Unless the management can find a decent replacement quickly, I would say that it’s season over . Always slightly strange how he was allowed to in the first place once the initial cover ended and the other leagues started.. Was it the "job share" with Woffy that enabled it? If so, what has changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should imagine the Poles noted that a couple of weeks ago NKI rode Monday England Tuesday Sweden Wednesday Denmark Thursday England and thought hello that`s Poland and 3 other NOT 2 - we are not having that !! and took action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After last season's disaster, i thought we might be able to do something this season. As it stands we're only 5 points ahead of the Panthers, who are bottom and due to strengthen..

Bagpuss 10,765 Posted June 17, 2022 Assuming it's a 28 day ban (ie the next month as stated) then it's R/R or guests, not ideal but probably better than any signing who would be available. So not necessarily season over. Losing Thomas is potentially a bigger blow though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,658 Posted June 17, 2022 I don't agree with the averages changing a week after they should do.But now Lynn have to use it if it can be done.Also only if R.Lambert is available come July.Can Lynn after next weeks match against Sheffield drop Lawson and bring in Lambert before the averages change.Then on the 1st of July bring Lawson back in for Iversen as it is looking like his average could fall below Iversen's.I know there is a rule about not being able to re-introduce a rider that has been dropped,although in the best interests could come into play.Problem is the likelehood is Lambert wouldn't be available anyway.R/R isn't good enough,guests rarely are too. This is a huge blow to Lynn following on from the news of the injury to Jack Thomas.The play-offs at present look a million miles off.Thank you Poland.

From Dale, “It’s a tough one for us at the moment, but we do believe and understand that this rule will be changed for next year." Next year . Time to get ruthless..

LagutaRacingFan 1,930 Posted June 17, 2022 I don't think Lynn should get a facility, they signed Iversen knowing he could miss matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the profile polish speedway has and the money involved then I don't blame them. It's not Poland's fault that UK speedway has been mismanaged for decades.

But if they bought down the demise of speedway in those countries,they must think where Polish speedway wil be in 20/30 years time.There won't be any Lamberts,Madsens,Lindgrens to pick.
