Triple.H. Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I can see SCB being a bit miffed with the postponement of Adam Roynon's testimonial Though if it's still at Workington next season I reckon appearances by Cookie. Maybe a matchrace between Steady and Stoney. That should pack the locals in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Dan Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Anyone know if 4 legged friends are welcome at the Workington Stadium? Â Unfortunately not, landlords rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 So parade will be about 3:40 and tapes up at 4 due to queues at the turnstiles. You can probably guess I've been to a lot of speedway events where this is The norm  One thing the facennas have done is ensure meetings start at the advertised time. They are likely to have the gates open 2 hours before the start. For tigers league meetings they bring on the opposition team one rider at a time c10 mins before the scheduled start and then the tigers individually then the whole team does a lap together. They manage to do this every week with meetings starting either bang on time or no more than a minute or two after. For at least one meeting we just had the tigers riders parade presumably cos the opposition weren't ready! Hopefully the Facennas and their staff will be in charge of proceedings and we don't get BSPA people interfering and deciding what will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Jack Holder does not deserve to be in this meeting. 100% agree. However, he has qualified by his average, so it would require some sort of move by the BSPA or SCB to stop him riding. Might be that the impending (or so we believe) disciplinary meeting regarding the promoter will impact on Holder, but it seems that the promoter is going to be the one to carry the can for this episode. Personally, I feel a 28 day ban should have been imposed regardless of his promoters consent, though I believe that the doubling up situation may have a part to play in preventing this. Wouldn't be surprised to see a tightening up of the rules in future to prevent a repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some excuse hidden away in the archives why he is allowed to miss the meeting. Or maybe just planning another injury that weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 There will be some excuse hidden away in the archives why he is allowed to miss the meeting. Or maybe just planning another injury that weekend! I don't think he's 'planned' Any of he previous injuries... Considering how many knocks he was carrying, I'm not surprised when he missed the Fours... He'd fallen so many times in the weeks leading up, and riding pretty much every night in lots of different countries, he was probably beyond knackered and that's dangerous in speedway... He had a broken wrist and still represented team GB in the World Cup... I am just confused as to why he's not in this meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just confused as to why he's not in this meeting It was the top rider from each team , and the next 6 riders in the averages , with no team having more than two riders . So maybe he wasn't in the six next best . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 So why isn't Robert Lambert in the line up? Sorry if it's an obvious answer, but I really don't know???? I was just thinking that, I thought he was top of the Diamonds averages and more to the point his average is higher than Ricky Wells so he should be in ahead of him surely!!! :o 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that, I believe the Polish play off finals are on the 24/9, am I correct and is Robert involved in those? Seems a shame he is not riding in it, but at lease we have Steve from a Diamonds point of view who should stand a good chance. Â Cracking field on a good racers track. Should be a good one.

maneacat Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Jack Holder does not deserve to be in this meeting. I am more interested to know why Robert Lambert (who must have qualified) is not listed for this BSPA event and who has given him permission to miss it (injury/surgery excepted of course). With regards to Holder let's wait and see on the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champs99 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 It just seems a bit odd that no one in the know seems fit to inform the paying public why Lambert is not involved in the meeting!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneacat Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Post 36 fits in with what I was told, we will have to wait and see.Sounds about right doesn't it? I don't see what the difference is between this situation and Holder and the Fours - as long as both riders and both promoters are treated the same then fair enough! It just seems a bit odd that no one in the know seems fit to inform the paying public why Lambert is not involved in the meeting!!Ruddy typical of this sport - sadly suggests that someone is trying to hide something!
