This is a huge blow to Lynn following on from the news of the injury to Jack Thomas.The play-offs at present look a million miles off.Thank you Poland. I just had a look... From Dale, “It’s a tough one for us at the moment, but we do believe and understand that this rule will be changed for next year." Next year . Time to get ruthless..

I would bet a couple quid you may be correct... I remember thinking that "they may be pushing it a bit" when him and Woffy were sharing...

LagutaRacingFan Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I don't think Lynn should get a facility, they signed Iversen knowing he could miss matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the profile polish speedway has and the money involved then I don't blame them. It's not Poland's fault that UK speedway has been mismanaged for decades.

Najjer Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 When Iversen was announced as staying at Kings Lynn for the season, it was said then that Iversen/Kings Lynn had either broke the league restrictions rules or been given some form of permission to do so. Iversen would of known the rules imposed by Poland when he signed up to ride in the league so it’s not really a big surprise or at least, it shouldn’t be. It’s also not surprising that the Polish Fed and/or Lodz want to limit the amount of riding and travelling Iversen is doing. Lodz are trying to get into the play offs and will want Iversen to be as fit as possible. It is worth remembering albeit unlikely, that Iversen could of dropped Sweden or Denmark to ride in the UK still - so that shows you how far down the UK is on his pecking order. Hopefully Kildemand is wanting to ride here as he is just returning from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on anything pre 89 because I didn't attend. However 89 though to the mid 90s every team in the British & National leagues had a junior team. My club Ipswich had in effect a squad or 12 riders. These competitions gave track time to young riders but also those who couldn't commit to full seasons. Slowly they were scrapped & the promotors looked to overseas imports rather than development of British riders. Then as you move through the recent history of UK speedway we get to doubling up to try and combat rider shortage which has only led to more of a shortage. I wish I knew the answer but the state of UK speedway is depressing and the let's keep doing the same thing over & over again even more so. The poles have a business model which at the moment works & I suspect they will adapt moving forward, something the BSPA seem unable to do.

If it is only to the end of July we would manage with guests and RR, at a push, but not ideal. If it's for the rest of the season we're in the brown stuff, unless we can magic a decent rider out of thin air. I wish Jack a speedy, and in the mean time we have a replacement coming in.

screm Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Personally I can`t see how it can be right, possibly even legal, that a Polish Federation can recall a Danish rider and stop him racing in a UK league. Surely the rider has a say, maybe Poland is where NKI wants to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Not surprised to hear the NKI news. Lodz owner threw a temper tantrum recently over his club losing at Home to Landshut. Who's on the PZM board? because it sounds like Lukashenko & Putin considering how they tell people what they can and cant do in life. #DICTATORSHIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
