No surprise about Klindt. Heard a whisper the change was in the offing but surprised about Stewart. 

I think most people saw the Klindt situation being odds on this would happen

Visa delays it seems with Stewart. Processes have to be followed and the next can't begin until the previous is complete

Just goes to show that whilst everything changes nothing really changes :rolleyes:

Well that’s decided it for me, R/R a guest and a showery forecast means the chances of getting VFM for my twenty quid are a lot smaller. 

Cynical me also wonders why this was announced the day after tickets went on sale......

I'd say realist rather than cynic (unfortunately) same old bs straight from the start

Luckily cash on the night is still an option at Foxhall and I will be taking that option and evaluating developments before parting with my hard earned each time

With a 2000 initial capacity I don't see myself missing out as a result!

I’d get used to it if I were you. This sort of thing has been a major bugbear for all of us over the years, but for the time being at least, we’re gonna have to cut them some slack and just go with it. 
 

 

Don’t worry about me I’ll be on (last years this year)  holibobs. I’ve long given up on speedway as a sport or a way to spend money. I’m only on this thread as a respite from the Covid thread:rolleyes:

From what I have heard their is some slack being given this year as travelling in and out of the country will undoubtedly cause problems for most teams at some points.

I just hope that this slack is applied fairly to everyone and no one is allowed to take advantage.

Why should there be any slack.... the same for everyone. If a rider is missing then tough.  NL guest.  That goes for Monday's meeting.  Should be 2 NL guests for Ipswich as neither of the missing riders have ridden for the club.

VFM could be better now.Klindt the gater can now be replaced with Crump,King,Heeps and Allen.You would get more VFM watching Allen in one race than you would watching Klindt in 4.Can't comment on Stewart as i have never seen him race.

That is cynical Bagpuss,they normally announce these things on the parade:D

Oh didn't realise that,ok i will swap Allen for Heeps and say you would get more VFM watching  Heeps in 1 race than you would Klindt in 4:unsure::rolleyes::D

If i thought properly about it Ipswich wouldn't be allowed to get away with Allen replacing Klindt and also using R/R for him would they:blink:

Looks like we are - plus a guest for Stewart who has not yet received the required visa clearance too

Agree with you Beerhut and Baldy that it shouldn't be the case. 2 x NL guests should be the ruling even when it hurts my team

I've changed my mind on British Speedway trying marketing itself. Not a wheel turned & it continues to embarrass itself. 

The best thing that could have been done this season is not employ any rider's committed to international racing. 

A few rider injuries & it's going to be super embarrassing

Nothing changes it seems in British Speedway.......... same old same old ......... the only thing that changes is the cost of admission and programme. 

Remarkable that the "premiership"  still lumbers on with the appallingly low standard of racers now being paraded ....... guess it just allows the promoters to charge higher admission fees compared to the championship. 

No idea why  it now costs more to stage 15 heats in the premiership than the championship ........
