Fozzie4388 Posted Friday at 09:13 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:13 PM Scunthorpe can't change their team now as they've Rode 75% of their meetings now. So afraid you're stuck with Palm Toft now. Only 3 more home meetings this season though to put up with him for. (2 league and a playoff Semi-Final) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Head Posted Monday at 04:09 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:09 PM More bad luck for Dan Gilkes following the training crash with Ace Pijper at Glasgow over the weekend. Shoulder damage might rule him out for the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he racing in Poland? Edit - looking at his Facebook page for his racing he rode in a meeting in Aus in June. Can’t imagine he would come all the way from Aus for a handful of meetings.

Only change allowed would be to bring back an injured rider after a temporary change ie Erik Riss / Charles Wright scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a time to use that ruling, it would've been for Edinburgh maybe 5 years ago (if my memory is correct it goes something like this). Nathan Greaves retired just before the end of August (transfer cut-off date), William Lawson who had been dropped earlier could only be reintroduced using the September averages, couldn't replace Greaves in August. So Edinburgh had to use guests for the rest of the season, same thing happened to Redcar when Connor Bailey retired. I understand they don't want teams to sign riders just for the play-offs, but an rule that facilitates more guests being used needs looking at.

Wherever you’re getting that info from is way wide of the mark. Nothing to do with anything on Jacob’s side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthafence Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Crazy to bring hook in on an inflated average and he’s only ridden once this whole season in a low quality Aus field. Will take him a few meetings to get going and scunny only have a few meetings really 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, SteveLyric2 said: Yes but we are talking about the Chairman of BSPL who will have the 'best interests of speedway' in mind! Hows your teams efforts to find a replacement going? no doubt playing catch up on the fixtures you will keep using Kennett then get a ringer in for the playoffs? Best interests of Poole speedway.. Gilkes was injured in the crash with Ace Pjiper not retired,,Gilkes was a replacement for Lambert so we cant bring him back. Well done on getting a new rider,ive no doubt if he is over her or coming over he will get loads of track time as we dont race there until the 21st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
