The table doesn't lie.

You are right, scenarios 1 & 2 shouldn't be allowed to happen either. But at least they have stopped it for the actual league play offs. And I'd argue it could affect a rider's own team....they could contribute towards eliminating a side they don't want to face or helping a team get through who they do!

Panthers vs Lions - Thursday 7th September
Bagpuss replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Truth is we'll never know, but if he hadn't fallen off and managed to have an injury and fall-free run for the first weeks of the season I expect things would have been very different. I do agree with a previous comment, it's a bit of a coincidence that the team has become a lot stronger since the former co promoter left the scene -
I'm sure we all would but I can't see Robert doing three leagues plus GP's. Highly unlikely he'll start the season in the UK.

Redcar v Glasgow 10th September
Bagpuss replied to Biffa's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Its pretty simple. He's represnting a Polish team on their protected race day. Good luck to him. -
Panthers vs Lions - Thursday 7th September
Bagpuss replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And going on and on and on about any GP riders going head to head in that particular meeting. -
Absolutely agree. I also think he doesn't need shielding from harder meetings such as our Premiership or Poland next year, we've been guilty of doing that in the past with our promising youngsters. These next two or three years will be vital in his development and riding in difficult races will pull him along.
-
Agreed, farcical.
-
Speedway supporters fawn over riders unfortunately, half the reason why they think its run for them and not the fans/clubs.
-
Let's not pick over the bones of Wolves & P'boro just yet though.

Unfortunately he's not the first young foreign rider who has come over to Lynn and been all at sea round the AFA, far too much clay and grip. Granted his away scores have been poor too but he'd fare better on a different home track I'm sure.
-
He's had one meeting in the Championship and scored paid nine
-
I think these Premiership rides are great experience, as long as he knows that he's not expected to score points and he doesn't let his head go down. Every lap he does between now and the end of the season with three other riders will build towards him fulfilling his potential, as has been said lets see how he develops over the next two or three years
-
He can and he is. Plymouth are at Brum on Wednesday and @Mike0310 thought that Sedgemen & Thompson would be riding for the home team against the Gladiators, forgetting that Thompson is now a Pirate which @Skidder1 pointed out (they are at Armadale Wednesday evening).

Kings Lynn v Ipswich 4th September
Bagpuss replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Never thought I'd say this but Simon Lambert needs to be on the team sheet next year whatever league we are in. -
Kings Lynn v Ipswich 4th September
Bagpuss replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You'd expect nothing else from Haqkins, he usually stirs the pot when they are about to ride Lynn. By rights Ipswich should win this after being denied a massive win by the last postponement but a Lynn win would be rather amusing. Just can't see it though. -
Championship Pairs - Sep 1st
Bagpuss replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well done Glasgow! -
I think the expectation is there because of how far he has come in a year since first sitting astride a speedway bike, and the style he has on the bike already. Best thing he can do is get over to Poland next year, its been rumoured that that will be the case. It could go either way of course but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he isn't a big name in the sport in a few years time.

Years ago before it was made even tighter.

Sheffield v King's Lynn 31/8/23

Apart from that -
Sheffield v King's Lynn 31/8/23
Bagpuss replied to tellboy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think the point is that if he is riding in Denmark then there is absolutely no reason why he can't ride at Sheffield tomorrow evening. -
Sheffield v King's Lynn 31/8/23
Bagpuss replied to tellboy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I suspect the kitty has run dry now that Robert has been signed. -
I seem to remember recall Lynn buying him in 2018 but could be wrong.
