Crap crap and more crap You don't know for sure anything you are all on about Troy . Remember only a few weeks ago Robert Lambert thought he had a broken wrist Thankfully it wasn't he was riding just a day later .

[semion]

History teaches us much.

August 1st... Chris Holder to get the sack? There is no way I'd have him in my team after the past week.

Unfortunately, Lambert as Captain has to take on board opinions and views of his fellow riders, Lambert as a rider, had rode in 2 races and showed he was capable of getting results.. Because of his age and inexperience he was ram-roaded into objecting to ride on the back of the input from the 2 Aussies... Lambert was in a no-win situation. For that I I feel for him. His and Huckenbeck exclusion was totally the result of chaos in the pits., where leadership was non-existent.

But no amount of goading should have tempted him into the spectators pen to confront an objector. He has to be more distant than that. Prior to this, there was some No-body at the pit gate giving his to'penneth about all the hanging about we had to endure, and again Lambert had to be restrained from going into the lions den. He needs to grow up and understand peoples frustration when things go wrong.

 

 

Our season ended on Thursday night......... It now appears the promotions at Kings Lynn are clueless and gutless at making the right decisions. It was always my belief the Club was more important than the Rider,, Not any more.......By not making example of these riders, is like saying: F--k the supporters, the riders can do as they like. They should both have been issued with 28 day suspension for withholding their services. Probably then, they might considered the consequences of their behaviour, but while the promoters keep wiping their arses, nothing will ever change...

 

What will happen the next time the track is not to their liking. ???????

 

Foot note:- I feel sorry for Lewis Rose, He's one of the good guys, who has attained another nasty injury. He has such terrible luck... Hope your recuperation goes well .

I was sanding right by the fat bloke that shouted at Robert......The fat bloke wanted his money back, so Robert offered to go and get some money to give it to him, There was no attempt of Robert going after him what so ever. Robert stood there then walked off in the opposite direction.....get your facts right.

 

Will Lambert be disciplined for his 'Eric Cantona' style attack on a spectator on Thursday ?

Why should he, he didn't do anything wrong apart from facing up to the foul mouthed idiot that was swearing at him to which shut up straight away when questioned.....Again NO PUNCHES attempted.

 

What a surprise your defending them for me Lambert Holder Batchelor all deserve a 28 day ban and big fine as for Huckenbeck I feel he was swayed by his mate back to the defence Poole riders got there head down and got on with the job and fully deserved there win so tell me how can you defend the Lynn riders who refused to come out

Why should Lambert get a ban, track was dangerous, stood his ground and wanted ref to come down and inspect track, when he did, Buster then spent over half an hour doing it, Lambert then continued to race end of....

 

So lambert and hukenburk get away Scott free, they also refused too come out in one race

after they refused ref came down inspected the track to which buster then had to do track, they then both continued to ride

 

Something I would love to know is where Rob Lyon has been during all of this. He is officially a promoter alongside Buster.

 

So was he even at this meeting or is he just a promoter to appease the BSPA rules?

yes he was there, and I guess he thought the same issues were repeating themselves from a similar incident involving Rory last year, the abuse poor Rob got from Buster was inexcusable, swearing at Rob in the pits infront of all the supporters was bang out of order, also to Rory aswell, maybe he didn't want to get involved again, don't blame him either....

Nice at last to read a informative post that answers a lot of questions, you obviously witnessed first hand. Thank you for posting the facts

[mrss]

It's a pity somebody didn't punch the fat prat at the pit gate. He is always shouting his mouth off and upsetting people. He sits in the disabled stand with his father. He is nothing but a fat prat.

Not keen on freedom of speech then

[mrss]

All for freedom of speech. But fatso is rude and offensive and shouts his mouth off all the time.

[tellboy]

You know ashtree123 some people like to make their story overdramatic.Like some of the posts you have quoted.Why people do it i don't know,it happens though.Nice to hear your view on it,obviously pretty close to what goes on to.

I think maybe the ref could have came down earlier about the track to,as apparently it wasn't just 1 or 2 complaining about it.

I am aware you are Robert's right hand man, but it is you who needs to get their facts right. The incident I was referring to was a smallish man about 40.ish Telling Lambert to get on with it . I wasn't interested in the personal verbals that followed, but it was Robert who was blocked at the pit gate when he wanted to confront this 'No-body'. Two stewards stationed on the pit gate will vouch this..,

 

My opinion, was that Robert should be more professional in his attitude, in not letting these comments get to him... If he takes on board every comment and insult thrown at him he'll finish up in a nut house..... I appreciate he is young and at an impressionable age, but this situation should have been addressed by now.

[Pinny]

Seems Lambert is going the same way as bridger and getting too big for his boots, yet look where bridger is now. Mid 20s and scraping a 6 point pl average.

 

Hes nowhere near as good as him or his silly little clique think he is.

[Col]

If KL can dump every rider except Huckenbeck & Lambert, bring in Lebedevs & Milik do it. Win 46-44 at home, lose 75-15 away in appalling fashion. Get all riders low averages, bring on next year. I hate British Speedway, it is corrupt to the core. Holder has achieved his goal of having a low average to return to Poole next year and quite frankly Batchelor is even more disgraceful. Pulling out of his home match for the team he has signed for, a team that first gave him a chance in this country (if I remember correctly) then guesting for Swindon away twice in a week. The first time a day after his wrist was "injured".

and in guesting for Swindon ride your socks off and effectively knock your own club out of the play off position- how does that work ? Only in speedway

The same lack of though from the management made Robert the Stars Captain. A wonderful speedway rider but not yet mature enough to do much in a positive way as Captain. Much too soon unless it was just for coin tossing. Robert needs to concentrate on his next career step as a rider because his World Cup performance showed that the GP is a distant dream as yet.

You can't blame Batch for that - it just shows how idiotic the guest system is. As you say - only in speedway!

King's Lynn Twitter,

 

Chapman: "I've written one final column about it which supporters will be able to read on Wednesday and then that’s it, it’s gone."

 

Does he live in the real world? Clearly he is not interested in what fans may wish to say about it having read his column, you've had his thoughts and that's it.

 

It is this attitude from those in charge which epitomises much of what is wrong with our sport. Would any business survive with that sort of attitude towards its customers?
