Bagpuss 10,783 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, lucifer sam said: So to summarise, Belle Vue read the rulebook wrong, and BSPL/SCB refused the change. But Robert Lambert complains about it on social media, at which point they don't want to upset him in case he quits Team GB and have now broken their own rules. Does this pretty much sum it up? Nope, seems like a lawyer got involved and proved that the management committee can't interpret their own rulebook properly. Seeing as they haven't been fit for purpose for years that's hardly a surprise. Edited October 3, 2022 by Bagpuss 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrs 3,290 Posted October 3, 2022 Let's hope tonights match doesn't get rained off . It should put a few more bums on seats. Be good to see Lambert racing in this country again. With luck the situation will be brought up at the Tory conference in Birmingham, and Truss and KamiKwasi will support the decision and will forbid any U turns.

Haza 1,774 Posted October 3, 2022 Great to see a rider like Lambert back in British speedway absolutely- but if he had Polish fixtures were would he be were was he when the British final was run ? and come next March will he have signed up for a full season ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted October 3, 2022 I would imagine Belle Vue want Sheffield to get to the final as Lambert hasn't been great at Monmore Green in the past and I doubt it suits him any better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's probably ridden there plenty of times, 2019 for a start. Plus those years he did in the second division as a teenager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rulebook can be ambiguous - in this case I wouldn't say it was. The cut-off deadline is quite clear, while any reference to long-term injuries as in regards to how many times you can make changes within the transfer window. Belle Vue Speedway are a credit to the sport, while Robert Lambert is a terrific rider, but there's a rulebook to be followed. This is the equivalent of Man City signing Messi just for the Champions League final and makes speedway look stupid. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
