leander Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The most likely scenario was that he was told to have Monday off, especially if there was a chance of him riding tonight where there are league points on offer. More likely he had to wait 24- 36 hours for the swelling to go down so they could make a more accurate assessment of how bad the break is. In that case it would have been foolish to ride on monday. I broke a bone in my foot once and the hospital told me straight away it was broke but to keep the weight off it, come back in 48 hrs then we can assess exactly how bad it is (when swelling went down) and to decide whether to put it in plaster or just strap it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 No doubt, we all like to think that Lambert would put preference to this club when compared to the others he ride for, and any decision he made about racing would be directed this way. When injuries require time off to recuperate we want him to forego his other commitments and rest ready for our next match. After all, the other clubs are not as important as ours. Probably it is us with our head in the sand and Robert see all the clubs as equal and rides the meetings that suits him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Riders have always missed meeting for a variety of reasons. Food Poisoning seems to be the in vogue one. I seem to recall the Great Ivan Mauger went a whole season without riding an away match, cant think which club it is was for now. He struck a deal that he would only to do home meetings, and the BSPA allowed it.. Now if you want to point the figure about riders missing meetings for whatever reason, and being allowed to get away it then look no further to who's door to lay the blame. The tail has wagged the dog for many years, and its getting worse.Mauger Exeter did home meetings only in 1984. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Mauger Exeter did home meetings only in 1984. Â Shhhh! Don't tell the BSPA or they will try to entice GP riders that way and cut a deal with Poland for it to happen as another "great sport saving idea". It would put thousands on the gate at PL clubs! A la Gerhard engines which by mid season seems to have been forgotten as "the way forward". No doubt, we all like to think that Lambert would put preference to this club when compared to the others he ride for, and any decision he made about racing would be directed this way.

Probably it is us with our head in the sand and Robert see all the clubs as equal and rides the meetings that suits him.... Â I wish it were that Robert would do that and put the Stars first but sadly the way of the world is that KL pays the same as most other clubs would for his services and it is not far from home. Plus he knows the track well enough to be able to do the business more often than not from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 We should be grateful Robert chooses to ride for Lynn, no doubt he could make more £££ elsewhere.  His entertaining riding is one of the few reasons many people like myself still go along on a Wednesday night.  Give the kid a break blimey!  No pun intended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I'm not Robert's biggest fan and I don't think he'll be one of the world's greats some big him up to be. I've said it many times, he's just a carbon copy of Chris Harris. One thing that can't be questioned though is his willingness, commitment and desire to race for King's Lynn. There's so many possible reasons why he didn't ride Monday but 'can't be bothered' isn't one of them.

Bald Bloke Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 He will ride where its most lucrative for him, this after all is his living I think he will, but up to now but being loyal to Lynn.With all his merchandise he sells on FB he is looking to get money in,no doubt. Think he may be on his way next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm sure we hear this every year, wouldn't be surprised if he moves on one day or drops Britain but speculation always seems to be incorrect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needofspeed Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Wouldn't surprise to not see Robert at lynn next year not through choice more through the club not existing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Who knows where any rider will be next season. Its a numbers game after all. However most of the numbers have £/€ sign in front of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 so yet another team (rye) strengthens up and still Lynn sit on their hands  would be somewhat annoying though if kennett was signed .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that we should have done something different to getting Jorgensen and Ayres in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 so yet another team (rye) strengthens up and still Lynn sit on their hands  would be somewhat annoying though if kennett was signed .... So we strengthened when we got Lambert for Bailey,then Jorgensen for Porsing.Then bringing in Ayres to share with Lambert we were bang on the 50pt limit.How much stronger can you get if you are at the limit thats it.

John Scrutton Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 We now have the choice of keeping Jorgensen or Porsing (when fit) and Lambert (when fit) its up to making the right choice when the time comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
