So why isn't Lambert riding in England? Because Poland are Top Dogs. :sad: :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

He wasn`t completely right however because no Premiership fixtures- play-off or not take preference over ANY polish match re-arranged or not.

Is that not the best solution or is he racing for Newcastle in the pairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauger65 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
