Deltalima 9 Posted September 12, 2019 Well I have just returned home and have to say what a let down that was as upon arriving I find out that Robert Lambert isn’t here. For the paying punter it sucks and really is a kick in the teeth for British speedway. Fair play to young Chad he looked eager to please and gave it his all but the whole episode just puts a dark cloud over proceedings. I like my team to win but this spoilt what could have been an entertaining meeting. Oh well onto monday 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also wouldn’t be allowed to quit one league and continue in the other as he would get a 28 day ban 28 day ban sounds ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,779 Posted September 13, 2019 Ignoring the circumstances last night that result means we’ve gone through our away programme with just one draw and no wins.....simply nowhere near good enough and needs addressing for next year. Two or three need moving on and some fresh faces introducing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not rocket science, get rid of the holes, bumps and ruts and riders will enjoy racing on what is a pretty decent shaped track. Just a pity it took them so long to sort it.

semion 2,192 Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) When is the much needed and massive in terms of World Speedway event? I am of course referring to the Neil Middleditch testimonial?

I thought the track was a little bit iffy again last night, so I guess its all down to what mood the riders are in. Cook rode well and looked fast all night but so did Holder and Klindt. Harris was either very quick or very slow, not helped by obvious machine issues (which I hope he hasn't fixed by Monday!). Not sure what referee Ronnie Allen was on?? All everyone wants is a bit of consistency with decisions! Edited September 13, 2019 by Skidder1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
