I'll grant you that they've probably tied themselves up in rules of their own making They'd never have to use a "junior" if they said he's witholding his services, Laguta would get a 28 day ban & Lynn would be allowed guests up to his 8.00 average, if Lynn said we've told him to stay home so we can save money they it's "no facility" so a guest up to 6.00 (75% of his average). I think it's a massive slap in the face of all fans to just pretend he's injured when he's made a comeback successfully in Poland yesterday! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outright lying with a sentence that “Laguta is injured, so Chris Harris guests” is utter b0ll0cks. Totally agree with everything you've said! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get well soon Artem... #prayforartem.... More people believed King's Lynn pit gate was broken than believe Laguta is actually injured 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The options are: 1. say he's withholding his services = 28 day ban 2. say he's "unavailable" = junior replacement 3. say he's dropped = team re-declaration 4. say he's injured = guest and revert to "normal" for the next match 5. pay him his fee and ride him at Wolves The option that is best for Buster is clearly option 4, the option that is best for the sport and the fans is option 5. But without option 4 there is not likely to be a King's Lynn speedway next season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJC 253 Posted June 26, 2023 Would be more surprised if someone actually asks Phil for his thoughts on the absence as presumably he'll be at the televised meeting. Tatum doesn''t have it in him, Scotty won't want to drop an old employer in the mud and 0 expectation of Abi too do it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 418 Posted June 26, 2023 I suspect Artem is as injured as ruthless Robert was when Belle Vue rode at King’s Lynn after they had won the title last season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troy 61 Posted June 26, 2023 As much as I tend to enjoy watching Bomber around Monmore, it's a real shame that we won't get a rare chance to see a rider like Laguta visit this evening. Speedway fans, as per usual, are the losers in these scenarios. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krompa 236 Posted June 26, 2023 What is this all fuss about? Artem "Prigozhin" Laguta is simply afraid to fight at Monmore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
