Is there a wildcard this year? If so surely it was designed for a situation just like this.

Why? Why should ANYONE have a free pass to a final when there are qualifying rounds?

Agreed, yes it's a shame as out of his control, but not fair on the qualifiers that way. Robert can have a night off on the British Final.

My apologies. Live updates now says "No Lawson". Sure it said he broke the tapes earlier. Must be getting old. :sad:

I've booked a place in the Alzheimer's home. Ok?

Because to my mind a wildcard system is a safety net if for whatever reason one of the big names doesn't manage to get through.

 

Anyway it's moot as there doesn't seem to be a wildcard this year. So it's tough luck really. A shame for the quality of the final but one of those things.

Could be his sister, have you seen the length of his hair ? ;)

I wonder if someone will mysteriously withdraw from the next semi, to make way for Lambert? It shouldn't be allowed but it still wouldn't surprise me.

you mean it won't go to either of the 9th place finishers? How cynical.....

 

 

 

but true, I have no doubt Lambert will be wriggled in somehow!

I agree with most, Lambert has missed the 2017 British Final opportunity.

Any rider competing ​in the British Final should have completed in the semi finals.

Absolutely, any changing of the rules after the fact would be wrong.

Totally agree but I wonder if BT will put pressure on as the British Final is their first venture into domestic speedway.

The 8 qualifiers from British Final 1 are:

Schlein(13)

R Worrall(13)

Garrity(11)

King(11)

Rose(11)

S Worrall(10)

Starke(10)

Lawson(9)

 

Shame Wright gave up his place to Newman as Charles might have stood a chance
