Arch Stanton 2,284 Posted October 3, 2022 4 hours ago, ouch said: Belle Vue with Max in. “Not a great team, probably choke, just don’t do it for me” Belle Vue with Max injured and replaced by Lambert. “Might as well hand them the trophy now”. No Lambert. “Lambert should be riding over here, I’m so angry he’s not”. With Lambert. “Why is he riding over here, I’m so angry”. Guest. “Guests are crazy especially in the play offs, no wonder they don’t take the sport seriously”. No Guest. “They should be made to use guests, no wonder they don’t take the sport seriously”. You guys are as dumb as. If it was the same person contradicting themselves with those views you’d have a point. As it isn’t, and with pretty much all of your posts, you’re talking absolute b0llocks. Thought better of some of those liking that guff as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be close if they get a few riders going well. I agree and if Ipswich had had any sort of lead for tonight I would have been nervous still as they have lot of track specialists but being 14 down already it's all over.

Rob B 1,263 Posted October 3, 2022 1 hour ago, SPEEDY69 said: His signing is of course for the final. They would've won easily tonight without Lambert but it should mean a bit better crowd I'd hope. The first leg at Foxhall was well supported despite being on TV and it only being a semi-final - not something that can be said for the TV matches normally. I hope the signing includes 2023 I don't think the crowd will be that big tonight, I think result being decided last week will put a lot off tonight and save their money for the final and watch on TV tonight.

Bagpuss 10,819 Posted October 3, 2022 Not for me, personally I'd always rather watch an NSS meeting rather than a Monmore one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted October 3, 2022 They really need to sort out how they apply the rules! BV (and other teams) have suffered by the playoff rules in the past which have prevented them signing a new rider - so I don’t understand why it’s allowed now! Some you win and some you lose but it doesn’t make it right. Hard to bet against BV to finally lift the trophy for the first time in a very long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,125 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I personally think the Lambert signing is against the rules, but the rules are written so poorly, can't blame Belle Vue for taking advantage of them. To me the rules are saying "all signings must be between 25% & 75% of fixtures, you're allowed 2 transfers plus injury transfers". However the rules aren't clear enough, so it could be assumed the injury rule is allowed after the transfer window. It's also not clear if the 25-75% window is for each clubs matches or the league as a whole. Clubs also made transfers after the league cup matches & before the league started, which is also out with the "transfer window"! As most fans dislike guests, I do feel any rule which stops transfers & means more guests needing to be used is daft!

Belle Vue should not have been allowed to sign Lambert, that is against the rules irrespective of interests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.V 72 1,054 Posted October 3, 2022 Forget all the different twists on the rules. The bottom line is Fricke rode all season to get Belle vue into the play offs. From his last home and away meetings with Ipswich, Sheffield and Wolves Fricke has scored 67 points.For a club to loose that fire power in the play offs down to injury in my eyes is wrong now and for any club in the future.. A like for like change in my eyes is the fair way to go Lambert will have to go some to match those scores. The change does not make Belle vue any weaker or stronger if they win it they will have deserved it if another team wins it they will have won it because they are the best and not because they beat a weakened team. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing they need to do though before much longer is change the averages of riders who were here years ago and now ride on the continent. For a start anyone in the upper regions of the GPs should be automatically at least 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
