Haza Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Seems to me the blame lays squarely at KL feet they knew had it been confirmed mid afternoon yesterday Lambert wasn’t going to be there it definitely had a impact on how many turned up last night - that said Belle Vue must have known as well but said nothing - for those who hope for Lambert to return to British speedway I’d say last night speaks louder than words - his BV singing was suited both club and rider Lambert got a big pay cheque Belle Vue got the league title but be under no illusion Lambert and many more don’t give a s##t about British speedway .

Sign smart , not cheap and be ruthless in changing the team. Do we have that.... We have a stadium owner that has a multi use stadium. Why are we always struggling ? They don't seem to want to splash the cash for the right riders, even though a successful team will pull in a few more punters. Brady as one the sponsors as well as team managers might be prepared to help on that front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, PhilTheAce said: Lambert injured himself at the smederna end of season do. He twisted his ankle dancing belle Vue would have been happy to announce this days ago, lynn on the other hand wanted him advertised, I’d say more of the blame is on lynn, what we done wrong is sign a rider just for play offs. But the BSPA approved that. They could have said no. The issue is that the meeting was advertised with Lambert included when it was known long before tapes up that he wasn't coming, absolutely Lynn at fault. The problem is speedway fans are too nice to kick up a fuss, they are taken for granted because they allow themselves to be. As Haza says it'll all be forgotten by next March. Nothing will change until British Speedway is run by a no nonsense character who won't allow clubs and riders to take the pee, like the Polish authorities who rule with an iron fist. We shouldn't even be riding in October, the league meetings and Play Offs should be done by the end of August with September for cups and individuals. The whole thing is an utter shambles, people are expected to turn up and pay £20 with no effort, transparency or customer care from those running it. Sort it out for 2023 FFS.

Col Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Bagpuss said: I don't disagree but AFAIK there weren't even dates for the pairs and last night's meeting when he signed. He may not even have known those fixtures existed. The Pairs meeting at the NSS has been scheduled for this Thursday since early September I think, but if any team shows up with their "Top Two" I'll be surprised. 8 hours ago, Bald Bloke said: Really.

Imo both promotions are at fault for advertising the said teams.They both had the opportunity to inform the fans that Lambert wasn't going to be there.They both chose not too.Would those few Belle Vue fans there have travelled had they known there team beforehand.That must have cost themselves a small fortune last night.Hopefully the Belle Vue promotion will reimburse their costs with the saving they made from not having to pay Lambert. Apart from all this rubbish going on though,the meeting was excellent and one of if not the best this season.Fair play to Zagar.S.Lambert and especially Kurtz for getting stuck in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess must be a whole 5-10 minutes,would he have missed a grand prix or a big pay day in poland,belle vue have dragged this great sport right down to the gutter . I've know riders to ride with broken bones so a twisted ankle is just an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster was there. When i got there my first impression was that i have never seen the track looking so good as it did last night.It just looked immaculate even down to the white lines.Whether they were using different material last night it just looked different.It certainly wasn't as tacky as it usually is so maybe less clay in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
