leander 495 Posted September 2, 2017 As i've said before the main problem is that the Redcar match is a re-arranged fixture and Robert had already signed a contract to be in Poland BEFORE this fixture was arranged. Still Redcar must be kicking themselves as I believe they were offered the option to run this as a double header to get both fixtures run and they declined.

Good luck Robert and your Polish team and hope you make a packet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was: (Copied and Pasted off Diamonds Website): so with the Newcastle club having no option other than to re-arrange fixtures to get caught up with a fixture backlog then scheduled fixtures take priority and Lambert will be in Poland for their end of season play offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) It was: (Copied and Pasted off Diamonds Website): so with the Newcastle club having no option other than to re-arrange fixtures to get caught up with a fixture backlog then scheduled fixtures take priority and Lambert will be in Poland for their end of season play offs so basically,,, Lambert was already booked to ride in Poland and has to stand by his comittments, so Newcastle arranged the fixture already knowing this, so I don't understand how they 'have been dealt a severe blow ahead of Sunday's Derby clash with Redcar'.The authorities have no say over the matter, so why/how could they have tried to assist ? is there any more fixtures to be arranged where this scenario will occur ?

Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 2, 2017 He has to ride in Poland because the Poles said he has to, nothing more! Therefore why aren't the BSPA banning him for not fulfilling his GB fixture? Lambert has made the decision to forsake GB for Poland himself hence the Diamonds don't get a guest. Do you understand? The Redcar match is re arranged and so therefore his commitment in Poland has to be abided, had tomorrows match been a set fixture he would be at Brough. So hardly Lamberts fault... but our promotion surely knew this when arranging for Redcar to come tomorrow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashtree123 73 Posted September 2, 2017 Rubbish! Lambert will already be in Poland plus they will pay far more money than Newcastle so I can see why he would prefer to ride for his Polish club. However, this should not give Newcastle the right to a guest. They have the rider in their team knowing this could happen! Again I point out that the BSPA don't agree with your blinkered opinion as YOUR team haven't got a guest facility!!!!! He has to ride in Poland because the Poles said he has to, nothing more! Therefore why aren't the BSPA banning him for not fulfilling his GB fixture? Lambert has made the decision to forsake GB for Poland himself hence the Diamonds don't get a guest. Do you understand? Put simply. No guest for Newcastle but if Perks can't make it back the Bears have Aarnio booked as a guest apparently. Yes we know that. The issue is he has chosen to ride again in Poland the day after that meeting thus missing Newcastle v Redcar. Ellis Perks, the Redcar rider is in the same meeting as Robert today but will be attempting to get back to the UK for the Newcastle v Redcar meeting. Hence why quite rightly Newcastle don't have a guest facility whereas Redcar do if needs be, its not rocket science!!!! I understand that he has been told to ride in Poland, but by whom ?,,, if he was, say a Pole, that sort of makes sense, (a bit like when Lindgren has to ride in Sweden, we get NL guest). but how is an authority from outside Britain allowed to pull rank over British authorities over British riders ? Oh !!! I forgot, this is the UK I'm inclined to agree with 'Bellers' on this one. Can someone explain what the deal with Lambert is and what is happening on Sunday please , I don't understand , thanks By who? The Poles! A British rider putting Polish team ahead of British team. Hence quite rightly no guest facility, something a few Newcastle supporters are failing to grasp! Lambert is another who p#sses British Speedway about.Get rid of all these superstars that think they are indispensable . Right here are the facts Robert have Not put his Polish club first....... His Polish club is in the play offs and the dates have been logged on the International Speedway league Boards Calendar for ages sadly Newcastle's meeting on Sunday is a re arranged meeting so it has not been logged on the ISLB calendar so hence Poland takes priority There have been several Polish meetings Robert should have rode in But Newcastle have taken priority due to the dates being on the ISLB calendar Ellis Perks will try to get back.... if not Redcar can have a facility for him.......Any rider taking part in an FIM meeting can have a facility 24hrs before/after the meeting Hope this put an end to all the accusations about Robert choosing Poland over Newcastle, he said to me at Kings Lynn on Thursday that he don't like to let any of his teams down that he ride for..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted September 3, 2017 You would think that arranging fixtures with your nearest and dearest would be easy, but the original running and this one seems to have proved very problematic. is this the re-arranged fixture, or the one that hadn't been arranged ?
