Is there even a provision for a ban in the regs anyway? Or a points deduction or any redress other than a fine for that matter.

it wasnt the move itself - it was one you would expect from many a rider although Nicki has a special knack for it. It was the total disregard for a fellow riders well being after the incident,the cowardly kick and speed off and the total lack of any decency to accept his fault in the pits with the sneering goading added to boot. As per my first comment - what a tosser. All that said I agree its far from all bad for sport. The GPs will miss him when hes gone although few fellow riders will.

Separated at birth - Nicki P and Uraguays right back. wink

and quite possibily they would be right on both counts........but the bit on the brown stuff was as good as anything you will see over the next 4 weeks on the green stuff.

probably Youtube by now.

Not acceptable IMO. Best wishes to Kyle.

Super pass by Tai. Top night of Speedway all round bar the shameful Nicki.

What a tosser!

If the rest of the night is like heat 1 then this is gonna be a classic!

one has to be r/r though under current rules.6 would be a decent effort though! Could happen in the EL. Leicester will come close in the next couple of weeks.

When meetings drag out it can be a pain in the backside. If its cold and damp then it can be unpleasant and you can understand people getting peeved with it. However on a balmy summers evening surely its no bad thing anyway. Relax, chat with your mates and enjoy it. And at the end of the little siesta you have more Speedway to enjoy - happy days!!

you beat me to it!! The first one could be Nicki v Greg (or anyone that gets in his way) , the third one could be the inspection of Smolinskis ignition system.

They are waiting to face the winners of Sheff/Berwick in the QF. Sheff leg has been rained off three times so far!! Newcastle are waiting for the winners of Rye/Glasgow for the other QF. Then the semi from the winner of each those. Looks like a late October final again for whoever gets there!!

Where there is a big difference and why I would agree with Arson on this one is the way it has been implemented. The American sports are a long term plan on a rotational basis and properly formulated so that in time the additional fixtures will be an equal number against all sides from the other divisions/conferences. The Speedway set up is an ad hoc possible 1 season idea brought in when it looked like the league may be a team short. IF it continues next year then Id be 99% sure that my Witches side will have extra fixtures against Rye and Boro again rather than a rotation to include Edinburgh and Glasgow for example. Therefore 'only Speedway' is correct IMO

but Edinburgh in the semi final if you do make it through.

very much still in it.

Somehow managed to miss the semi split.Didnt think that the QFs had been paired up. From the teams left you would certainly pick Plymouth if you were given the option so good news. They are a hot n cold side though - when they are good they can be very good but equally can be very poor.Can take nothing for granted but the Witches should expect to win through to the final.

Is it Plymouth?? The BSPA site doesn't show a semi final draw.

Excellent performance and very encouraging looking forward. Well done to all the boys.

Thank you and good night!! only 4 heats out.

I expect us to go through but I dont presume it will be comfortable.

He is due 10 points. Scores for each round 0 2 4 6 and then 8 in the qualifier. What are the bookies giving for him at 10?

3 changes so very different. Worrall Schramm and R-R out. Vissing Morten and Greaves in. Worrall scored 4 R-R 5 and Schramm 1 last time.

would be very nice. Has there been a distinct advantage for 1&3 or 2&4 at OTA this year? Is winning the toss likely to have any impact?

I agree SB its definitely not all over. Hopefully it will be by about heat 8.
