szkocjasid Posted July 9, 2024 Report Share Posted July 9, 2024 (edited) IMO the longer it takes to announce the fixtures, the harder it is to convince the fans they are important meetings. If they are treated like low ranking events, why would fans be excited to attend? Edited July 10, 2024 by szkocjasid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion Poole have such a strong team and home track advantage that ties could be over if they have the first leg in semi finals which they seem to have manipulated. Can't understand why they haven't sorted a date out to come to Workington for the BSN semi, riders not available due to Poland maybe ?

If Poole are organised & want to get their fixtures done before October well done to them. I remember when many people said having the second leg at home was an advantage, how times change lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Lambert's 2023 away ave was 5.09 (5.94). His 24 ave is 5.03 (6.06). At home in 23 7.24 (8.11) but in 24 it's dropped to 6.76 (7.59). So his average may have dropped slightly but I'd hardly call that a stinker of a season, nor a reason to retire. Poole is a notoriously difficult track fir away riders to score well on, so I wouldn't bother too much about tonights score.

IronScorpion Posted July 25, 2024 Report Share Posted July 25, 2024 He is or has been suffering with an illness this past month &, as captain, maybe he does not want to let the side down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Could be worse, could have Jye Etheridge! Lambert is probably a 5-6 point rider at best, he's not suddenly going to become an 8 point plus rider in his mid thirties. He was always mostly a 3-4 point rider in a stronger championship from what I remember, he's probably riding to the level he's capable of I would of thought?

For a rider who has been racing 20 years now he should be a top heat leader which he never has. Expand Just because he's been riding for 20 years, doesn't mean he'll be a heat leader, that's not how speedway (or any sport) works. He's a career Championship second string, no shame in that, the sport still needs riders like this. I'll agree he's been disappointing this season, maybe last season was a one-off great year, doesn't mean he needs to retire though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scunny1 Posted July 26, 2024 Report Share Posted July 26, 2024 They can all redeem themselves tonight after the dire performance at Poole. Just beat Workington convincingly, take the bonus and we can try and forget midweek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted July 27, 2024 Report Share Posted July 27, 2024 Poole won away at Glasgow and Workington, they spanked Scunny by 31 points......... Poole are going to win everything as it stands. Scunny may as well gamble on bringing in a foreigner on a 5 point average, they might find a Tarasenko type rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted July 27, 2024 Report Share Posted July 27, 2024 Everyone on he having a dig at Lambo’s form this season ? ,a fact which might bear interest is he has suffered with pneumonia recently and that has affected his form 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
