mrss 691 Posted August 1, 2019 It's about time the Stars management gave the fans some news on Roberts injury, how long he is likely to be out ,and what there plan is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted August 1, 2019 He has said himself he doesn’t know how long he’ll be out so I don’t expect Lynn to put a time frame on it. I can’t imagine we’ll hear anything until the preview for the next meeting ie over the weekend. Pretty sure it’ll be guests, on Monday it’s Poole, Swindon & P’boro not riding so possibly somebody like Holder or Tungate. Whoever it is has massive boots to fill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may get an idea on Saturday as he's supposed to be in the GP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted August 1, 2019 Big season this for Robert to have it end this early( if it goes that way) Grand Prix, chance to nick a place or at least make an impression for a Wild Card. Have to wonder with Tai certain to get one of the Wild Cards whether one will then be offered to another Brit. Also GP qualifiers will be missed. So that could be a massive set back. Chance to cement his future in the Polish League and the Clubs in Sweden to reevaluate Robert for next season. Big knock on affect to Kings Lynn as well. No such thing as a good time to get an injury but this seems a real bad time to cop one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GP wildcard guaranteed for Greg Hancock aswell I would think, if he decides to carry on next year The 3rd one probably Max Fricke, if he doesn't qualify automatically. More points than Lambert from 1 less GP. Edited August 1, 2019 by Call me wolfie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More points than Lambert from 1 less GP. Think it’s fair to say that Hancock and Woffy are guaranteed 2 picks. Don’t think Lambert will get in yet, a season too soon I reckon but Fricke maybe so. Although it could depend who misses out from the top 8 too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,617 Posted August 4, 2019 So with all the shananigans at Eastbourne last night lets hope any punishment that Cook rightly receives, doesn't kick in til after Monday's meeting v Ipswich, especially as Lambert is already missing from that one!

I think the sacking of Holder was more to do with what Holder called Chapman than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was representing Glasgow at the time not KL. Were you at the Eastbourne meeting? Yet you have decided he is guilty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet you have decided he is guilty A rider represents whoever he is under contract to. In this case I believe the rider is under contract to two clubs and is therefore an “ambassador” to both of those clubs no matter who he happens to be riding for on a particular night!! If I were the chairman of the BSPA I would not want an “ambassador” who behaves in this manner working in the sport for which I am responsible and, certainly not riding for one of my clubs!!!
