  1. Redcar team news. Tom Woolley out - Josh Embleton guests. http://www.redcar-speedway.com/2019/09/15/team-news-update-10/
  2. I would say that it's never ideal to run a double header. Don't forget Glasgow are in the Play-offs, so need to keep at least one - maybe two weeks - free for those matches. I would also suggest that the Glasgow promotion can probably take the hit on the potential losses they will endure, unlike most other clubs.
  3. TBH it's a bit of a gamble what ever the format, as individual meetings and challenge matches (which a three team tournament would effectively be) aren't as well attended as "proper" matches. Hopefully the riders that are coming will attract the crowd and we are entertained on the day, which is what it's really all about.
  4. Matty W should return after guesting for Sheffield at Edinburgh on Friday, providing there are no after effects. TJ misses due to his dislocated shoulder he suffered on Wednesday at Sheffield. Tero Aarnio guests.
  5. That's two league matches, which they arranged to get them in before the cut-off. We are running against Redcar in the league on Sunday - before the cut-off, as I'm pretty sure the BSPA/SCB (whichever!) wanted to happen. Why run a Cup Final six weeks before the season has ended "just to get it in" as a Double Header, when it's been proven in the past at Newcastle, Double Headers are a money loss, as described by Arthur Cross above - and we can have another meeting to look forward to?
  6. Some might suggest we run a Double Header that day then......
  7. I've got heats 1-13 (except heat 5) if that helps! heat 1 63.7. heat 2 64.5. heat 3 64.4. heat 4 65.3. heat 6 65.4. heat 7 65.0. heat 8 64.9. heat 9 65.0. heat 10 64.7. heat 11 64.6. heat 12 64.7. heat 13 64.9.
  8. Please note earlier start time of 7pm. This is due to predicted bad weather for later in the night.
  9. We don't get ANY of the bar takings. What increased takings at the track shop ( a few extra cups of tea?). Would get more neutral fans wanting to pay £17 for a cup final, than say £30 for a double header including a meeting they have no interest in (in my opinion). It makes no sense whatsoever (again, in my opinion).
  10. One set of fans from both clubs and two lots of points money to pay out, though.
  11. TBH I'd much rather have all the finals at the end of the season - apart from the Shield - rather like they do in footy (League Cup Final March-ish, FA & Euro Cups right at the end) as it should make for an exiting end to the season. Having said that, all the gaps (racing every fortnight) up until July wasn't the brightest idea in my opinion. I blame the fixture compilers
  12. Redcar vs Eastbourne Semi is this Fri & Sat (weather permitting!)
  13. Which is why I posted the Tweet from Sheffield saying same yesterday !
  14. Depends when they can arrange the Cup Final for. It will then be arranged around that.
  15. And have half the riders pulling out because they are in Poland.....
  16. It never does. I seriously can't remember the PLRC having proper race jackets - ever.
  17. craigcook111 Riding for the stars tonight, hopefully we’ve figured out the bike problems after a very frustrating evening last night
  18. I think that's down to the Stadium owners, rather than Sheffield Speedway. It happened a few years ago and Neil Machin (the then promoter at Sheffield) came out to sort it out.
  19. But not last night (don't know how many others you've missed recently) His home points recently and the fact he was on the pace last night suggests yes he is.
