Thats the only reason BV could of given though. What else could they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he should really have been there tonight.Was told tonight he isn't injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,698 Posted October 24, 2022 Lambert is probably just as injured as Klindt and Pickering are ill. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where i think Lambo signed to win them the play offs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most will even say thank you At last... Someone gets it.... Nail on the head.... There will be the usual crowd on here, some within the "inner sanctum", who will no doubt defend what happens and that fans really dont know how "bloody hard" the promoters work... Thw reality of course was that a "meaningless event" was always going to be treated like a "meaningless event", hence it was an opportunity to make several pish taking comments on here before hand because the vast majority of us knew exactly what would happen.. Really dont know why so many who help fund the promoters through their regular payments, and therefore condone the nonsense that takes place, (and all year round remember, not just in October), seem to be unhappy about something that was always going to happen.. And will happen again... And again... And again.. Ad Infinitum... Guess what? UK Speedway doesnt really matter in any "league context", as the promoters themselves destroy any credibility by their own hand, and therefore eliminate any kudos in winning "titles"... Come next April though the same people complaining will be chomping at the bit to pay season ticket money or get down to their local track for the first meeting.. I will be one of those attending the first night, and happy to do so, as I dont take it seriously, so can happily watch the four riders per race put on an entertainment show... I will then go and watch GP's, SON, and Polish League racing through next summer and go to the NSS as and when "someone decent" is there and the weather is set fair... No one should feel "aggrieved", "angry" or "let down" about tonight as it was always going to be thus... Some fans really do get the sport they deserve... PS. Best wishes to all the riders missing tonight.. Good luck in your recovery... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,170 Posted October 24, 2022 If Lambert had only agreed to ride on the play-offs, transfer shouldn't have been allowed imo. No other ruder in Britain is allowed to pick & chose his meetings & decide league & pairs matches are below him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a shame... However.. If the meeting had been ran before the final of the competition that it was actually a qualification meeting for... Rather than a fortnight after the competition "finished".. Maybe they would have seen a full Aces septet? And a full septet of their own team too..? Just a thought...
