Bagpuss Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Not for me, personally I'd always rather watch an NSS meeting rather than a Monmore one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 They really need to sort out how they apply the rules! BV (and other teams) have suffered by the playoff rules in the past which have prevented them signing a new rider - so I don’t understand why it’s allowed now! Some you win and some you lose but it doesn’t make it right. Hard to bet against BV to finally lift the trophy for the first time in a very long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I personally think the Lambert signing is against the rules, but the rules are written so poorly, can't blame Belle Vue for taking advantage of them. To me the rules are saying "all signings must be between 25% & 75% of fixtures, you're allowed 2 transfers plus injury transfers". However the rules aren't clear enough, so it could be assumed the injury rule is allowed after the transfer window. It's also not clear if the 25-75% window is for each clubs matches or the league as a whole. Clubs also made transfers after the league cup matches & before the league started, which is also out with the "transfer window"! As most fans dislike guests, I do feel any rule which stops transfers & means more guests needing to be used is daft!

Belle Vue should not have been allowed to sign Lambert, that is against the rules irrespective of interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff100 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Wonder if lambert went crying on facebook after poles told him and others they could only ride in one other league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Forget all the different twists on the rules. The bottom line is Fricke rode all season to get Belle vue into the play offs. From his last home and away meetings with Ipswich, Sheffield and Wolves Fricke has scored 67 points.For a club to loose that fire power in the play offs down to injury in my eyes is wrong now and for any club in the future.. A like for like change in my eyes is the fair way to go Lambert will have to go some to match those scores. The change does not make Belle vue any weaker or stronger if they win it they will have deserved it if another team wins it they will have won it because they are the best and not because they beat a weakened team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing they need to do though before much longer is change the averages of riders who were here years ago and now ride on the continent. For a start anyone in the upper regions of the GPs should be automatically at least 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website says no tickets available... Presume that isnt the case? Do they stop online tickets at some point prior to the start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 What is this utter BS bringing in Lambert? Effing joke. Belle Vue fans must feel totally embarrassed. Shameful and wrecks the playoffs. Utter joke of a decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Isn’t there a rule so no changes after 31 Aug? If I was in opposition I would tell BV to stick the trophy up their jacksy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see another track on display even if they tie is as close to a done deal as you can imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
