Don't need to, it was all within the rules. The crowd wouldn't have liked it if he hadn't made it back, and then found out he could have. Hats off to Robert.

The meeting was rained off so the interpretation of him being missing changed from being AWOL to unable to get back after a rain off. As you say ' all within the rules ' but just another example of our Micky mouse rules and the jokers who interpret them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted June 14, 2019 Has anything been said about the 90th anniversary meeting? The return of Robert Lambert perhaps? Maybe even bigger and Kenneth Bjerre and Nicki Pedersen might make a return? Or do we get to watch Danny Phillips Vs Luke Ruddick or something similar instead... Hope there's a special meeting with lots of Junior races too, with Archie involved as well... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the bottom 5 lines of your post will happen at some point.. but let's hope the promotion can get some legends back on track & hopefully the Owen brothers make a very welcome return among others 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I never mentioned any named of riders who did ride for us at the beginning of there careers Steve as it would be unfair on the promotion as some still ride and have polish contracts.. I'm sure they will come if they can make it !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was on the SpeedwayGB fixtures page and noticed the same. 7th July is a reserve date for the top league in Poland I think? Edited June 14, 2019 by sparks123 Additional comment.

Assume that's to make space for Edinburgh in the cup? Edinburgh already racing on 30th so moves had to be made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

League fixtures against Edinburgh are listed for Fri 12 July and Sun 14th July. I would suspect that they are swopped to be the KOC fixtures and the league matches re-arranged for later on. The Berwick fixture was originally down for 08 September and was our last league match. can't see the KOC being left that late. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
