Star Fever Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 While I am unhappy we haven't got a guest tonight,maybe just maybe they can't actually get a good enough guest and the best option is to go R/R.There is only Poole,Swindon,Eastbourne and Leicester to choose from. From Poole you can't have Darcy I would imagine there next top two would be at home in Poland so that them out of the equation.Swindon Batch and Kildemand are ok but would they be in Denmark as they haven't got a meeting in the UK until Thursday(Does Batch ride Denmark?).Eastbourne is Kylmakorpi spending time in Finland,B Pedersen no thanks Woodward? Michelsen?.That leaves Leicester and only really Mads but could he also so be in Denmark.Realistically these riders are the best options but are any of them available.It's pretty much a nightmare for the promotion with so few options to choose from. Dakota North may have taken the booking but just imagine the uproar from fans then. So maybe we should trust the promotion in what they are saying,and that they couldn't get a good enough guest on this occasion Dunno about Denmark but most of those will be in Sweden tomorrow, so its possible that yes - there simply isn't a suitable guest available.

Midland Red Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Red, maybe he thought he was fit to go on saturday, but it turned out he really wasnt after giving it ago, so then declared himself unfit for tonight, with of course a doc's note to prove it. Take Ward he hasnt been fit for Poole but has done a Polish meet and a couple of Grand Prixs. But earlier on you suggest Lyon had had 3 weeks to book a guest for this injury  No, I fully understand what you and others have said - I'm just so p155ed orf with riders not committed to "bread and butter" league racing for their contracted teams as opposed to this dreadful "Ole Olsen All Stars Extravaganza Series" which has helped (albeit with the assistance of the BSPA of recent years) to ruin the sport in this country Let's get things back on track in this country and run only with riders 100% committed to the leagues - not to OOASES, European Championships, foreign leagues - we used to, and it worked, and if it means reverting to low-cost kit and semi-professional riders, them so be it And stop creating problems with doubling up and down - have enough racing in the UK for all who want to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Hammer Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 True and that attitude by KL is the reason why when it it comes to the play-offs Poole will have the psycological edge over Lynn . No way would Ford be turning up without a decent guest if Pawlicki had been injured 3 weeks ago. Â Lynn are weakened with r/r but there is no reason for them to be completely out of contention for a point if they really get their heads down. Six rides for NKI should bring 16/17/18 points or 19/20/21 with a likely t/r. As VOR has already said, Rory makes no secret of the fact that it is one of his favourite tracks and has guested enough to know his way round. Nine points from six rides is more than possible . The other four only have to get 18 points from 18 rides and it's game on. Throw in the fact that most matches have gone down to heat 14or 15 at lakeside this year before the final league point has been decided and all things are possible. Hammers start as favourites but if KL show the sort of grit they will need to show if they are serious about the play-offs it's not beyond the realms of possibility they could get someting out of this. Totally agree E I Addio. Lakeside will pile on the early points, loose big-time to a TR, and then struggle against Iversen & Schlein in the closing heats. Lewis Kerr should do well here and the rest of the team only need a few points. We need PK & Watty to be firing if we are to get all 3pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Â I am neither a romantic, nor a dreamer. I believe if you enter a competition, you do so to try and win every time.. Taking your attitude about Lakeside match, why bother to send a team at all, just give them the points. Why cheat the public out of their hard earnt cash. Â I know that Lakeside is a hard place to go to. It offers massive home advantage. But we have to raise above that and compete. Yeah I know we have been rubbish there in the past, but we have a new team this year who are learning fast. I'm sure giving them the chance we will do well. There are teams who go there with a win mentality and have been successful, whereas other teams go with this defeatist belief and come away with nothing. Its obvious which ones we are. Â Whether we like Lakeside or not, while they are in the league, we have to treat them like everyone else. Once you start picking matches to win, and others to lose, we might as well pack up..... Â 'PMPO' , You say you will be FUMING if we have RR on Thursday against Poole. So why the double standards?? I'm delighted we have saved our pennies tonight, and booked the WORLD CHAMPION on Thursday night : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 The only chance of excitement tonight is if Lakeside riders all go off 15 meters in every race... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 The point is Lynn have known of this problem for 3 weeks loads of time I would suggest to organise a replacement if they had wanted to. I wonder if this meeting was later on the season and Lynn needed say 1 point to make the play-offs. Would we have gone with R/R. However that's what Buster and Rob have gone with, seems a business decision not a sporting one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were hoping Bjerre would have been fit.Riders nowadays won't go for look can you ride for us in 3 weeks time but we also might not need you.They ride in other countries and earn a living from it so they wont be messed about like that. Back in the old days riders would have held on for a possible booking as it was the UK where they earnt their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy17 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Outside assistance, not influence. No one touched him therefore he should get the point. Â Ref has dropped a bollock here, and saying he'd like to give him the point to keep the score interesting? Whats that all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
