Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted July 14, 2016 Don't say that. One of my friends is heading up there tomorrow. Kings Lynn today, Belle Vue Friday and Leicester Saturday. Glasgow, Newcastle and Somerset are all riding tomorrow so I Am assuming Summers, Lindgren & Starke may not be available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bump 254 Posted July 14, 2016 Yep. All 3 riders on premier league duty according to the Belle Vue website. Makes me wonder why the meeting is even taking place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me wonder why the meeting is even taking place Indeed - and still we await a team to arrive at the NSS for an Elite League match wth all 7 of their own / first choice riders!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bump 254 Posted July 14, 2016 It's certainly a triumph for the fixture planning/ re-scheduling/ sitting round desks twiddling thumbs type people that pretend to organise British speedway. Marvellous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevethelion 192 Posted July 14, 2016 It's certainly a triumph for the fixture planning/ re-scheduling/ sitting round desks twiddling thumbs type people that pretend to organise British speedway. Marvellous. When the fixtures were announced at the beginning of the season, Lindgren & Summers weren't in the Lions team, so originally they would have only been missing Starke. Not ideal but in this case circumstances have made it unavoidable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted July 14, 2016 It'll be good to see MPT. I've always liked him and think if he had a stable of consistently good bikes would be a star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Bump 254 Posted July 14, 2016 Indeed - surely it should be R/R for Summers and an EDR guest for Starke. I believe you're absolutely right. However I don't think Leicester are trying to pull a fast one. Either way up we're doomed I tell you, doomed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way up we're doomed I tell you, doomed We've been where you are now, it's no fun watching your team get spanked week after week, hang on in there, the whole of the EL is in a mess and hopefully the BSPA will get there act together over the winter months and help our sport to climb out of this mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) I wonder if Belle Vue will log a dispute before the meeting starts as doesn't it have to be another guest from the draft for Paul Starke. I didn't think you could use RR for a draft rider, that's what Poole & Coventry were both told when Newman & Bates were out. Tonight's team: @Paddy_Hougaard, Hugh Skidmore, @nklindt, RR for Paul Starke, @SzWozniak, Michael Palm Toft & @joshautyracing.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 15, 2016 Looks like another decent crowd for tonight, over 700 seats in the grandstand have gone already and there are only 44 of the £23 luxury seats that nobody uses available. Belle Vue are on a winner with Friday speedway. Standing room only then!!! Thieving b@$t@*ds those Mancs!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
