Trees Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have a theory that Poole have dumped that oil on the track accidentally on purpose, isn’t that what they do on Aussie tracks? Someone posted a pic on twitter the other day of the same thing in Aus when Batch kicked off about the Swindon track ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axeman Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 "So anyway we need to spend so much money on bikes and new rules with having oil catchers and they go put a can of oil on the track. What a disgrace to British speedway." Where in the above statement is Robert saying that the oil was on the track during the meeting?

Mediman Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 The track was excellent and the comments frankly are disgraceful. There was no issues at all and to think that if oil was on the track during the meeting the riders of both teams would not have had the ref and officials take a look. Why would we put oil on when we were so far ahead. Kings Lynn just not at the races tonight simple as that . We’ve all had meetings like that when it doesn’t happen and for them tonight it didn’t happen. But to make comments like that is totally out of order and does nothing to enhance a sport that is struggling as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he deserves an apology from the Poole fans. He's right, it's a disgrace and illegal to contaminate any grounds with oil. His comments are clearly not about the racing on the track but rider's having to use oil catchers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Robert didn’t say the oil was on the track during the meeting, only that it is a disgrace that it’s been leaked on the track when the riders have to provide oil catchers on their bikes. It now turns out it was deliberately spilled on the track for preparation but should it be????? SCB to investigate I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil catcher bit sort of loses credibility when you say "What a disgrace to British Speedway. Thanks Poole Speedway" when it was clearly an accident.

Bald Bloke Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Lets hope the riders are ok, first and foremost.. Hope Ty and Bomber are ok. Lynn are having some bad luck at the business end of the season, again. Hope Ty is just a bit battered and bruised at worst, with nothing serious. Bomber is made of steel, it seems. Good win again by Poole. Lynn, what can you say. I expected a Poole win with their reserves scoring big, and they did. But with TJ up and down, MPT not going to good and Ty's fall, we had no engine room and not much at reserve either. And a poor scoring Number 5 .

Very accurate Indeed.People like SS should read the message slowly and the penny may drop.Lambert bringing the sport into disrepute who's the childish ones now who can't seem to read a post clearly.

It's illegal and Lambert's right to criticise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
