  1. But they shouldn't have to move the cut off point.I think by the 22nd of September all teams have had adequate amount of time to get all league fixtures done.We have had one of the driest Summers in years and yet there is still league fixtures to fit in.Shambolic is the word that springs to mind.Too many weeks have gone by with no fixtures.especially during the Summer holidays.There is no excuse for this to happen.

  4. To be fair to them... Since the 28th of March when the Premiership ran the first League Cup match... There have only been 54 days available on a Monday and a Thursday to complete 10 home meetings... In fact, only 52 when you take the SON break out... What chance did they have? Expecting them to run 10 meetings over this time would be asking far too much especially as every rider in the league would be available every single Monday and Thursday due to priority race nights... We will be expecting them to invent fire next....

  5. The most sensible thing to do for credibilitys sake is Sheffield forfit against Ipswich and give them 4 points. This should be made a rule,,,, I bet teams would re arrange their fixtures better in future if that was the case

  8. At least Poole don't have Danes fencing/blocking their own guest team mates eg Flint!! Or failing to turn up after 'aggravating his injury' no doubt whilst doing commentary for Danish TV!!!? Still at least it saved Plymouth the air fares!!! Suck it up Buttercup!

  9. Totally shambolic and is part of the reason I (and many hundreds perhaps thousands) no longer attend The "top" league is not even sufficiently organised to get what is about half the traditional number of fixtures run Meetings that have a material impact on finishing positions and therefore the pairings for the league title deciding play offs not being run within cut off timescales is simply unacceptable at any level of sport let alone a fully professional top level

  12. Yes but until last night you could argue we had a better team last season apart from the the Cooks who were awful at Leicester last season. They have improved alot. Incredible performance from Ben.

  13. We’ve 6 teams in the league for Christ sake, how we’ve got to the stage where there are outstanding fixtures to squeeze in when we’ve had between April and mid September is ridiculous but here we are. To ride play off meetings with pairings that could up being the wrong pairings is embarrassing.

  14. Tonight could be fun at Sheffield 1, if Sheffield want us in semi they will want to loose tonight. 2, if we want Ipswich in semi we want to loose tonight. Say if that’s what both teams want could be an interesting 15 races. Slowest times wins lol

  15. Sadly nothing on the meeting for Wolves dead rubber for them - will help for average reduction as well - protecting there selfs for the play offs - im sure come the semis they will be a very different side . But we’ll done the Stars on there win

  17. Picture the scene... The meeting goes ahead in the rain, and heat 9 has just been raced. Riders come out for heat 10 where we all know once completed the meeting will be abandoned and result will stand with Sheffield leading. Then the air fence deflates all by itself... the highly trained Sheffield track staff are unable to fix the issue, the match has to be abandoned without a result as the curfew hits... If Carlsberg did speedway....

  21. Wembley hosted league racing in 5 decades (1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 70's), Odsal in 6 decades (40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's).

  22. It's quite amazing really when you consider the long hot summer we've had and only 6 teams in the league and here we are struggling to fulfill all the fixtures.

  25. He's no Nicki P tbf! Still think they were just going for same bit of track. But I will let you have it if you can find the other examples of him 'fencing opposition riders most weeks, esp Danes.' I mean if it happens most weeks can't be hard to find can it?

  27. Not sure the move to the hounds was in his thoughts at all. Never heard any suggestion of that before. The rest I agree with though. For the six years he ran it, he upgraded the track and stadium and always invested heavily in the team (not always successfully). The end was always inevitable given the Bradford City fire and the scale of redevelopment required of a wooden stadium, the value of the land in Manchester and the relatively limited income potential of running a speedway/stock car venue. I also understand he had a divorce from Pat to pay for? Hyde Road, Plough Lane and Brandon are the nearest the sport has had to iconic venues....and they were all allowed to slip into the wrong hands and outside of British Speedway's control. The sport never has had any vision or long-term coherent strategy....hence its lost its most cherished assets. It's still a miracle the new Belle Vue got built. Chris Morton and David Gordon deserve a medal for that at the very least.

  29. Wolves were comprehensively beaten earlier in the season when they all needed points,we got 55 on that occasion. While people keep saying it was a dead rubber for Wolves,the same could be said about it being a dead rubber for Lynn too.This thing about average reduction doesn't go on too much now like it may have done in years gone by,promotors can't afford it.Plus riders don't think like that,they think of their pocket first.

  34. as a Redcar fan, kind of dreading the final. Hope we at least get the home leg 1st and try for a 4/6 point win followed by a 30 pt loss away. Poole fans must be quaking in their boots, not

  35. Well done to the Poole pirates. They were simply awesome. What a team they have! My concern for the lions is the mentality of the team...we've took some (not many I know) beatings away from home...soon as it goes bad it's almost like we give up! Like last season at home against Poole they seemly just thrown in the towel. Same in the knock out cup this year and last year. I can't see us winning the the play offs if we just give up ! Sort the mentality out and we will be ok. It's typical of leicester folk though to get abit moody and depressed when things go wrong in all honestly! Heres to Friday and Saturday night ! COYL!

  36. Lions kept it close to heat 6 until Ben Cook catching Howarth on the line in the race of the night. Then BOOM the Pirates went into over drive.

  37. Said at the Chargers meeting, that they will be running teams in Championship and National League on Wednesdays in 2023 Also if Chargers don’t make play offs there will be an individual meeting in October.

  38. I can understand no one being bothered in a meaningless fixture being completed after the cut offs but Sheffield v Ipswich would probably change finishing positions. Bonkers. British speedway tho

  41. Change the record! This has nothing to do with league positions and you know it. You drew at Ashfield and beat them by 12 at home. They had no Brennan in the home match but Sedgmen still got 5. Ruml scored what Kemp would probably get at reserve. Even with Brennan it's not a 12 point swing. You know you're favourites and should beat Glasgow but as ever you wind up everyone on this forum. This forum would be a far better place without you and it's about time the mods did something about it and banned you.
