Unfortunately now riders are classed as self employed not contracted to a club, they go where the ££s are either north or to the south coast. As for flights to the holy land (Poland) most leave early Sunday morning, but with it potentially being a later start at Workington in 2027, the riders would get to an airport after midnight or later, where this season it was possible to be at a local ish airport by 8 o clock

Surprised? Really??

Surprised they aren't trying again next week as it is half term. 

If Lambert doesn't want to ride here let him, but don't let him ride in the British Final either

The'folk in power' ie the BSPL Management Board are 3 Prem promoters ( plus Phil Morris)  and 2 Championship Promoters, so who is better qualified, connected,a visionary and dare I say, independent?

The sport doesn't really need too many "new promoters/owners", what is required is a fresh set of thinking, taking into account what is possible in the short term and a vision to where this will lead in the more immediate medium term i.e. 1 - 3 years and then grow from there.  One main issue (and there are a few more) is that the folk in power, albeit with good intention, are actually blocking the prospects of growth, and so first and foremost changes are required within the sport hierarchy that enables those better qualified, connected and vision to step up and lead the way forward.
