Racin Jason 72

Is he on busters list with holder batch schlien Pickering jakobsen et all

Ipswich are using R/R at 1 Ellis at 2 Emil at 3 Dan Thompson at 4 king at 5 Rew at 6 and Jenkins at 7. interesting line up. Understand splitting up Ellis and king and hopefully Danny won’t get in the way of the reserves at 5. Bit concerned using R/R in case Dan Thompson struggles with his shoulder on a grippy track and pulls out. seeing as we haven’t got Brennan or Nicholls I wonder if Lynn are using them instead ?

Pickering was injured and had been replaced but was going to be reintroduced possibly as fredrik Jacobsen had walked away. (Sounds familiar) but chose to go to Sheffield instead. And I believe he was the lynn captain before his injury

Kye Thompson I don’t recall jye etheridge riding for lynn

Can’t believe kings lynn didn’t sign him as soon as he became available.

I think that they don’t put enough water into the track the previous day and early on a match day. also the water bowser isn’t good enough. It’s more of a sprinkler. I think Poole and Oxford suffer from the same problem.

I thought it was worzal gummidge making a return.

I detect some sarcasm here

Like every top rider I’d imagine 80% of their earnings come from Poland. Musielak has ridden for Wolverhampton , Swindon and Sheffield without any issues and not missing meetings at a moments notice unlike many poles who haven’t been as committed to British speedway.

And your thoughts on Vadim tarasenko ?

When and who was the last rider to claim publicly they haven’t been paid during the season. unfortunately it’s fairly common in Poland Sweden and England. But generally the riders don’t call it out til after the season has finished as they don’t want to rock the boat as they hope payment is forthcoming. When they realise it isn’t only then do they say so publicly. I too have no idea if this is the situation musielak has experienced and to be fair I’ve never heard of Buster not paying on time. But I think that the truth may be very different to what’s in the public domain. But I’m sure we will never know.

Yes and rightly so.

If this situation with tobi went to court the BSPL would not have a leg to stand on. it just needs a brave promoter to take on the cartel.

I never ever take a win for granted. We have got our fingers burnt many time. Craven shield 1997 when Parker passed Rickardsson and Louis to win.

Hopefully Ipswich have booked Tom Brennan for this meeting.

That would be my choice too

I’m going for the replacement rider featured in the Ben fund meeting.

Unfortunately so I’m afraid.

Trouble is you need them more than they need you. we have lost so many teams over the last ten years so the rider pool is ever decreasing. two wrongs don’t make a right

Trouble is when you burn your bridges when you need a guest your options are more limited. Looks like mpt can be added to the list too.

I’m sure he will do exactly that. And that is the problem why you struggle to attract riders and struggle to retain them.

And made no fuss about it either.

I don’t see how the authorities could as if there isn’t any better options. You can’t call off meetings due to riders injuries or availability. We would only have a few meetings in April otherwise

Ben Barker and Jake Allen. Simon lambert jye etheridge antti voulas whilst none are up to the standard of the riders they are replacing they all could do a decent job

Surely if it’s a financial decision then magic would be gone. Especially if he is being paid as a number one but riding like a second string. can’t see much of a saving on kemp for Killeen personally. It’s a double whammy too as not only are you replacing a second string with a reserve you are also loosing a high scoring reserve into the team. then to make this move now and jeopardise your place in the playoffs is beyond madness.
