Hopefully the powers at be see some sense and give them a time scale to replace him or make them use NL guests. I thought there was a time limit in the rules?

OldtimerRay 87 Posted April 26, 2022 Could have been more if Lambert could score points away but no doubt there will be a boring reply from someone stating he is in the team to score at home but even at home he is struggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I must admit I’m a lambert fan but if he keeps going like this it’s going to lead to a tough situation for both parties Edited April 26, 2022 by Ryan555 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted April 26, 2022 3 pts from 3 riders and Scunthorpe Scorpions go and get a bonus point at Plymouth tonight ,not many teams will get a bonus point at the Gladiators this season . Well done to all 7 riders it takes balls to put your leg over a speedway machine and race for our entertainment , ignore the internet warriors who have never sat on a bike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'd be a bit stuck come the playoffs anyway when you can't use anyone from a team who is also in the playoffs! Is there a replacement they can sign as Ed has quite a high average?

For so many it is their only job so they are professional sportsmen investing in very expensive kit to deliver a much greater return in earnings.... A "risky profession" no doubt, but so is Boxing, MMA, Skiing, Other motor sports etc... Not to mention Firefighting, Police, and the Armed Services... None of the above anyone does "for our entertainment"... Some do it for the money, some for the adrenaline rush... No more than that. .. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert 304 Posted April 26, 2022 Scunny had the majority of race winners.. enough to normally win a meeting... the obvious weak links cost us tonight, too many 0's on the scorecard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Entertainment, money, a hobby, a job, a career All different reasons or a combination of reasons as to why a rider takes up speedway. I'm a personal friend of an ex rider and he never enjoyed racing so he tells me. I know a couple of young riders in the NL, one sees it more as a hobby as he as a job &; the other one sees it more as a professional career. Nearly all riders entertain after the race as finished, Skornicki with his doughnuts, the late Danny Ayres , Zorro etc etc Respect to all that cock their leg over Edited April 27, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,063 Posted April 27, 2022 Fair play to Scunny on getting a hard earned point. Douglas is proving to be a proper number 1, as expected, but Aarnio really seems to have turned a corner! Kennedy is looking useful too. There’s obviously still some weak links but maybe when Lambert drops to reserve he’ll start firing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
