2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Lawson hasn't been great recently at Foxhall but he's been there all season in the league and for him to miss the playoffs is a bit stupid (but hey those the speedway rules) Replacement has to come from a team not in the play offs, so Belle Vue, Kings Lynn or Peterborough and under his 6.90 ave. Bjerre, Fricke, Lambert and Cook too high. Nicholls, Wright, Proctor, Kerr, Riss, Palm Toft all riding elsewhere. So that leaves.... Bewley, S Worrall, Tungate, Andersen. Unless Ipswich use a CL only rider like Barker or Auty. Edited September 23, 2019 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Lawson will ride for Ipswich on Saturday. Confirmed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofers Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Regarding the situation with Lawson, the sensible thing to do would be to move the Eastbourne v Birmingham meeting to the following Saturday. This is the last meeting of the year for Eastbourne and it’s traditional that the riders that have served and performed over the year are present. Last years finale against Mildenhall was cancelled altogether and we are still awaiting the outcome of the SCBs ‘full investigation’. We don’t need another disappointment this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Lawson to ride he has been with us all season But where does the words common sense appear in the rule book? If the rules state that Lawson has to ride for Eastbourne then so be it..................you cant change a rule just to apply common sense.........oh wait last years play off final the rules were changed to allow Morris to ride I think the rule book should be scrapped and then we can just get Poole speedway and its fans to just decide what 'common sense' is at the business end of the season. If Eastbourne and Ipswich have come to an agreement then so be it........irony if Lawson becomes a match winner Edited September 23, 2019 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkins May be a bit of a dufus with some of his (non)decisions during meetings, but this sort of stuff he definitely knows. im sure more will come in the coming hours/days from more places.

marko Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 When BT fixed the dates I assume they didn't bother to tell the weather, speedway will never learn, late September onwards, its mostly a wash out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
