If he hates our tracks so much then why doesn't he sod off to Poland permanently instead of using our league as a cash cow once his Polish fixtures finish. Take the other baby (Holder) with him.

The Dog 413 Posted October 3, 2023 Maybe Lambert expected too much of a showcase speedway final and was narked at poor refereeing and an absolute dogturd of a track. The exact reason he probably has no interest in doing a full season here and quite frankly, I don't blame him. As a neutral I agree with what he said and applaud his honesty, but British Speedway will never listen to riders and wonder why it's going down the pan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I've got so much respect for Jason Doyle because he's always been loyal to our league. Box office too... Interesting to see how the two truly world class riders on show tonight could handle the track... Men and Boys springs to mind... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In any case two out of fourteen riders being able to handle the track isn't good enough. That was an awful speedway meeting, and we get far too many of those in this country. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taff 1 Posted October 3, 2023 Bewley is r best hope of the next British world champion lambert goes missing when things get hard showed that tonight and that comment about that’s the problem with British speedway we’ll do everyone a favour and bugger off instead of rinsing the money out of hard working people to fill up his bank account at the end of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I wonder if any of the keyboard warriors on here were actually trackside? Nothing wrong with it at all, just need Skill to ride it fast. Hume falls on the track all the time as he doesn't get off the seat, very similar to how Jake Allen used to ride it. Others showed how it could be done, one of Doyle's best meetings for the Witches, him and Emil a class above, riding together for those 2 5-1s. Messrs LorM and Gollob would loved that tonight. The 2k crowd left the track in great spirits. Edited October 3, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liontamer 202 Posted October 3, 2023 I've always supported Lambert in the past, but tonight be confirmed what a jumped up little twonk he is. "The track was a joke" "I've already had a word with the referee about Thursday." I'm pigged off with these end of season mercenaries turning up for a big end of season pay day, who probably end up with a league winners medal, but don't give a chuff about British speedway. If you can't be arsed to commit to a full season riding over here, don't bother to turn up for a couldn't give a sh*t which team I ride for, for the last two weeks of the season, big bonus. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,290 Posted October 3, 2023 Not many Tigers fans on here tonight... If they win by 20 on Thursday I bet there will be.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeW436 597 Posted October 3, 2023 Is it right the track was similar tonight to a couple of weeks ago when Sheffield was last at Foxhall? Why did Sheffield expect anything different tonight? It clearly worked for Ipswich that night and also against Belle Vue so they aren’t going to radically change it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get winning in a final is great... And Doyle and Emil, and Pickering to be fair, showed the track could be attacked.. But, honestly, the racing was crap... A whole straight between riders .. And I was there to watch the same last week... I am happy Ippo won, but it was rubbish to watch as a Speedway fan.. Steady's face did make up for a lot of that though...

Gavan 5,050 Posted October 3, 2023 Heard from the track that Doyle has gone to hospital and is a doubt for Thursday apparently…. This could make things interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am suggesting that they are of a higher level.. One is probably the second best rider in the world, and the other has been on the top step, and is consistently, wherever he rides one of the best riders on view.. Robert is a bit like Dan, genuinely talented to a top ten level, but found wanting in those "tough moments" that seperate the true best from the next best..
