kelvinht Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 2 days away and no team news as normal? Will NKI be there, Jacobsen or Huckenbeck and who is stepping in at reserve? To many unknowns to have a stab a score, but hoping weather will be better than last attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 No Lambert or Rose. Thought King's Lynn came before Newcastle for those 2,or is it because it's a re-arranged fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moan about missing riders to overseas fixtures, and yet the Elite and Premier Leagues cannot get their own houses in order fixture wise!! You couldn't make it up.......!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thought King's Lynn came before Newcastle for those 2,or is it because it's a re-arranged fixture. Yep, let's hope we have some good replacements. How we need a win .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Rearranged meeting so Newcaslte take priority. So really apart from Schlein and Troy, no one else is guaranteed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with Kerr and Starke as EDRs,and no doubt Nicholls may get a call.I would prefer Nicholls to R/R anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Definitely Nicholls would be a good call. We are too weak to use R/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 At times, the BSPA is beyond belief. Surely, it should be irrelevant who fixture was arranged first, Lambert and Rose are Lynn riders, riding on their proper race night and the Elite league club cant use their own riders. 2 questions come into play here; 1, Why has the PL club got first call on a double up riders on our race day, 2,If that be the case why re-arranged a fixture knowing these riders will be missing... Not only are Lambert and Rose two big crowd draws at the AFA, but also their points scoring is imperative for success.. It will be impossible to replace them like for like plus any home advantage we may have, will be nullified by the inclusion of replacement guests... With attendances down and people losing interest, can you blame them when this sort of decisions are made.... People, with any thoughts that this league is run on a professional basic are simply deluded.......Would this sort of thing happen in Poland ?? or maybe Sweden? I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 A Micky mouse league with so much wrong with it, what has happened to the days of having a regular 1/7.Tonight Swindon have to win end of otherwise it is curtains for the rest of the season.Would rather beat a full strength Stars team but again the fans are treated with contempt.If i was a Stars fan i would be half tempted not to bother tonight we only have 1 fixture every fortnight and even then we cant have full strength teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point 2 is about the only thing I agree with, the Redcar Newcastle PL fixture is an original fixture so takes president over this re-arranged one, so it might be worth asking those at Kings Lynn why agree to a Thursday night fixture knowing full well they would be without two of their riders. And no this wouldn't happen on Poland or Sweden, as they run squad systems in the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not sure Nicholls would be a good choice as guest as he has quite a nasty looking am injury from grass tracking at the weekend No doubt that the club are on the ball they'll run with R/R for Lambert giving Iversen everyone in the top 4 an extra ride. Kerr maybe the guest for Rose Possible line-up 1. Iversen 2. Starke 3. R/R 4. Schlein 5. Batchelor 6. Jakobsen 7. Kerr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think double uppers should ride in the higher standard league where there is a clash but in the case of rearrangement the original fixture should always take precedence, it's not even a debate. Awful decision by Lynn I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castrolargh Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 R/R would be a nightmare I think. Ok Batchelor has looked sharper just lately , but it's bad enough Rory taking 4 rides , let alone 5 , so potentially looking at 5 or 6 points maybe 7 if guest at2 picks up a point.

tellboy Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Totally agree,just don't think R/R will get what Lambert would do.NKI and Batch maybe but Schlein has been pretty poor since being back and that would then leave the reserves inc Starke.Is Fricke fit now? How about the current World Champion.Woofy's average fits perfect as guest for Lambert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People, with any thoughts that this league is run on a professional basic are simply deluded.......Would this sort of thing happen in Poland ?? or maybe Sweden? I doubt it. I actually agree with the rule, I think it is one of the fairest rules. It's about being fair to the PL sides aswell. Without it you could see a promotor (who owns several of his riders) reschedule a match at a day's notice (which has happened before) leaving the PL team well and truly in the stinky stuff through no fault of their own. It's not like Buster is limited to the days he can run a meeting either. Given the fact there's no PL meetings on a Wednesday anymore, it is a bit baffling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Double uppers and double downers... If they get injured, that's 2 British Clubs that are then short of a rider, this also increases guests and R/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
