shazza Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I`m a huge Lambert fan and thought he was fantastic for us last season but i have to agree 9 meetings is too many to miss and if we have the chance to go down another route then we should.

Sings4Speedway Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 As things stand though there are some fairly useful guests available? Based upon Simons current average of 5.19 you could use Hall, Sarjeant, Rosen, Roynon, James Wright or Robin Aspegren and all should score similar points to what Lambert would achieve either home or away (especially at reserve). Obviously average changes and availability plays a part but if some smart bookings are made you could play the system and profit nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Will lambert start at reserve? Cos I thought you could only have a guest if it was a reserve or number one missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Will lambert start at reserve? Cos I thought you could only have a guest if it was a reserve or number one missing? Good point! Although Lambert is largely predicted by some to drop to reserve early on? I know in the NL you can use a guest if a draft rider is missing on PL duty so it would make sense if the same applied for PL to EL draft?

Baldyman Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Not sure myself, they change the rules so often Edited February 2, 2016 by baldyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Correct Baldyman ... well those were the 2015 rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 And no one is going to tell us the 2016 rules just in case they need to be ammended to suit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I thought that the 2015 Regulations for the PL allowed a facility of a Guest, or Rider Replacement, for: an absent No. 1; an absent PL Double-Up Rider; an absent Elite Draft Rider or; an absent Reserve. If the absent rider did not fall under any of these classifications, then RR had to be used - unless there was more than one missing rider in the team's 1 to 5, when 1 x RR facility should be used and Guests for all others. The EL has introduced a regulation for 2016 that RR has to be used for an absent rider who is 4th or 5th in the team's averages, to reduce the number of guest riders used, but I can't see that this applies to the PL. Straightforward really... Edited February 2, 2016 by macca56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Good on himWell sort of good. Fair play to Simon for putting Panthers first, he continues to show loyalty to the club. However it is an opportunity gone to strengthen up in an obvious area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZODIAK Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not sure I'd be overly happy with that if I were a Peterborough fan. Ok nice to see the commitment from him and fair play, but there's the excuse gone to strengthen up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not sure I'd be overly happy with that if I were a Peterborough fan. Ok nice to see the commitment from him and fair play, but there's the excuse gone to strengthen up. I'm sure almost all Panthers fans will be more than happy to have Simon in the team full time. As for an excuse to strengthen up, we already had Simon signed up so why would we want to alter it now just to get close to the points limit. If things do not work out as the season progresses then is the time to think of changes not now. Ged has put his faith in Simon and he in turn has done the same likewise by declining the Kings Lynn offer and like most of Panthers fans i'm more than happy to go along with that 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only then when the fixture clashes were highlighted and it seems that certain sponsorship on the Pboro side of things was threatened did he change his mind.

So common sense prevailed which ever way you look at it . I'm happy with that and there is no point into trying to see something you are guessing at,,thats called making mischief and we don't want any part in that . Simon has made his decision and that's final 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Good on him, just hope for his sake he isn't dropped when it comes to strengthening if it's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolPanther Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I am happy with the outcome, I hope Simon can build on his results last year,crack on and prove that the loyalty shown by both parties is rewarded.
