Shaleshifter Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 On Wednesday the Edinburgh Monarchs ate back in town to take on the Pirates. Last time around Poole hit 60 points to send the Monarchs crashing out of the Bsn semi final. This could be a lot closer this time with Dan Thompson who missed out last time through injury and Kye Thomson who both go well at Wimborne Road. Then you add in Paco Castagna Justin Segeman and Jonatan Grahn they have a useful top 5. It maybe down to the reserves , at this moment I don't know who is guesting for the Pirates. Jordy Loftus didn't go well on his last visit or Mitchell Cluff but this is where meetings can be won or lost. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 (edited) Dan Thompson 2,3,1’,2,1 = 9+1 most definitely did ride in the BSN semi final at Poole….Paco Castagna didn’t ride, Joe Thompson rode in his place scoring 1,0,0,fx = 1 👍 Kye Thomson scored f,2,2,1,0 = 5. Not sure if you thought he didn’t ride last time? Edited August 3 by scottyfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 (edited) Looks like finding it difficult on the guest front. If they find it difficult now, imagine what it will be like in the playoffs when even more restricted! 'News of Poole's guest for Bowes is still to be confirmed, the August averages and the other meeting going ahead on Wednesday limit's the options.'

Might just being thick but why will finding a guest for play offs be more difficult? When only 3 other teams 5 active. Harrison looks like becoming an honorary Pirate, and he's very welcome too.

The 8 day rule to stop using the same guest every week rider availability, some riders who are not in the playoffs or cup matches may go back to wherever home is or on holiday.

Well they are finding it hard when its just 2 where they cant choose from and three is more than two, so less riders to choose from. Also have to take account of Aussies possibly going home if their teams havent made the playoffs. Also sorry to burst your bubble but Luke Harrison's average is too high now.

cyclone Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 (edited) Poole started using the facility for Bowes continuously since Berwick on 27th June. As the SCB regulation states: 010.5 FACILITIES g) injured whilst speedway racing This must be recorded on the Meeting Report by the Referee. This facility will apply automatically for a period up to a maximum of 28 days. The Promotion may apply to the SCB Co-Ordinator for an extension. Not seen this mentioned anywhere online, but must assume Poole have applied and been granted an extension of the 28 day maximum by the SCB Co-Ordinator?

Neila Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Probably under that new rule " in the best interests of speedway " and of course Poole 😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again not picking on Poole, it just happens to be on this thread, but surely 28 days is long enough to sign somebody? Don't think any facilities should be extended beyond that really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Poole but as you say they’ve had plenty long enough now to have signed a replacement rider, so I have zero sympathy that they are finding it more difficult to find a guest. They have been using Harrison and Kennett as reserve guests who are heat leaders at their respective clubs so I suspect they weren’t in a particular rush if the only available riders were weaker on paper than their recent guests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some transparency would definitely help when ocurrences like this arise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 (edited) But do they? It is well over 28 days since Fraser Bowes was injured, and we find they are using Jordan Jenkins of Berwick as a guest tomorrow night. Edited August 4 by crescent girl Wrong night!
