Can't speak on behalf of the other 6 you have named, but as we sit here today, Robert Lambert won't be riding in the UK next season for anybody, let alone Belle Vue, and that couldn't come from a more reliable source. But i agree with Phil, Dan Bewley will be back at Belle Vue and definitely nowhere else. Lots of Team Building already done, nobody wants to announce anything yet, but some teams i would expect are already complete, if not close.

If that is the case then BSPL/SCB/ACU needs to stick to their guns and revoke his licence, not consider him for any competition or nomination and move on

That then needs to be a permanent move - he may not need any of that now but if/when he may do in the future it has to still be in effect

What exactly is the angle in court?

Polish contract: you must limit your employment to ours and a maximum of 2 others = not a violation of human rights.

ACU licence: you must ride in British speedway to be granted start permission abroad with an ACU licence = violation of human rights...?

There's no obligation to take out an ACU licence - I'm sure there's a lot of other federations who would happily allow him to take out a licence. However, as with Polish contracts, you have to deal with the consequences.

i don’t think it’s any violation of human rights whatsoever but it’s clearly an attempt to strong arm lambert and possibly one or two others and to what end? For them to say cheers then I’ll get a polish license next year best of luck in the SoN and World Cup going forward

Massive Polish Zloty in exchange for power and control.

The Polish contract is a classic case of how much is your freedom worth to you when it comes to your Speedway career?

No point in any rider complaining about any ruling by the Polish because they've got no choice but to oblige once the ink is dry on the Polish contracts that they've personally signed.

He who pays the piper, calls the tune...

Lol don’t be silly, who can blame the lad if he doesn’t want to ride over here in derelict stadiums on rubbish tracks? He’s barely ridden over here the past few years and has became world champion. Let’s be honest the only reason Kurtz, Doyle and Holders ride here is because they live here. 
 

Going by your reasoning let’s stop Harry Kane, Antony Gordon and Jude Bellingham playing for England because they don’t play in the premier league.

It'll be a shame if they do that, but ultimately, so what? Winning the SoN and having a British World Champion - that doesn't ride here - has so far done very little to boost the standing of the sport in this country. If they choose to get a Polish licence, good for them, but at least we're doing what's best for us and trying to get some benefit.

Riders are self employed and look for the best deals to suit themselves just like any other self employed person…Lambert lives in Poland with a Polish partner and Polish born child…he has every right to ride there and not ride in England …if Britain choose not to pick him for the Speedway of Nations then that’s their choice but there is no way they would ever be able to stop him racing in Poland and in the GP
