  1. Pretty convenient Robert Lambert is "stranded in Poland" due to Coronavirus Oh my god, never saw that coming did we
  2. The difference with Doyle is he wasn't established in the Ekstraliga. Had Doyle done the Ekstraliga at 21, been poor they would have dropped double quick and never to be seen again. He pretty much hit the ground running in the Ekstraliga and never looked back. Lambert is their earlier and has to perform or he gets left behind. History has shown how ruthless the Pole's are. If Lambert fails in the Ekstraliga in the next 2 seasons that's pretty much a top level career gone for him.
  3. For Lambert, he has to cut it in the Ekstraliga or he'll just become another one of those Brits where we end up saying "what a waste of a great talant." At his age, he's better than most other rider's around the world of the same age, except for the Pole's. Some say he has time on his side, thinking about it though, I'd now say the opposite. I think he has 2 years tops or the Ekstraliga won't ever touch him again & being in that league is absolutely critical in being able to finance any hope of cutting it at GP level.
  4. You say negative, I say being 100% realistic
  5. Spelling police alert!!!! Spelling police alert!!!!  I love you Geoff Don't have an argument so gets offensive. You're such a sexy beast
  6. I'm stund with the amount of Speedway fans in meltdown at the thought of 2020 not even happening. It is very very highly likely Speedway will not resume until 2021 minimum. Get used to it, wind ya necks in & get a sense of reality of what's going on around the world.
  7. Folk need to get used to the whole idea of 2020 being cancelled.
  8. Was a massive fan of Lambert. I don't know but something may have happened between those 2 & wasn't to complimentary of Lambert during 2019.
  9. Ues he can really kick on. In fact, this break in play will do every rider who's had operations & injuries over the winter & also those with long term injuries. I'd say, if this season (year) doesn't start at all which is currently predicted for most sports, we should see the 'fittest' set of rider's the sport has ever seen. This providing UK Speedway survives in it's current format after Covid-19.
  10. I genuinely believe this will kill British Speedway stone cold dead. As said, most attending are over 60 & have been going for their lifetime. Once the habits are broken the majority will not come back to Speedway. This virus may not kill as many of the elderly as first expected but it most certainly will kill this sport.
  11. This could finish Speedway as we know it for good in the UK.
  12. Reading between the lines, did someone get, or very nearly injured by a BB driver & H&S has called the shots on the BB parking ban? It can surely be the only reasonable explanation for the BB ban inside the perimeter fence. Just maybe a court case is ongoing and an explanation cannot be given to protect the case?
  13. Well done & good luck to @AlexBrady in his sponsorship of the Stars in 2020
  14. Absolutely, can see the floating speedway fans that usually go to the AFA swapping over to the Showground too. Fancy this Panthers side to win at the AFA if both team stay injury free.
  15. Everybody has access to podcast, Facebook, Twitter etc. To be on here you need access to the Internet. It's not the clubs fault but your personal choice to not venture to these other outlets that has information
  16. I hope it works well for both Crump & Ipswich but after a couple of months I feel Jason will remember why he retired in the first place
  17. Not true, Crump has been on a bike quite regularly in Oz, was racing in their winter months (during the UK season). Has lost over stone in weight since xmas too.
  18. Unbelievably sad Condolences to all of Danny's family and friends
  19. But you now can't read anythings from the Lynn News online without having to 'pay-per-article' or by a copy. Generally people only view the EDP if they're interested in Norwich City as it's actually quite poor for news on the King's Lynn area. As far as I'm concerned, social media and the clubs own website is the best way to get news out.
  20. No shock signings and nothing to get excited about with this team. 4 of the 7 shouldn't have been included
  21. Now Poole have gone I don't see what this ruling adds. Can't think of any team last season or before that that's made many changes for the sake of change. While it sounds like something, it's actually nothing.
  22. It'll be a tough ask but it's certainly required that a minimum of 25 points is scored by those three home and away
  23. It's actually a difficult choice after Swindon finishing top with the current line up's. Below is a current line-up list and I've added a second list of predicted finishing positions after potential changes for injuries / sackings are considered. 1. Swindon 2. Wolves 3. Sheffield, King's Lynn, Belle Vue 4. Sheffield, King's Lynn, Belle Vue 5. Sheffield, King's Lynn, Belle Vue 6. Peterborough, Ipswich 7. Peterborough, Ipswich ___________________________________ 1. Swindon (always manage to find someone) 2. Wolves (like Swindon, 8/10 times find replacements) 3. Belle Vue (as above) 4. Ipswich (Louis will not allow Ipswich to finish bottom) 5. Sheffield (after the layout for Pedersen and Holder, any replacements will be bargain basement) 6. King's Lynn (Buster holds the purse strings, the excuses of nothing other than poor, low budget options will be available at the time) 7. Peterborough (see King's Lynn)
