Though at the same time why should Eastbourne miss out? Lawson has been in pretty poor form at Ipswich recently that a guess wouldnt weaken us to much Eastbourne by the rules get preference...... R/R wouldnt be the worst move either How is it ridiculous for him to miss a play off meeting? Rules are rules...............most clubs like to stick by them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted September 23, 2019 The same situation will now arise on 13th October - Newcastle v Redcar in CLKOC final, Wolverhampton v Peterborough in PST. (Charles Wright and Ulrich Ostergaard). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To even things out and to let each meeting have one of those riders I think Peterborough should use Charles Wright and Newcastle Ulrich Ostergaard Edited September 23, 2019 by KEITH M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Lawson hasn't been great recently at Foxhall but he's been there all season in the league and for him to miss the playoffs is a bit stupid (but hey those the speedway rules) Replacement has to come from a team not in the play offs, so Belle Vue, Kings Lynn or Peterborough and under his 6.90 ave. Bjerre, Fricke, Lambert and Cook too high. Nicholls, Wright, Proctor, Kerr, Riss, Palm Toft all riding elsewhere. So that leaves.... Bewley, S Worrall, Tungate, Andersen. Unless Ipswich use a CL only rider like Barker or Auty. Edited September 23, 2019 by 2ndbendbeerhut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,245 Posted September 23, 2019 Lawson will ride for Ipswich on Saturday. Confirmed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woofers 467 Posted September 23, 2019 Regarding the situation with Lawson, the sensible thing to do would be to move the Eastbourne v Birmingham meeting to the following Saturday. This is the last meeting of the year for Eastbourne and it’s traditional that the riders that have served and performed over the year are present. Last years finale against Mildenhall was cancelled altogether and we are still awaiting the outcome of the SCBs ‘full investigation’. We don’t need another disappointment this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
