Aceslider Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Absolutely priceless :t: Diamonds too honourable for this - but hang on this is speedway - so morals don't really come into it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Absolute madness!! I still fancy Diamonds to win, but this has deprived the supporters (hello remember us we pay the bills!) of a rider who would have top races with Bears big boys and given us someone who will probably tootle around! Absolute madness!! (just felt I had to say it twice) Who are 'us'? :unsure: I don't think British Speedway are too bothered about 'US'. :sad: Edited September 1, 2017 by The White Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'll pass that on to George. Spoke to George and he says NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEITH M Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Spoke to George and he says NO. My original post was tongue in cheek and after what Edinburgh done to us in heat 15 a few weeks ago I actually hope Redcar get 4 points if it means keeping Edinburgh out the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Can't we take Robert out of the team and temporarily replace him with Matej? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it should be allowed and then circumnavigating the International rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute madness!! (just felt I had to say it twice) Why is it madness? Newcastle have an obligation to put out their strongest side which they can't. From what I've heard Lambert could make it back for the meeting but has decided to ride in Poland on Sunday so why should they get a facility if its true? I've also heard that Perks who is riding in the same GB meeting as Lambert intends to ride on Sunday. Agree with others though that the sport is in a mess at present!

But surely the Polish meeting is on Sunday, so how can he get back to Newcastle ? It's a playoff meeting so how come Perks gets a mention.

It's a playoff meeting so how come Perks gets a mention. Initially Perks couldn't make it back but is now going to try.. Respect! Lambert has put his Polish Team ahead of his British team so why should should the Diamonds get a facility? He could ride for Newcastle is he really wanted to. Having a rider in your team who rides in Poland runs a risk of a fixture class which is Newcastles problem as they chose to sign Lambert and have stuck with him. Seems the BSPA think the same. Hasn't Ged Rathbone had his licence suspended in a similar senario by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an international ruling that Robert has to be in Poland. Lambert could not ride for Newcastle. The last para has nowt in comparison.

Bellers101 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Read post #1957. Rubbish! Lambert will already be in Poland plus they will pay far more money than Newcastle so I can see why he would prefer to ride for his Polish club. However, this should not give Newcastle the right to a guest. They have the rider in their team knowing this could happen! Again I point out that the BSPA don't agree with your blinkered opinion as YOUR team haven't got a guest facility!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which bit of "he has to ride for his Polish team" do you not understand it's not negotiable he either rides or probably gets a ban in Poland.

He has to ride in Poland because the Poles said he has to, nothing more! Therefore why aren't the BSPA banning him for not fulfilling his GB fixture? Lambert has made the decision to forsake GB for Poland himself hence the Diamonds don't get a guest. Do you understand? Put simply. No guest for Newcastle but if Perks can't make it back the Bears have Aarnio booked as a guest apparently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondlil Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Robert is in Poland as he is riding for GB in the world team cup under 21 final today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Robert is in Poland as he is riding for GB in the world team cup under 21 final today.Yes we know that. The issue is he has chosen to ride again in Poland the day after that meeting thus missing Newcastle v Redcar. Ellis Perks, the Redcar rider is in the same meeting as Robert today but will be attempting to get back to the UK for the Newcastle v Redcar meeting. Hence why quite rightly Newcastle don't have a guest facility whereas Redcar do if needs be, its not rocket science!!!!
