Sir Sidney Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago 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.

I agree with the logic that a transfer should be allowed, but if the clubs don't plan for these situations & have to use guests till the end of the season, it's their fault!

szkocjasid Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) 1 hour ago, LisaColette said: Gilkes is injured, Howarth isn't. Glasgow need a signing more than Scunthorpe did. Scunny could have used guests or r/r all season, but Glasgow only get a 28 day facility. Means there could be a situation where a rider leaves a club, but they can't sign a replacement & the facility runs out before the Important matches at the end of the season 🤔 Edited 19 hours ago by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s perfectly reasonable that you are allowed to replace an injured rider and thought it has always been the rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too,,i can see the reasoning behind the deadline,it was to stop the Robert Lambert situation of signing someone in time for the playoffs,but thats dropping a rider not replacing an injured one. And how was Scunny supposed to plan on the possibility Gilkes gets injured a week ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how was Scunny supposed to plan on the possibility Gilkes gets injured a week ago? You’re getting your Lamberts & Woofindens mixed up there. Robert has never taken the place of a dropped rider in time for the play offs but he has twice replaced a badly injured rider. One of those occurrences though was against the rules.

Easy mistake to make given our play off injury jinx. Brady was injured the year before with Charles being the one to miss out the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Anyway back to Poole 2026!!😊 With fixtures now coming thick and fast for August I'm aware of one rider who has had positive discussions with the club - but not sure whether as a guest or permanent?! As with any rider - it will please some but not others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
