Wouldn't a cup final against Sheffield be preferable?

Although the Polish speedway press does tend to run with things that don't meet conventional journalistic standards, so hopefully it's not true.

Yes I live in the real world and understand how the legal system operates.

Yes please

The decision was presumably made by the BSPL to do a reverse ferret in the face of the threat of (potentially expensive) legal action.

But Berntzon v Zmarzlik or Laguta v Kasprzak turned out not to be unpredictable in 2021. They met 44 times in the series and Bart and Artem won all 44 encounters.

All the evidence is that BSF opinion on guests ranges from 'necessary evil' to outright opposition. I can see no love for them.

A lawyer hired by Belle Vue is not an independent opinion. I'm pretty sure the BSPL could hire a lawyer and get a counterbalancing opinion. Without going to court what Belle Vue are waving about remains just an opinion. Unless there is a judgement in a court of law (and I have seen no suggestion that there is) the legal position remains unresolved. You are the one relying on opinion, and that is a fact.

Belle Vue have not been proved right. All that happened is that they hired a lawyer to run rings round the BSPA (and not I should imagine a difficult task) and they backed down.

The very obvious difference is that the Woffinden team change was entirely within the rules s they were at the time whereas the Lambert one took place under a rulebook that supposedly was written to prevent such changes.

But a good opportunity for Aces riders to lower their season end green sheets.

If you want the GP series to be the best riders in the world then this has to be the correct set of riders. [Pending the reintroduction of Laguta and Sayfutdinov ] Creative choices for the reserve list.

They had the misfortune to be not very good.

Poole- Plymouth is often billed as a derby match - 118 mile drive taking 2½ hours! Edit: I see foreverblue beat me to it.

Until the Jubilee Trophy Final the following week (or possibly early November)

But last time the Lions went up midweek crowds were pretty gash, so it strikes me as a bit of a risk.

I am unaware of any legal judgement to that effect. BV simply threatened legal action and the BSPL caved in. That said it shouldn't be difficult for a decent lawyer to run rings round the BSPL even when they are on solid ground (as I believe they are in this case).

Sounds like the play-off final could be 29th and 30th if Leicester and Mildenhall get thru semis.

Yes you can have a guest but as Edwards and Jenkins are the only viable options r/r is a much better bet.

He's already dropped 0.82 off his GSA making him a good bet for next season.

I presume that ranking Bewley 6th and Dudek 7th has saved us 6 pages of outrage about the lack of a run-off. Had it been the other way round I can't imagine many on here being happy with the outcome. (And I confess this was a rule change that passed me by, and as I was watching an hour after the event I was avoiding all the helpful posts on here that would have clarified matters for me. The failure of the commentators to give any meaningful information about the climax was pretty poor)

Only in your little universe. Belle Vue are as good as in the final. Sheffield still have to beat Wolves BV combined GSA (Inc RS) 46.48 Sheffield 42.49 BV beat Sheffield 181-179 when they met in the league Against that Sheffield finished above Aces in the league, but in doing so scored 3 race points per match less The only thing that points towards a Sheffield win is Fricke's absence, and yes how BV cope with that will be a significant factor in determining the outcome, but at present Aces remain favourites to win.

There is a significant difference between saying I can't ride beforehand (be it work, wedding, or holiday commitment) and accepting a booking and not turning up.

Not to mention Chilton Foliat
