I know that,but are you telling me someone like Tofty or Worrall wouldn't ride if a decent offer was put to them.How about giving Luke Harrison some extra laps,because Lambert won't make a difference imo.Hope I am proved wrong though.So in reality our 3 riders+1 half fit one need to score 11pts each with Lambert and Scott getting 2 between them.That is monumental imo.  

more likely scenario this is the issue with fixed race nights guests are a lucky dip depending on who is or isnt riding that night

Good job no one is over reacting!    Exactly. 

Is that Ben's Kiwi cousin?....

Or alternatively, Birmingham are the only club not racing premiership speedway and no one wants to guest who fits / is in the country

So Lynn have known for a while no doubt that Cook won't be riding,and still come up with Lambert.You are right it's a lazy guest booking,it's just to easy to ask someone who is on speed dial at Lynn than to actually try and do some work to get someone in who may do a job.
