No Zach for the remainder of the season following a crash at Swindon last night.: http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2931 Get well soon.

Hammers have two reserved dates, 11th August and 16th September. Neither Belle Vue Aces/Colts have meetings on those dates although the latter has Glasgow in action which would rule out Bewley and Smith. Additionally and there appears to be a number of Fridays available. What is even more bizarre is the fact that on the original fixture list 11th August was the date set for Hammers v Belle Vue/Coventry.

There is no Rob Branford for this one having been ruled out for the season due to a shoulder injury. Ben Morley is the guest replacement. Also I believe Justin Sedgmen is not available resulting from concussion sustained last Monday although there is no mention in the match preview. He missed the Ipswich v Sheffield match on Wednesday. This being the case, only Ben Barker is eligible from the main 1 - 5 meaning three rides will be allocated to reserves so its looking like a busy night for Robbo.

Just changing the subject slightly. Rob Branford season is over due to a shoulder injury. http://www.ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1452

Who are these possible decent replacements because I cannot see any. Check for yourself: http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/nl17_issue_21.pdf

Nothing yet on updates. The nearest I can get is from the Wolves match preview: WOLVES: Lindgren Howarth Schlein Thorssell Masters Perks Greaves RYE HOUSE: Harris Barker Wells Sedgmen Nicholls Robson Branford Danny Ayres replaces the injured Rob Branford. Other than that, and if these are the riding orders, I cannot see the logic of Rye House having two riders coming out in heat one who can't gate

Yes.

Rob Branford ruled out tonight through injury. Danny Ayres guests which appears strengthen the Rockets

An even stronger case for moving this meeting is the fact that Max Clegg will be missing for Buxton as well.

Rye House will have to hope he's in the right team when they visit Wolves this evening.then.

Two reserved dates, 11th August and 16th September.

I believe I am right in thinking Newcastle will have priority over Alfie in the event of a fixture clash. That being the case he will miss the home match v Buxton on the 14th July in addition to Zach who will be riding for Swindon at Belle Vue. Possible fixture change wonder?

If that's the case good. I couldn't find any ruling so just used the example of Ricky Wells who came in to replace Davey Watt on his current MA for Edinburgh at that time.

I assume it will be his Redcar average, 7.21 whilst Sedgmen will be on his outgoing average from Belle Vue, 5.48. Since the Premiership can now only re-declare at a maximum of 42 this team change doesn't appear to work as it comes out at 42.95. Ruling: Supplementary Regulation - SR1705 Classification of Speedway Regulation Art 18.7.3 Team Composition 18.7.3 For the SGB Premiership ONLY, it must not exceed 42.00 points in any declaration following the issue of established CMA for 2017, except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal to, or lower than the rider being replaced.

When Poole were at Rye earlier this season, Kurtz scored 16. KIng managed 6 for Leicester.

Indeed you have Brady Kurtz and appear to have won the battle of the guests. Rye have booked Danny King. http://www.ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1432.1

If the away team nominates 1 and 3 in heat one this will often happen as up to heat six the away side will have 1 and 3 for four of them. However, from heat seven, the home side have four successive inside gates and three of these resulted in 5 -1 to the Witches.

Declaring a result by heat 10 is unsatisfactory anyway as the home rider #5 and the away #1 have had only two scheduled outings. It also denies the away TM being able to nominate his rider #1 for a tactical ride if needed and still available. Originally, declaration was heat 12 which was just about OK but it surely shouldn't be any earlier than heat 11.

He's a three-point NL rider who rode for Rye House last season. He is no Kyle Bickley nor Tom Brennon but picked up a points for the Raiders including a few race wins along the way. A better prospect than Couzins and Laurence I believe.

I wonder if Robbo could be the next following the sudden retirement of Josh Auty at Scunthorpe.

It may not but it could maintain the current spectator base. After all, who would you rather watch, Mason or Hurry?

He'll be much better once he's had his tea. Kennet(t).

Read this from the Speedway Regs. 18.12.4 The Guest assumes the position and MA of the Missing rider.

Now at Rye House 2pm. http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.32231

Zach already rides on Thursdays for Swindon.
