stevec Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've just been told that this Saturdays meeting has been called off due to lack of medical cover, is this true? Neither club website nor the BSPA website have made any mention of it. Correct, it was announced Saturday. I an sure I saw it on website as well? It is great to see that the British u21 team in 3 years could see Lambert Bewley Brennan Jenkins Bickley The only thing I fear for Jenkins and brennan is their location. With the championship being basically a northern league + ipswich they won't have the opportunists to ride as Bickley does who seems to get to ride everywhere? Maybe Ipswich reserve pairing of brennan and Jenkins. Just maybe they will be setting the world alight in the Speedway World Cup in a few years!

Mimmo Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks Stevec Yes, I've just looked at the fixture list on the Eastbourne website and it says OFF. Unfortunately I tend to look at my own clubs website(King's Lynn), and as I type this, it doesn't mention that the meeting is off, in fact the fixtures list still shows it as being on. I'm finally through with travelling to anymore away meetings, it's just to much money down the drain, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finally through with travelling to anymore away meetings, it's just to much money down the drain, I said the same last year and didn't travel as much. as the year before. I will be travelling a bit more this year but will make last minute decisions based on weather being a dead cert and two decent looking line ups being announced. Must admit, I do like trips to KL as the tracks are so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit, I do like trips to KL as the tracks are so different. £177 the hotel has cost me, so I'll still have to go. Add to that the cost of fuel etc., absolute shambles. I've been told it's through lack of medical cover, which I find hard to believe, as the fixture has always been on the list for that date, to the best of my knowledge. VERY UNHAPPY...and BROKE!!

cityrebel Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 It was announced during the interval on Saturday. The lack of medical cover has a touch of the Lynn v eagles high winds postponement from a couple of weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Back to kings lynn would make sense also? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman27 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yeah they did give him his first chance and is local track so would make sense if he did sign for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just a bit wierd he can't say who if the deal is done as it's kings Lynn as they dont need to change the team about do they? Which makes me think it's not them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I suppose may not be a NL league side? Is a championship side in desperate need of a 2 pointer? Edited May 17, 2017 by gazzac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me think it's not them The same could be said about the IOW so maybe he cannot be announced until somebody has been told they have been dropped. Hope for the eagles yet ??

TurnTwo Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 My thoughts: Knight and Dugard to IOW; Greaves and Mullins out of IOW why he can't announce as he's waiting for Govier avg to drop to 3 Coles to kings lynn with Shane hazelden Perks to Eastbourne with an older rider coming in on a 3.5 avg Greaves to Buxton to replace perks?

Govier's injured so his average won't drop as he's not getting the meetings in to get a new average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Connor sort of intimated last week he was going with the current team, so although I'd love to see him back, deep down think he's off somewhere else.

Mind you, I say that more because I would love to see Jake 'in' the team. Not because I particularly want to see anyone 'out' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because I particularly want to see anyone 'out' I agree and to honest it's a bit of a distraction, and if we do go with the team I'm sure the fans will properly get behind Coles and Dugard as they're the 2 struggling at the moment.

Sings4Speedway Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Personally id like to see Knight at Kings Lynn & Greaves join him once he is officially released by IOW as they desperately need strengthening. Id obviously like to see IOW recruit a suitable replacement also & likewise Buxton with the Perks situation. Im sure both the Warriors & Buxton would love to be in the situation of having 7 riders & just worrying about a slight loss of form of a couple of them.
