"New signing Edward Kennett – a 28-day replacement for Erik Riss – makes his debut for Cheetahs. Kennett brings a wealth of experience to Cheetahs – the 39-year-old twice finished second in the British Final, while he was British Under-21 Champion in both 2005 and 2007."

This was from the 2nd of June so 28 days would have been the last day of June. I'm honestly not sure whether he has signed another 28-day replacement contract (which would expire on the 28th of July) or whether he is just guesting now for Oxford until the situation with Riss becomes fully known.

A 28 day contract is a minimum of 28 days. Hence Redcar signing Nicolai Klint on a 28 day contract and he stayed 15 weeks.,

What’s the rule on signings after 75% of fixtures are completed?

Not sure if it applies when replacing an injured rider, but doubtless someone will correct me if it's wrong.

Google ai says no. Only riders returning from injury after cut off can come into the team 🤷‍♀️

But link they use is from 2024, so unless it has changed since then 👀

If that’s the case, we have until this Friday or 12th to find a new rider.

Didn't scunthorpe sign Jacob hook after they had completed more than 75% of their fixtures to replace an injured rider?

75 0/0 of fixtures meaning what exactly? League, BSN, KO and everything?

16 League 4 BSN group fixtures and 2 cup matches should give 22 meetings  then 75% of this is the cut off for team changes, unless the  " in the best interests of the sport" rules applies to scunny and the pilots 😜

Are Scunny expected to run with 6 men?  i can understand if it was a transfer but surely you are allowed to replace an injured rider?

from what ive been told glasgow were stopped of signing a rider to cover howarth because the paperwork took a day longer to process over the deadline

might be just normal speedway rumours or might be true but glasgow now have only 6 riders so why are scunny any different

Personalised the regs

 

010.3.1 Transfer Window

No team changes will be allowed once that team has completed 75% of their 

fixtures in the following competitions, not including semi-finals and finals: -

• Premiership League

• Championship League & BSN Series combined

Except riders returning to the team after injury who can only replace their 

original replacement.

Not applicable in the British Development League.

Scunny have done 11 champ and 4 bsn so 15 out of 20,,75%

Glasgow have done 10 champ and 4 bsn so 14 out of 20..70% so i cant see why they would be blocked

Gilkes is injured, Howarth isn't.
