Most likely will be Richard Lawson There’ll be plenty of options even if they’re not eye catching. We have two 3 pointers for a start, one of which is a rising star that we have no choice with, but we have a few lower end averaged riders that could potentially be swapped out at some point. I’m certain as the season progresses more options will become available as the travel plan becomes clearer. This won’t be the 1-7 that finishes the season, that I’ll guarantee.

Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 13, 2021 41 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: Klindt out and replaced by Jake Allen permanently but Allen not available for this fixture. Jordan Stewart also missing. So it’s R/R for Klindt, and a guest yet to be named for Stewart. Great start! And so another great speedway season begins 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if we’ll see the first R/R of the season? No surprise about Klindt. Heard a whisper the change was in the offing but surprised about Stewart.

I think most people saw the Klindt situation being odds on this would happen Visa delays it seems with Stewart. Processes have to be followed and the next can't begin until the previous is complete Just goes to show that whilst everything changes nothing really changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cynical me also wonders why this was announced the day after tickets went on sale...... I'd say realist rather than cynic (unfortunately) same old bs straight from the start Luckily cash on the night is still an option at Foxhall and I will be taking that option and evaluating developments before parting with my hard earned each time With a 2000 initial capacity I don't see myself missing out as a result!

Don’t worry about me I’ll be on (last years this year) holibobs. I’ve long given up on speedway as a sport or a way to spend money.

From what I have heard their is some slack being given this year as travelling in and out of the country will undoubtedly cause problems for most teams at some points. I just hope that this slack is applied fairly to everyone and no one is allowed to take advantage. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That goes for Monday's meeting. Should be 2 NL guests for Ipswich as neither of the missing riders have ridden for the club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
