Yeh i know, if they cant post constructive  they make it up. .. They'l be making up, excuses for how they got beat  tomorrow night ..;)

 There won't be no excuses  tomorrow night from me.. Your reserves will have a field day. Outscoring Lynn's by around 15 points or more. That's where your win will come from. Poole at home, confidence high, very good reserve pairing. I doubt there is anyone expecting a Lynn win. I would take a point, but I think it will be wider than that.

Of course he is proud to represent his country.But having to do things last minute is ridiculous.The people at fault here are the BSPA for organising a test match at such short notice.

Could you imagine any other sports bodies organising a friendly etc 3-weeks before it actually takes place and expecting all there players to take part. 

Can you imagine Southgate telling Kane you have to cancel your Maldives holiday we have an important friendly against Azerbaijan in 3 weeks.

It’s not the BSPA organising it though is it .........

Correct, the BSPA are totally irrelevant to the international fixtures. This fixture has come together from the new owners of Speedway Great Britain, VRX Motorsport (Rob Painter & Vicky Blackwell).

The owners and team manager have accepted Robert Lambert's request due to his racing schedule but have made it clear to ALL British rider's that this will be a one off. Unless injured or an exceptional reason, all rider's are to be available for international fixtures. If any rider's fail to accept an international selection a request to the FIM could be made to impose a worldwide suspension.

Well whoever it is that are organising it are the ones the people should be pointing the finger at.But then again it is only SS again.Probably just wants to get this thread past 20 pages so he feels that Poole are the most popular.

I agree that all British riders should be available,but on the agreeance that all international matches are known prior to the start of the season.Not slapped in your face a few weeks before they want you to ride.I think this is fair don't you?

The late notice makes it a bit of a glorified fixture filler really. Its a good idea though but ideally take team for a challenge meeting to 1 of the big polish tracks. that would be more worthwhile. or at the nss where a big international meeting is likely to take place. The late notice is a bit strange for a big meeting really

It wasn’t even 3 weeks it was 10 days as up until last Tuesday( Newcastle were visiting Glasgow on Friday 3rd ) then they got told it was being postponed due to the Test match the following night

I agree that fixtures should (and hopefully will be in 2019) pre planned but VRX only took over in April as the Speedway Great Britain franchise. So finding gaps in the British Speedway schedule is extremely difficult. Especially with most rider's doubling up between the Premiership and Championship. Getting this 1st test match off the ground will be to see if these matches grab the attention of the paying public, especially with the inclusion of the top rider's in the World.

Yes it is short notice but absolutely vital for all parties and more so, Speedway Great Britain.

Poole 46.5 are red hot favourites now for the title so no chance for KL.

It’s like the start of the season all over again. :)

 

Hopefully DC..

Kane would not have booked a holiday during the football season, big big difference don't you think ? When your country calls, you answer that call imo...
