As someone has said and i believe is that the no7/RS that is protected.Plus i am sure you are not allowed a tactical in that race. edit:just had a quick look at the regs. Taken from the 2022 SCB speedway regulations In all Premiership Team competitions the #7 is protected in heats 2 and 8 and no replacements are permitted unless injured and confirmed in writing by the MO 012.4.4 Tactical Substitute (TS) Is not applicable in a 2 legged tie a) is permitted on only one occasion in heat 5 – 14, excluding heat 8, when a team is 6 or more points in arrears Plus i didn't know that if the R/S attains a high enough average he would ride in the 1-5 and the then lowest average rider will ride at 7.

A decent team manager would just replace him with the other reserve wouldn't they?Don't have to faff about to get him excluded just pull him and get the reserve in.

All this will do is put another addition to the rule book.The rule book has to many rules in it as it is.Why don't they just make every team make the declaration of their 1-7 by a certain date,obviously before any matches take place.Something like the end of February will do.

Didn't think a T/S was allowed in ht 8 anyway.

The rule is you can sign an injury replacement rider.So NKI would be allowed.

I don't think there was any mud slinging,it was just people interpreting the rules differently,which is totally understandable with how the rules are written. Good to see another top rider back in the UK.Just waiting for NKI now please.

I think so.I had a feeling since last week that he may carry on if things outside the UK allowed.Who knows how long he can carry on for.Unsure when the Swedish league starts,or whether he has dropped a team.Guaranteed payment from Buster if he stays,or possible non payment from Sweden if he goes there.I know what i would choose. Taken from the Wolves website. King's Lynn are led by former Wolf and the Monmore Green track record holder Niels-Kristian Iversen - adding extra spice to what already promises to be a tasty first league fixture in the Black Country.

R/R is a facility isn't it? Didn't Ipswich use their no8 last night instead of their other reserve.They didn't use him for the rising star who was absent.

Listening to Alex Brady the other week it seems he was refusing to ride,it just so happens he has gone and injured himself again now anyway. R/R will be permitted,but i still think we won't have to use it.Fikngers crossed of course.

The riders averages should remain the same until the end of May shouldn't they?So Zagar would fit anyway after you have completed 25% of the league meetings on May 19th.

We will have to wait and see i suppose

As Daniel Smith said,we would get a facility anyway.As it seems he is refusing to ride and as he don't ride for another club in this country that wouldn't bother him anyway.We should be through 25% of our matches anyway in the next 20 days(weather permitting),would Kildemand be back from his broken bones by then,doubt it.So we would be able to have the temporary injury signing again which would then take us over the 25% of PL matches permitted before we can make changes.

Why would the potential signing of Zagar for Belle Vue have any bearing on the Lynn replacement.Lynn's replacement would be through an injury

What about Iversen with Iversen

I'm unsure on the rule tbh.But if it is breaking the rule you can't just throw the toys out of the pram and well we will pull out of the league then.

Excellent from our reserves going by the updates.Looks like we carried Lawson and Pickering a bit tonight,but still got the win. I'm like you Speedball not getting carried away atm,only with watching Pickering i am a bit. Can't believe we have doubled our wins already from last season,that's a positive straight away.

Think Ipswich are in a much better position tonight than they were on Monday night.They have Riss and Heeps back so this is their normal 1-5,plus they have Shanes in for an out of form Rowe.So they are then missing Starke which will be a miss to the score chart you would think.But they are replacing him with Hume who many fans thought should have been given a chance instead of having a guest on Monday.So now he is being given his chance.

Most certainly,going from the 3 excellent meetings he has had for Lynn so far this season.Certainly not afraid to mix it as proved with Doyle on Monday.

So as Kildemand is injured,Lynn can take Zagar from under Belle Vue's nose Think Lynn are sorted anyway

Still missing my point i think.Whilst i said speedway is mainly a points game,it's also about entertainment.I also said i would take Pickering on a 9,even though he probably wouldn't maintain that average his entertainment and everything that goes with him atm is worth it.Of course it's always nice to win,but the people i have spoke to after our home meetings haven't mentioned the wins just the about the great rides Pickering has had.As i said in a previous post too,atm newcomers to the sport want to see great racing they are not necessarily concerned with wins atm.Pickering is probably the main reason why the newcomers around me have come back again.It's hard to get kids of 14/15 out to speedway now but they have come back for more. If i was Sheffield i would have took Pickering over Ellis for the reason Sheffield would have still been the team to beat.Plus they would have one brilliant entertainer in their team.That's a brilliant recipe for getting people back.

I would like to think we will be at for strength on Monday.Only concern for me is it will be Pickering's first visit to Monmore.Hopefully he will realise quite quickly that the track isn't quite the same shape as Lynn's

There you go BB,buy 10 of them sell them for £4 each outside the stadium and there's your entrance fee on the profits.You would think there would be 10 kids who's parents would buy them one at a decent price of £4 wouldn't you.I might be one of those kids at the age of 53

3 newbies standing with us,dad and his 2 kids around 14 yrs old.They have now come to the first 2 meetings(enjoyed it last week).Would think the shift Pickering alone put in last week made them want to come back again yesterday.My daughters boyfriend went to speedway for the first time away at Peterborough and really enjoyed it and came to the home meeting.They couldn't make it yesterday as they are working away.It shows people can still enjoy the product if you can get the riders in like Pickering who they can enjoy to watch.It's not just his riding,but doesn't he enjoy bigging it up with the crowd.Must have to dig out my air horn from 35 years ago now.Are we still allowed to use them or are they outlawed now with many other things.

You must have missed my point about Pickering last week.Whilst i said i agree speedway is a numbers game pretty much now,sometimes you just have to take a rider that is going to entertain you every week rather than look at his average.And in Pickering we have an entertainer.I said to my mate if he ends up with a 9pt average this season we have to have him next season.The guy is pure entertainment so far. I would have taken Pickering over Ellis every day of the week incidentally for the entertainment,plus Sheffield would have had nearly an extra .7 to play with for team building purposes.

Josh Pickering to me is everything you want see from a rider.Balls of steel,a never say die attitude,and a great showman who loves to get the crowd involve.Like i said last week thanks Sheffield. What i now don't understand though is,the Lynn track has had plenty of criticism over the years about the lack of racing.But how come one rider can make it look a great track.So is it the lack of riders now that are willing to give it a go rather than the track being poor.
