StevePark 2,781 Posted August 10, 2018 Forecast doesn't look overly clever, but fingers crossed it's wrong! According to the 'official' Workington blurb, this is a re-arranged fixture (answers on a postcard...) and they will be using NL guests for both Nicolai Klindt and Rene Bach, who have decided to ride in Poland instead.

KEITH M 850 Posted August 10, 2018 No wonder speedway is dying on its ar*e with rules like these.. I would rather see Newcastle get beat 35-55 with Bach and Klindt having cracking races with Ludvig and Robbo etc than us win 55-35 with the 2 National league guests tootling 1/4 of a lap behind.. They will have to look further afield than Josh Embleton though as he is riding for Birmingham at Coventry on Sunday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,160 Posted August 10, 2018 My car of 4 people won't now be coming to rough park, so less money into Newcastle funds, probably a few more comets fans will be missing as well, after 48 years of watching speedway my time is just about up with these stupid rules by the BSPA maffia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Lucan 375 Posted August 10, 2018 As this is an "official" fixture yet Comets management are looking at no more than NL guests to fulfill this meeting they must either be very confident of winning with four men and three reserves or, very confident it'll be rained off and it won't cost as much? If this meeting does go ahead I can honestly say I feel for the Newcastle public being lumbered with this, it's not what they expect for the money paid and quite simply they shouldn't have to.

mauger65 202 Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) jeez =just when you thought the season could not get any more farcical they need to sort this out next year quite simply - riders commit to riding in Britain and fulfilling fixtures or they are simply not signed up ….. the promoters have got to get through their selfish heads …….supplying weakened sides to away tracks is not acceptable and is killing this sport we need more british and Australian riders Edited August 11, 2018 by mauger65 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highside 118 Posted August 11, 2018 The simple soloution to this problem is dont sign riders who ride in Poland . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
