Aceslider 218 Posted September 1, 2017 Absolutely priceless :t: Diamonds too honourable for this - but hang on this is speedway - so morals don't really come into it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) 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) Who are 'us'? :unsure: I don't think British Speedway are too bothered about 'US'. :sad: Edited September 1, 2017 by The White Knight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 1, 2017 I'll pass that on to George. Spoke to George and he says NO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEITH M 850 Posted September 1, 2017 Spoke to George and he says NO. My original post was tongue in cheek and after what Edinburgh done to us in heat 15 a few weeks ago I actually hope Redcar get 4 points if it means keeping Edinburgh out the play offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted September 1, 2017 Can't we take Robert out of the team and temporarily replace him with Matej? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really it should be allowed and then circumnavigating the International rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellers101 346 Posted September 1, 2017 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) Why is it madness? Newcastle have an obligation to put out their strongest side which they can't. From what I've heard Lambert could make it back for the meeting but has decided to ride in Poland on Sunday so why should they get a facility if its true? I've also heard that Perks who is riding in the same GB meeting as Lambert intends to ride on Sunday. Agree with others though that the sport is in a mess at present!

But surely the Polish meeting is on Sunday, so how can he get back to Newcastle ? It's a playoff meeting so how come Perks gets a mention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Initially Perks couldn't make it back but is now going to try.. Respect! Lambert has put his Polish Team ahead of his British team so why should should the Diamonds get a facility? He could ride for Newcastle is he really wanted to. Having a rider in your team who rides in Poland runs a risk of a fixture class which is Newcastles problem as they chose to sign Lambert and have stuck with him. Seems the BSPA think the same. Hasn't Ged Rathbone had his licence suspended in a similar senario by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is an international ruling that Robert has to be in Poland. Lambert could not ride for Newcastle. The last para has nowt in comparison.

Why is that? Because it's bull$hyte How many times have we heard that home federations have ordered riders to ride in their domestic leagues rather than the UK.
