Very good point he was outstanding the commitment he showed I would take him at Poole next year in place of Zach cook 100%

Jeppesen is nearly a point above Zach, if his average fits, of course he's be preferred to Cook.

Can't see it happening unless Poole move up.

Agree think it’s time for Zach to move on.

Shouldn't really be making comments about the Lawson situation, it says he on compassionate leave not paternity leave 

Compassionate leave is not allowed either. That's what Oxford asked for Jacob Clouting.

Story here: PREVIEW: Key battle for Chargers in Scotland – OXFORD SPEEDWAY

Relevant paragraphs:

Chargers will be going into action at Edinburgh without skipper Jody Scott, who is due to be riding for his Cab Direct Championship club Redcar at Glasgow on the same evening.  They will also be missing Max Broadhurst (ruled out for the rest of the season with a hand injury) and Jacob Clouting (due to the birth of his daughter).

Cooper Rushen and Harry Fletcher will guest for Scott and Broadhurst respectively. Chargers were due to utilise rider replacement for Clouting, but he has not been granted compassionate leave by the Speedway Control Bureau and Chargers will use the unattached Kieran Douglas instead.

 

Personally, I think speedway needs to move with the times and allow such leave, but unfortunately it doesn't.

Another nail in its coffin

Sadly, I think the SCB will step in and block the guest, just as they did with R/R for Jacob Clouting for Oxford Chargers at Edinburgh. British Speedway is in the dark ages and doesn't do paternity/compassionate leave.

Yes, but don’t Poole get special treatment?🤨

Did I dream it or did Sheffield get a facility for Jack Holder for family reasons earlier in the season?

That was down as family emergency though rather than compassionate leave. Howarth also missed a meeting due to family emergency i believe. 

On Redcars SM pages (mainly X) they are still saying Lawson, so who knows! 🙃🤷‍♀️

It will be Ellis. Most speedway clubs are pony when it comes to updating social media.  Ellis will probably score less than Lawson.
