Two semi-finals, one with 6 teams over 12 heats and one with 5 teams and 10 heats, with a 12 heat final (I believe it's the top two from each semi going through). Other thread here: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/86471-championship-4s-redcar-july-1st/

Not strictly true. A snapped chain can cause a rider to crash/fall, also a front wheel collapse and snapped handlebars too.

Carb problems, actually. He was changing the carb off the second bike to put onto his first bike, before being told that he was being replaced in heat 12.

Sorry, but we are traditionalist at Brough Park... we race on shale....!!

Cruising... That's on a cruise... You know... like you do... LOL

Oops!! So it is!!! Corrected!!

No Tero so it's R/R and Robbo goes back to number 5. Also no George English! Also 'old' uprights in the second half (inc Jonny Swales, Jade Mudgeway and Dave Jamieson!). http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100895

The programme has Willie Dish as Referee, but I didn't hear if that had been changed.

Pretty much a spot on assessment, although I might not 100% agree with you on your last comment. Had it not been for Tero's puncture whilst leading heat 15, we would have got a point that we deserved. As far as the Ludvig arguments are concerned, he is what he is. Accept it, move on.

Heat times (well most of them!!): Ht 1. 72.6. Ht 2. 76.2. Ht 3. Awarded. Ht 4. 75.7. Ht 5. 70.7. Ht 6. sorry, didn't get that one!!

As I have said on the Peterborough 2018 thread - it depends on what his foreign Longtrack/Grasstrack commitments are.

Can anyone confirm that Matej Kus has signed? (As quoted by bringbackhalifax).

It would also depend on his Longtrack/Grasstrack commitments abroad and how many potential Peterborough fixtures he would miss.

Which is what I hinted at earlier. If people care to remember, we used two guests at home to Sheffield (Michael Palm Toft and Lewi Kerr), making the Ipswich match irrelevant to the 28 day facility. The BSPA must have given the 28 day facility after the Ipswich match.

I think you will find Dandelion is a her!!

So, how come when the team for the home meeting against Berwick was sent - 1) the BSPA didn't say 'no' to the line-up 2) Berwick speedway didn't protest against the line-up and 3) the Referee for Sunday's meeting agreed that the line-up was OK.

According to the dates calculator below, Sun 6 May 2018 to Sun 3 June 2018 is 28 days.... https://planetcalc.com/274/?license=1

I doubt that an ex-Management Committee member would go against anything laid down by the BSPA, so it was OK to use R/R for Lewis at Berwick and a guest for him at Brough on Sunday. It all comes down to what date Newcastle were awarded the facility from, rather than going by when it was announced on Twitter, or when another team signed a rider, etc.

28 day facility for Lewis Rose ended tonight, so we either 1) have to sign someone for Scunthorpe on Friday, or, 2) it will be an NL guest. Stuart Robson hopes to be back soon.

We haven't been promised anything, so far, only hope.

So, what he needs is 1) Bikes, 2) a mechanic and 3) someone to carry his kit bag, etc.
