False dawn Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Nevermind the GP, I'm going to Eastbourne . If they are rerunning the GP tomorrow, where is Scott going to be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 But hang on. If the GP is rerunning, does that mean the Polish meetings are cancelled/postponed? That would mean Hans can be in East Sussex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 This team line ups for this fixture are beginning to resemble a pantomime. Only in speedway. (Well at least in Cricket they changed the entire team in advance of the match !) Scott Nicholls ? Is he riding for BT sport or Leicester tomorrow? Nathan Ablitt .... one of "Eastbourne's own" is he riding for his club ? Sings4Speedway suggests he isn't ?? Drew Kemp - is he still riding in Poland tomorrow ? or is the Gdansk meeting cancelled due to the GP reschedule? As for Jake Knight .... you couldn't make it up ..... Never have I seen such a set of complicated rules to prevent an English junior reserve rider being denied a ride. Surely in the "interests of speedway" he should be allowed to ride for someone tomorrow ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he got half way there of course, when the meeting would be formally postponed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think having to appear on the telly is a valid reason not to ride. Don’t think he wants a ban plus to lose a shed load of dosh. Mind you, this is speedway, so who really knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he cant make it to Eastbourne then Leicester will find another guest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) You'll probably not find out who the replacement is until the parade... my guess would be a Lion Cub or Jake Knight Edited July 18, 2021 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans have shelled out £25 for today's double header. They should be entitled to a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
