Maybe they think that they will be far enough ahead meaning the 2nd leg is a mere formality. can’t believe I just wrote that. But it is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) This has appeared on Edinburgh General Discussions FB :- The Polish Fixtures for 2022 were published in the Speedway Star on APRIL 9 & the following are listed for Rawicz for June:- 4 - 5 Tarnow (a); 11 -12 Daugavpils (h); 18 -19 Poznan (a) Puzzled how the Promotion were not aware of the Polish fixtures well in advance of agreeing to go Ashfield on 4th June? Look forward to the Promotion advising the fans as to why they agreed to go there this Saturday. BTW both Masters & Pickering are contracted to Rawicz.

Any news if he'll be missing? Or would he get 28 day ban if didn't fulfill a UK fixture in preference for Poland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that as that wherever there is a non challenge fixture clash, which ever club had the fixture logged in their schedule earliest then they have priority for the rider/s service. In these circumstances, there should be no ban on riders obliged to ride in Poland, and the UK club will be entitled to the normal guest or r/r facilities for absent riders. If I'm correct, Edinburgh ,assuming they're already using r/r for Fredriksen, can use guests for Masters up to 9.41 & Pickering up to 7.53. Glasgow can either use a guest for Brennan up to 6.76 or r/r using all home riders, except Cook. is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 So Edinburgh will have r/r for Lasse and guests for Sam, Josh and James. Glasgow either r/r or guest for Brennan. Do the promotions honestly believe this is worth staging? Edinburgh in particular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the problem could be that it is a GB KOC match, not a league fixture. polish league then has first dibs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets moved again will other countries fixtures take precedence so could still end up with guests? Does anyone know if there is a deadline to complete KO Cup matches - there was talk of that after the farce caused by delays last year and previous years for that matter.

Perfectly normal and acceptable I would imagine in their eyes.. The same outlook as every promote I would imagine as they seem to all do it.. Not sure every fan shares the same view though... But that isnt important is it? Just like the tournaments they run due to using the operating model they do... One day they may get it... (What am I saying, of course they wont).. Personally can't believe Bomber wont be there given so many guests are needed.. What a disgrace that they arranged it for a night he cannot be there so he misses out...

Mr Blobby Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Statement released saying the polish fixture was scheduled for the Sunday hence why the match was made for Saturday. The poles have now decided to run the Saturday and have priority as it isn’t a league fixture. They’ve also refused to comment or give us a reason for doing so. Polish speedway doing as they please again it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is always how Polish fixtures work. And Edinburgh know that. Edited May 31, 2022 by stewmac Change 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you and I have discussed this elsewhere, on FB. It is never definitely one day or the other until the official announcement. Even the riders know that.
