racers and royals Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Peter Adams has just stated on the radio after the King's Lynn meeting that Robert Lambert is guesting for Freddie in this one. He is riding Polish Extraleague for Rybnik- hence Wolves signing the form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Surely unless this meeting is rearranged then they get no facility? Edited May 1, 2017 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 For god sake. Another match where a no.1 will be missing. That's Lindgren, Holder and Kasprzak now... although some might argue that Kasprzak and Holder have been missing all season However this match has been in the calendar since the start of the season so why the hell there is a facility, is anybodies guess. What a joke. He is riding Polish Extraleague for Rybnik- hence Wolves signing the form Not sure what signing the form has to do with anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke. Not sure what signing the form has to do with anything? The form means that every rider who rides Extraleague and Premiership ie Fricke, Holder, Kasprzak, Lindgren and Doyle will be in Poland in the event of a clash ( if selected by their Polish team) and I should imagine that a facility will be granted for every occasion.

I understand what that the form dictates it takes priority - but why the hell is there a facility? If these teams want to sign those riders then they should be prepared to have to be without them if they can't organise their fixture list accordingly.

Is this for the Poland v Australia test match on the 7th of May, or the normal league fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttons Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Absolutely wonderful, its the fans who miss out yet again,No Kasprazak, no Holder and now no Freddie and they wonder why clubs are struggling for crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Powers-that- be just cannot win !! punters moaning today and refusing to attend because Bjerre, Hougaard Gomolski were missing with no facility, and then Wolves on Friday having to replace Lindgren with a no hoper !!! Is this for the Poland v Australia test match on the 7th of May, or the normal league fixtures The test match is on the 3rd and Somerset v Wolves is on the 5th when Rybnik are riding at home to Grudziadz.

I would assume that Wolves will be not only without Lindgren but no Masters and no Riss either. Edited May 1, 2017 by Najjer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Lambert is guesting for Masters isn't he? I wasn't aware that Freddie was missing. Riss is missing too. Not sure what the point in even bothering is when pretty much half our team is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I refer to my previous post that what pi$$ poor planning this is. I know Riss has only recently signed but knowing that Lindgren and Masters were going to be missing is taking the biscuit. I'm going to assume Kurtz will be guesting also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Thought the priority for Ekstraliga matches was only in respect of rearranged fixtures? If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected EDIT:Before anyone else does it, I'll correct myself. I've just re-read the original article, which I clearly misinterpreted Edited May 1, 2017 by womble53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguest Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I assume the only way it was agreed to Freddie riding in the British league was to conceed to these clashes. Does anyone know of any others? Shame as he would probably do well. As for no Masters or Riss, I guess that is not considered as we are permitted guests. Not what you want but modern day speedway run on a shoestring budget. 50-43 is my prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 It would appear that all the riders that have missed Oaktree fixtures (& the one's due to miss) are the very same riders that the fans will come to see. How much is this costing the Somerset Promotion? This season it's been great racing for the fans that turn-up BUT its the big names that will drag in the extra fans! How can this major problem be sorted? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best get used to it as the system isn't working so UK Speedway will go it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
