Exactly, plus look at Birmingham. You could say they had Evan under strength side, but at least they don't call off meetings because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn’t be forced to race without Patryk because Poland have put their qualifying meetings on a UK race night! I hate it when meetings are postponed but F**K Polish speedway, they know when our meetings are as our fixtures have been out for months on end. #OurStars Completely disagree, postponing this match doesn't hurt Poland in the slightest. Only messes up Lynn & Leicester fans who've planned to go. Besides what if Wojdylo was available but had gotten injured, are they allowed to cancel the meeting because they don't want to use a guest who may not score as much? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t Wolves made to go to Sheffield last year with 4 riders missing eventually rained off. Simon Lambert commented on FB that no one asked him to ride, he'd be a fair replacement for Wojdylo, especially after his great performances last year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyag Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 It`s about time the authorities took action against Chapman, he is just bringing the sport in to disrepute with his constant actions. Not sure why some on here stick up for him, okay he threatens to shut the track down if they do not attend but he will shut it down at a whim when he decides his time is up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 If they are going to allow teams to call off matches due to being under strength (which I don't agree with) surely there has to be a minimum amount of riders missing i.e more than two? If Lynn are doing this to save on lost income, I can understand that, but they shouldn't be allowed to do it to gain league points. Perhaps they should be deducted 2 league points, so a win in the re-staging is no better than a loss on the night (except for Leicester losing out on points)?

szkocjasid Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 What would happen if Doyle (9.18) was missing for Ipswich & they wanted to use Jack Holder (8.89) as a guest, but he wasn't available, so had to settle for Brady Kurtz (8.72) instead, would they be allowed to postpone the meeting due to being understrength? Now they've allowed it, where do you draw the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) I think the whole basis of the call off and Lynn's grievance is that the Polish meetings have been arranged at short notice and the Leicester meeting rearranged to an evening where Wojdylo was (and should be) available. All this talk of if he'd been injured and only two riders being missing (the press release states that the Museilak injury is irrelevant to their stance) doesn't really matter. Not saying I agree with it as I'm trying to get my head round it still but having seen his performance last week and how important he is to the team at the moment you can see why Lynn don't want to run without him when he's not injured.

For all the criticism Buster has had on this forum to date, I’ve always given him the benefit of the doubt, but this has raised the piss take level. Injuries/absences are part of sport and a massive part of speedway in particular. This is basically an admission that he daren’t field any team to further weaken his declared crap 1 to 7. Would love to see Buster’s reaction if a depleted team were due to visit Lynn and the BSPA were advised at the last minute that the visitors wanted to cry off because their number one had a runny nose. It would seem that assembling a competitive team is not essential if you have a large vault of piss poor excuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 So say hypothetically Wojdylo gets injured in this polish meeting, will buster cancel the remaining kl fixtures until he and tobi are fit because he doesn’t want to ride without them? Where do you draw the line. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real outrage is that this seems to be the prerogative of the home team. Visitors are frequently two riders short and nobody bats an eyelid. I imagine Buster will end up running twice a week with 3+ guests in early September in order to fit fixtures in as he'll probably cancel every week now on the basis that Ben Basso's a mechanic down or the start Marshall is ill.
