one of clubs 118 Posted October 3, 2022 I do not see what all the fuss is about. It is merely a like for like signing, with one rider having a lower average than the one he replaces, FFS. As for the title being already in the bag, ask our potential opponents the same question. We have not signed Bartos Zmarzlik, and let us not forget RL has not ridden in UK for a few seasons now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,355 Posted October 3, 2022 Has any of the official announcements mentioned how they have managed to get Lambert signed given "the rules"? It would be good to know maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,685 Posted October 3, 2022 I don't give 2 s#!+s about British Speedway as a competition any more, at least there could be a challenger so Doyle's not going through the card unchallenged tonight. I just hope Sheffield make the final, will be better meetings than Monmore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted October 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, lucifer sam said: I think the ruling regarding the transfer deadline is worded almost exactly the same. It's been about for years, the only bit that has changed is the date. At one point it was mid-September, now it's the end of August. It's the only relevant rule that applies in such cases. Making more than 2 changes because of long-term injury between 25% to 75% makes no odds now - we're no longer in that window! Interesting. That's yet another interpretation. I was thinking that it is saying you can make changes outside the transfer window for long-term injuries but, yes, you could be correct that it means you can only make more than 2 if you have a long-term injury.

It’s all about interpretation, as with all Speedway Rules it depends which Promotion is interpreting them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARK246 243 Posted October 3, 2022 The only thing to learn from this, is the 'team' spirit at belle vue must be bad if Lemon doesnt believe his six and Klint can beat Ipswich 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot about that,Robert will be up against tonight not having ridden here since he won the Speedway of Nations.!!! Hopefully he has improved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,197 Posted October 3, 2022 26 minutes ago, Grachan said: Actually, I've just realised that if you read rule 12.2 as it is written, the transfer window doesn't actually allow any transfers at all for proven long-term injury. "This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury." Sheffield and Wolves should get a lawyer onto that one! What does “this” refer to?

Lambert is riding contrary to the regulations. Ipswich should ride under protest, and not be afraid to explain why in front of the TV cameras. Well, I think Chris Louis would be in a position do that wouldn’t he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk127 1,363 Posted October 3, 2022 Not sure what the fuss is about. As a tie it is over, the Aces are through so just treat it like an individual meeting (ignore who is wearing what race jacket) and hopefully you will see some good races with those who turn up and hopefully all come through unscathed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
