E I Addio Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Well, there is a meeting on Sunday so Lakeside should have declared their team to their opponents by now. I suspect we would have heard if for some reason Hurry is not included. I doubt whether Lakeside would have made a public statement saying that David Mason is no longer with them if they weren't certain of having a replacement. EDIT there is an away meeting on Saturday as well so I guess Hurry must have been approved. Edited May 25, 2017 by E I Addio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I cannot see the scenario of it being announced on speedway GB website if it had not already been approved. I am probably wrong in this assumption but I have an idea that many of the comments linked to clubs that appear on the SGB website are 'edited' from Press Releases previously made by a club? In which case, the matter in regard to Lakeside Hammers and Paul Hurry MAY just be a reiteration of a previously publicised Lakeside Hammers PR. If that is the case, and SGB approval for Lakeside Hammers to use Paul Hurry has still to be ratified, and does not happen prior to this weekend's matches, in what way could the club now use coverage for his team place? Would a guest be permitted when there is a still available rider who if called on may decide to ride for the club. Hopefully, ratification for Lakeside to use Paul Hurry will be forthcoming soon. That exact scenario has happened for Craig Cook and Harland Cook in the last 2 seasons. So just because it's in the news section of the BSPA website doesn't mean it's been ratified. Well, there is a meeting on Sunday so Lakeside should have declared their team to their opponents by now. I suspect we would have heard if for some reason Hurry is not included. I doubt whether Lakeside would have made a public statement saying that David Mason is no longer with them if they weren't certain of having a replacement. EDIT there is an away meeting on Saturday as well so I guess Hurry must have been approved. This how the situation re Paul Hurry has been handled by Lakeside Hammers on their website, and then the SGB on their website. LAKESIDE HAMMERS - Hammers In A Hurry, May 23, 2017: http://www.lakesidehammers.co/hammers-in-a-hurry/ The SGB website, May 24, 2017: http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.32348 ::: The similarity in the quotes in both shown Links indicate that many items on the SGB website could well be just edited versions of club releases rather than a statement of fact on their part IMO. Other items on the SGB website where clubs are quoted also have a similarity to items previously posted on a club website. In other words, they do not indicate in many cases a statement of fact by the SGB - at least that's my view.

liam Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Surely the club wouldn't release the statement of his signing and sacking Mason if their was a chance this wouldn't be approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 You wud think lakeside wud know better and only announce when 100 percent certain. I know clubs r still waiting on the outcome, cant be long surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 One possible way to settle this is what was Paul's average listed as when he guested for Zach recently in a challenge fixture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 One possible way to settle this is what was Paul's average listed as when he guested for Zach recently in a challenge fixture? Guests use the average of the rider they're replacing. So the answer is 8.59 technically, but it was a challenge so they can do what they want.

Guest Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 What a strange sport speedway has become - when a club releases its third highest points scorer yet still has places for those of presumably less ability and lower points scoring potential.

East End Fan Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Including Paul Hurry so early in the season is a major coup for Jon Cook and Kelvin Tatum...still don't understand how they managed to get his average low enough to do it, but good luck to them. Can only see the Hammers at the top of the table now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less ability ,,lower points scoring potential ,urge ? ?.?? Are you joking Gustix I think you have misunderstood me waco! I was not referring to the fact that Paul Hurry's signing had displaced David Mason from the Lakeside Hammers' squad. Rather was it those whose names appear below Mason in the current green sheet averages. http://www.speedwaygb.co/lakeside17 Edited May 26, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the possible scenario that you visualise? Of course, we still have to see what will be related when the next batch for Press Releases - from the SGB and Lakeside Hammers - come to hand in regard to this weekend's matches.

Islander15 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Trust me, ull hear today, cant bring him in for mason. Should hear confirmation soon Does Mason want to be back though? He's riding for Swindon today now after Kelvin initially told him not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Does Mason want to be back though? He's riding for Swindon today now after Kelvin initially told him not to. When was David Mason told by Kelvin Tatum NOT to ride for Swindon Sprockets? There's nothing - so far as I can see - on Lakeside Hammers website to that effect. And, after his 'replacement' at Lakeside this week by Paul Hurry, for what OTHER reason should Mason not ride for Swindon Sprockets?

And, after his 'replacement' at lakeside this week by Paul Hurry, for what OTHER reason should Mason not ride for Swindon Sprockets? When Mason got dropped earlier this week Mason said that he'd agreed to Kelvin's proposal to not ride for Swindon this week, in order to stay fit for his Lakeside commitments.

If you want more clubs to go to the wall then by all means advocate teams signing whoever they want to fill their 1-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
