USA to change their championship to a single meeting in February.... probably solved?

But they want something for nothing.... A major prize in draw is only worth 2 tickets...

So the missing 3 aren't missing then. ...? The promotion were only thinking about the vast amount of travelling fans!

Glasgow on the 4th is 3 weeks away! Doesn't leave much time for semi finals and then finals....

Looks like it's on the bspa site so going ahead on the 17th..... any team news? Where the "missing 3"? For once looks like EL have got the play offs right.

But why are the riders missing when it's 'play off week'?

Has this season finished yet? Witches promotion haven't said anything yet via their website.....

Their opponents have already announced the first leg of that tie will take place at their Owlerton base on Thursday (September 17), but Panthers chiefs stress they have not agreed and will not agree to race on that date. They face being without three riders - Barker, Thomsen and Emil Grondal - due to overseas commitments in addition to captain Ulrich Ostergaard, who recently won the Premier League Riders’ Championship at the track, being ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. Joint team boss Carl Johnson said: “We have made our position known regarding the staging of the first leg and we hope there will be further developments in the early part of this week. “We have three riders away due to other meetings on the continent and we do not feel we should be forced to ride without our best team. “We have worked so hard for six months to get into this position and we do not want that to go to waste due to having to race without important riders. But why should Sheffield not ride on their normal race night as Peterborough are missing riders? Where are the missing 3 riding?

Seems like Thomson didn't like the race with Davies, Davies saw nothing wrong so pulled Thomson's cut out.... to which Thomson took offence so took a swing?

It's fine.... We in the PL to.build for the future and then dominate in the EL with riders we have brought through and made good....

Game over....

After been given some hope... nice to be put out of misery.

me too!

Crowd was lower than normal but was expected as... 1. Was a 'nothing' meeting really. Not expected to pull back the 22 points. 2. Season tickets not valid 3. Kids back to school and last week dragged on for ages. No meeting next week as play offs pencilled in.. but cut off was moved back. See ya in march then..... 5 months away.. think it be a long winter with many changes....

Think it will go the way of any Witches season... give us hope but ultimatley fail at the final hurdle!

Source? or should that be sauce? Korma?

Id accept the same as last week.... the result!

King riding?

Maybe the action will be better there tonight.....

Where's Danny?

But the majority have been brought up racing without them so are not used to them. Would it take a while to get the right one and have it feel ok though? Seem to remember that when Emil started with them he had to modify his to get it feeling right.? Do riders really ride harder now as they have the "protection" of an airfence? probably....

But do promoters realy care about the future of British speedway... thought it was just their clubs that concern them?

Making it up as they go along......

If riders had to keep their starting ave until they have achieved it then the likes of Konopka wouldn't be anywhere near the pl.... But would gives the Brits a better chance
