Should Kerr be allowed to guest as he rode for his own club in the other semi-final. I did question whether he should have rode in the semi against Ipswich. In the play-offs he wouldn't be allowed so what difference should the cup make.

I suppose the difference between the play-offs and the KO Cup,is that if any team needed a rider because one of their riders are injured in the KO Cup you have no PL teams to choose a rider from,in the play-offs you have 3 teams to choose from.

You have the three teams that were knocked out in the first round Belle Vue, Oxford & Birmingham to pick from, same as the three teams to not qualify for the play offs to pick from.

That's a very good point Bash

I'm very disappointed in myself for letting that one slip past me!

"Guests for the semi-final(s) of the KO Cup can only be selected from teams that have been eliminated from that competion".Sheffield were eliminated,so I can't see a problem.

Edit:I can't actually see anything stopping the 2 teams that make the play off final from using a rider from the other two teams knocked out in the semi finals if needed.

100% agree

Perhaps another example of a poorly written regulation as I would presume that it was meant to cover teams eliminated in prior rounds but it doesn't state that

After all the plan was for the 2 semis to gave each leg on the same nights which would've prevented this situation

I believe the play offs is different and the regulation is written to ensure a rider only turns out for 1 team at any point in the 'mini series'

The rule for the play offs imo doesn't stop teams using different guests,it just stops the riders from guesting from different teams.So for instance Ipswich could use Kvech,Klindt and NKI for instance as long as they haven't ridden for anyone else.Unless I have read that wrong.

Massive win for you guys. well done. 
 

now if your serious about winning a trophy. 
 

you got to bring in Rob lambert for cook 

Too right, who should we have Lambert or Kerr.We are going to go Kerr because we won't push the boat out.He has had good crowds this season to warrant paying for Lambert imo.It would probably pay for itself anyway with the extra people that would come to watch solely because the prodical son had returned.

We have notoriously been one of the lowest payers though,albeit riders would get paid all the time and on time.

I’ve heard on the grape vine that Robert could be in the team before Monday’s cup final first leg 🤷🏻‍♂️ straight swap for Ben… don’t know how true it is though 

I for one don’t believe it though… it’s just something I’ve heard

Neither do i. Way to expensive, just to win a cup. And to late for top 4.

We’ll have him back at some point this season for sure, anniversary season after all 🤷🏻‍♂️ we brought him in late a few seasons ago when we were rock bottom and no cup final haha
