Gavan Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Nothing wrong with Lambert just doing the first meeting against Poole. Think if he does it evens things up as when Poole last rode at Kings Lynn they raced against a team whose top 2 pulled out thus gifting Poole the 4 points. Surely as Poole were handed 4 points in this manner, it's only fair that Kings Lynns top rider pulls out against Rye House, that way both teams have been given 4 points away at Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Much as I love to watch Robert Lambert race it would be better to have a guest for both meetings rather than no RL in the 2nd one. All very odd but it is GB speedway of course. Why not have Harris guesting in the Poole match and Andersen guesting in the 2nd match? Much more fun all round and if Robert is truly far from fit a better prospect for the last match of the season ( no need for a relegation battle as it will never happen ) ( that Up & Down movement ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 What about heats 1-7 plus 2 laps in the first one then heats 8-15 plus 2 laps in the second one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Lambert by choice riding in only the first meeting would be bonkers Given sppeedway this year I therefore fully expect it to happen 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedwaycrazy Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Lambert by choice riding in only the first meeting would be bonkers Given sppeedway this year I therefore fully expect it to happen 😛 This won't happen..but if it does Andersen or Kurtz can fill in...I assume their averages work. Just checked..both Andersen and Kurtz averages are slightly higher than Lambert but not by much. Are they able to use a riders average plus 5% these days?

What an absolute moronic anti Poole post. At least others can see he is nothing more than a troll. This won't happen.. but if it does Andersen or Kurtz can fill in...I assume their averages work. Just checked..both Andersen and Kurtz averages are slightly higher than Lambert but not by much. Are they able to use a riders average plus 5% these days? not at home.Considering truddling all the way up for this meeting. Bit of a way though. Just over 4 hours on a clear run. Then Kings Lynn to Somerset tomorrow is another 4 hours across country. Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GiveusaB Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 No wonder BT didnt know what match they would be screening next Monday??? Does anybody involved with speedway know anything these days ??? I'm still digesting the fact that a lower league team has priority over a higher league team's No.1 ??? (i.e Chris Harris/Peterborough) I think the confusion and the rules and regulations are more interesting than some of the racing these days !

Not Poole's fault some riders refused to ride last time but Lambert not riding against Rye is clearly wrong. If Kai Huckenbeck isn't fit to take his place they will need a guest to cover. What needs to be remembered is that Lambert not riding in the second meeting has only been reported in the Echo so they could be wrong, they have been wrong before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean he already has a sick note pre-empting an injury he would be due to pick up during the Poole meeting which has yet to take place, so this has to be nonsense, surely?

SteveLyric2 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Its well known that Lambert is carrying a knee injury which makes the knee swell up after too much pressure on it - thats why he didn't ride in the 2nd meeting last week and why his races tend to tail off towards the end of a meeting. Buster has stated he has riders in place!!! Barker is missing for Rye House due to a fixture for Redcar.

If this is the case he can rest it against us then ride against Rye! He didn't tail off last night! Leaving Kennett and Holder as a replacement...oh dear not good Actually Jack seemed to enjoy the track last time and rode it well.

False dawn Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Home team-red & blue. Away team-white & yellow. That's about as much as I know these days.. Unless, of course, people are still using yellow and black. And maybe the odd green might turn up but I think the ref might baulk at that. And then there's black and white. What's that all about asks your newby friends? And you thought you'd found a simple bit of the rules eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Lambert wants to do both meetings,who wouldn't double pay .But i suppose all will depend on how his knee reacts to the first meeting.Really should have a few weeks rest but with the season nearly finished i suppose he wants to earn before he can rest it for 6 months. As it maybe R/R for Huckenbeck tonight,why in the Championship can a team have a guest for their 2-5 but in the PL it has to be R/R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd planned to go to this meeting a long time ago seeing how I'm on holiday and only 30 mins from the track but after all trouble last week I had a rethink. When they changed it to another double header interest really started to waver for a trip to Kings Lynn and now reports ok they may be complete and utter hearsay regarding Lambert possibly going to miss the 2nd match there is no way my time and money will be spent going to the Kings Lynn tonight . Ok it may go all perfect and 30 heats done and dusted and everyone is happy but with last week's shenanigans still fresh I'll spend my time taking the kids crabbing at Wells next to sea harbour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
