1st October 2017 Newcastle Diamonds V Workington Comets Championship


Recommended Posts

Our meeting is a re-arranged fixture, but the Polish meeting is a promotion/relegation affair so can no way be classed as a regular or scheduled fixture. So why isn't Lambert riding in England?

Because Poland are Top Dogs. :sad: :sad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Unfortunately it is in the polish fixture list from day 1 that the promotion/relegation play-offs will be on these dates. it's just the teams involved that are undecided.

 

Similarly the Premiership playoffs would take priority over any rearranged polish fixture as they were in the fixture list (for the telly) originally.

Why not say he is withholding his services so he gets a 28 day ban and you can then have a guest.

Is that not the best solution or is he racing for Newcastle in the pairs?

Probably need him more in the KO cup against Glagow more if we have any chance of progressing at all.

Only if you want to win.

 

 

Do we want to win ?

 

 

Well if we do not want to win,what is the point in turning up to watch riders going through the motions.

 

I believe it is stupid to suggest that we don't want to win. It's a chance of silverware, in what has been, largely, a disappointing season.

I dont have a problem with Robert riding in Poland but having to use a guest who isnt even at national league standard and riding at no,1 is a joke - no wonder the sport is dying with ridiculous rules like that made by the BSPA, I wont be there to pay and watch cook v embleton, and i bet theres lots mojre thinking the same!

Understand ( I think) the whys and wherefores, but what is also equally annoying is that there is no team announcement (now 1.20pm).

 

Do not intend to race back from SJP for this non event if promotion can't be bothered to announce the team or give advance notice of whether Robert will or will not be riding

It's on the website (and has been since about 11.25am) that Josh Embleton is at number one for the Diamonds

this utter farce of a season cannot come to an end soon enough

no wonder speedway is dying in this country as the bspa stupid illogical rule book defies belief

 

speedway is in the entertainment business.... and if the promotors of this country think embleton v cook is entertaining then it is says it all

 

the leagues, the replacement rider rules and team building all need looking at in the winter

 

I for one am fed up of seeing only 9 teams - with guests and nl reserves standing in

 

I will be there tonight but I understand why many wont

 

whether I am there next year I don't know and I have been going since 1975

 

I'm not blaming George and Alan - I'm holding all speedway promoters to account .............. the garbage of the league drummed up this year is unacceptable and at this rate the country will be down to 8 teams within 5 years as club after club will fold

This isn't a BSPA rule (concerning Robert):
