    https://britishspeedway.co.uk/rowe-motor-oil-premiership/premiership-play-offs-update-3/ Plenty of time to get the souvenir programmes ready - maybe even stage the missing league fixtures 😜

    After the complaints about Kurtz and Bewley on Thursday night, it was good to see Fricke and Holder on Saturday prioritising their Prem SF commitments 😉

    As a result of Thursday night, I am absolutely delighted that Zmarzlik is the World Champ.

    Only one season for the depression to set in 😂

    Very bitter. Thompson ha# been excellent at reserve all season. One ride/point (0.04) separating Ellis and Thompson in the September green sheets, and it upset the balance of the Ipswich team. Having riders who can adapt to conditions is important. Throttle-jockeys can't win everything 😉

    Much better result for the Witches than feared after last Thursday's non-performance. Lemon's obsession with Zischke is fascinating - always seeming to favour him over Mulford, even though the young Brit is just as likely to produce at least one good ride per meeting (and has a higher average).

    Oh my goodness! Very best wishes for a full recovery - once they get you moving, make sure you follow all the physio 👍

    But the point is … the weather. Criticise the BSPA/L and/or TNT Sports as much as you want, but if the weather intervenes there’s not much to be done - except criticise them for forcing the match to go ahead in poor conditions, as happened with Sky and BT Sport (and Sky walked away from their contract, while BT, after rescuing the coverage, weren’t interested in renewing).

    It's got to be TNT Sports that won't move the dates they've got fixed in their schedules. The only thing would be to push the first semi-final back a week, stage the missing fixtures, and run both semis on the same nights (as Sky tried - but I guess that's expensive in terms of doubling-up OB kit and teams). Then, of course, it rains ...

    Agree - it was a repeat of the KL KOC-Up, when they didn’t look like a team. Regarding your final comment - it’s worth pointing out that Sayfutdinov, Doyle, and Brennan conceded heat advantages …
  11. Roger Jacobs
    Will it really make a huge difference? Which is Leicester’s preferred race night? Both teams should get a decent attendance at home …
  12. Roger Jacobs
    I think they’ve mucked-up the balance of the team - it must have been an error to allow Thompson’s average to creep above Ellis’s by 0.04 … no excuses.
  13. Roger Jacobs
    Hi made it in time for heat 3. There was a mysterious electrical fault affecting the ref’s controls, which held things up for another five minutes. This should have been held at KL, then it wouldn’t have started until 8:15 … although, thinking about it, if it were at KL the match would have been called off yesterday …

    But the play-offs used to be in late September, and even ran into October - they've been brought forward to earlier in September. It's obvious they need to complete the league fixtures, but for whatever reason they haven't used some dates - and it can rain any time ...
  15. Roger Jacobs
    People used to complain that the season dragged on to October - even in "the good old days" some seasons ended with cancelled league fixtures. Indeed, when Ipswich won the British League in 1984, Belle Vue vs Swindon wasn't raced (they obviously didn't have drainage as good as the NSS 🤣) - thankfully the Aces were 3 points short of the Witches.
