I dread to think who the guy in the monkey suit is who used to just out or hang on the back of the car!!!! Answers on a postcard :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Max 216 Posted September 1, 2017 I'm guessing, because there is no facility allowed, it will be an NL 2.00pter. Absolute madness!! I still fancy Diamonds to win, but this has deprived the supporters (hello remember us we pay the bills!) of a rider who would have top races with Bears big boys and given us someone who will probably tootle around! Absolute madness!! (just felt I had to say it twice) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEITH M 850 Posted September 1, 2017 I might be wrong but I think the national league rider assumes Robert Lambert's average. . What if that rider falls off in his first race and hurts himself wink wink could we not use injury rider replacement for rest of meeting 😀 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheviot 4 Posted September 1, 2017 why cant we just use r/r so all our top riders can cover his rides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,683 Posted September 1, 2017 Crazy - if the Polish fixture has to take priority a facility should be granted. I like Keiths IRR idea though 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leander 495 Posted September 1, 2017 haven't got a clue how it works, or how other authorities get priority over Nationals. TBH, imo, the statement out looks like nonsense and, the fact it says that Lambert is not being released makes it look more suspicious. if he is not being released, will he not face some sort of ban ? The main problem is the fact that the Redcar fixture is a re-arranged date, and the Polish play-off dates have been in since before the start of the season.

diamond@heart 399 Posted September 1, 2017 Personally I think we should tell the Poles to F*** O** 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,156 Posted September 1, 2017 I'm guessing, because there is no facility allowed, it will be an NL 2.00pter. NDL G*: a rider eligible for a NDL Team who has never achieved an actual PL MA of 4.00 or above and not currently in a Premiership or Championship 1-7.

What if that rider falls off in his first race and hurts himself wink wink could we not use injury rider replacement for rest of meeting Why not have the NL rider twist his ankle on the parade?He then doesn't have to fall off and you can then have IRR for heat 1 also. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
