Robbobee 144 Posted May 3, 2017 Bad news for Lions fans is that Gomolski came through his SEC Qualifier yesterday & now rides in the SEC Challenge final on 20th May the same day we are home to Wolves, so now will have to face them without Gomolski & no facility for him. That night would have seen the full 1-7 appear together at home for the first time, I think. Also if he finishes in the top 7 of that meeting he will qualify for the SEC series, which is another 4 meetings, but I think only the one on the 5th August, at home against Kings Lynn clashes with Lions fixtures. This is bad news I feel but then if the rider wishes to pursue SEC stuff as opposed to BL Premiership then let him - we can replace with an 8 pt rider ? after the averages change I reckon given the cumulative gsas of the team so far .... just need to find such a rider ......

Cheers Makes you wonder if they had known Gomolski was going to do the SEC ( I think he was a late inclusion), would they have kept Wolbert instead of releasing him & ditched Gomolski. He would have still fitted average wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevethelion 192 Posted May 3, 2017 Look on the brightside. He may not get through. Lol !! Hopefully not! If you could use a like for like guest or R/R it wouldn't really matter. It's the fact no facility is given that is the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbobee 144 Posted May 3, 2017 Lions options re: Gomolski as I understand it ... 1. Retain the rider and cope with his absences re: SEC etc as best we can ... 2. Replace rider now with a rider up to 8.4 ish based on current GSA sheets ( who ? Wolbert ? ) 3. Replace rider after new GSA sheets issued with a rider c 8.00 Elite League average based on current projected GSAs ? ( again who ? ) From a loyalty perspective gotta be Option 1 If we are going to be ruthless in pursuit of a play-off spot gotta be 3 if there is such a rider to be signed and if I am right ?

speedibee 3,091 Posted May 3, 2017 That's always assuming he wants to stay I wonder if this was the reason the BSPA were so set against the SEC ,because of the effect it would have on British leagues . there is of course only so many photographers to go round 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shirl 165 Posted May 4, 2017 Are these pages moderated anymore ?? I think they must be as I replied to a troll yesterday only for both posts to be removed. My reply was not as savage as the original post but obviously contained his replies,which in my opinion was defamatory. Everyone has a right to their opinion but person vendettas are other thing. Let's keep it real and stick to the speedway Shirl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
