Tigerish Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 So Richard Lawson starts his stint as a replacement Tiger tonight after the farce at Workington yesterday. I hope he goes well as he has big shoes to fill at Owlerton. Good luck and Tigers to edge it tonight, hopefully by 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Why is Stead not riding? The World Cup match was in this country on Saturday, he is not racing again until the final next Saturday, even if he has to be at practice on Friday it still leaves 4 days to get there or 3 days if he wants to watch the race off in Poland. Riders manage to ride in 3 different Leagues and countries during the season, so why can't Stead make it to Sheffield. It means both the Tigers and any visiting Rebels fans miss out on the chance of seeing him race. Just read on BSPA web site that Alan Rossiter said the riders will fly out as a team on WEDNESDAY, that's WEDNESDAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense really as you say they race several times a week normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 SWC regs - even Richie Worrall who as reserve is unlikely to get ride wont be in the Witches side this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hope all our injured riders have had a practice and are fully fit otherwise we could be in for a beating,not what we want in front of the cameras. Good luck to all our lads tonight lets hope its a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Once a rider signs in to a SWC meeting he can't ride anywhere else whilst he is still involved in the completion Who made that rule? Stead will miss Somerset V Sheffield 29/7, Plymouth V Sheffield 1/8 and King misses Redcar V Newcastle 31/7, and Worrall misses Somerset v Ipswich 1/8. If Saturday's final is rained off and run on the Sunday, as has happened before, riders will miss the 4's on Sunday, as happened to Somerset when Doyle was missing. Obviously it must be impossible (WHY?) to re arrange fixtures to avoid riders absences, as otherwise it would have been done.

Cannot see why they cannot ride as they normally race many nights a week, another stupid rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of which give a flying f@&t for British speedway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
