both teams in making the playoffs. Now - who will Poole pick?

Great ride from King - done nothing all night and then gates off the outside

I take back what I said about Rose - rode well in Heat 12 for the win!

He makes Rosco look like a saint

Comedy? Well he is a joke and always plays the victim card which is frankly laughable!

And what about Garrity or Fricke moving previously? I agree that Killer jumped by the way

For the same reason as he let Garrity and Fricke jump?

Havvy - what an @rse! Victimised? Absolute plonker!

How was Andersen excluded ? Rose ran into him. Ref is having a shocking meeting (and let Killer jump the start)

Garrity got away with a jump start there and Fricke in the next heat. But poor Sarj gets pulled back - lol

Crowd? That's an exaggeration. I can only see a handful of people so hardly a crowd
