The way it's going I'd rather they just put masters and Pickering in and called it a select side. That way at least be competitive and entertaining I believe he has gone away for some time with his family, I'd argue there isn't anything more important than that.

Whilst I agree, speedway riders at that level have 6 months off, more than any the rest of us get. Can you see a smarzlik or janowski being allowed to withdraw from a Poland test match? Simply wouldn't be picked for SON or other matches. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fina Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Shame Dan is not fit, but that did seem to be a big ask so soon after his crash, but that he was even considering it looks promising for him being back to 100% by the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a let down To be fair, when you look at the original GB team, you could say Lambert is replacing Bewley; Connor is replacing Palin and Richie Worrall replacing Howarth; so not much difference from the original team. Obviously we all wanted to see Dan AND Lambert riding but hey ho, you can't fault Dan in this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am really getting old I think they still are, most of them anyway ..... Shame we couldn't have had the best of 3 of these meetings. Trouble is if no more fans support this than they have the Premiership Pairs!!!!! Edited July 9, 2022 by Trees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirao Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 So who is to blame for the very late advice of the withdrawals? Who is responsible for running this meeting? VRX the company that owns the Team GB franchise or Glasgow? The streaming company knew of the withdrawals at least three hours before the FB post mentioning it.

Maybe I am really getting old Yeah and gone are the days when things like the League Riders' Championships were prestigious and meant something. The doubling up has taken away the glory of the sport where riders now ride against team mates in different race jackets every other night. Cash is king these days. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the withdraws and replacements were announced 'too early' some pay at the gate fans may stay away perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier it's first time got old man excited enough about it to get out house and now telling him our reserve and a rider who struggles on our track are in place he's no going to be happy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTheAce Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Mullard rant. Probably undeserved but oh well. lleft home this morning and as I got to Chorley I had a phone call advising me of the line up changes. A quick turn around and back home I went. £44 lost (2 tickets) but saving me £100 in petrol. I knew Dan probably wouldn’t ride but with them having a rider on stand by I thought it’s worth the risk. but howarth with covid. I thought we do t have to isolate now. So no reason to not ride. Personally I think it’s an excuse but who knows. they announced tai but he’s apparently gone on holiday. Excuse me you have 6 months off for your holidays. Not mid season. just seems a pointless meeting now. That won’t help team GB at all as only lambert and Brennan are in the meeting. hope it’s a good one for the fans. But for this fan, over and out.
