They could certainly.But it won't matter a jot for who they get in the play offs as the position in the league after tonight will determine that.

If they can't run against the play offs then the match against Lynn must surely have to be on an off night.If not that only leaves 17th and 20th of October to get it completed.

I put this on the Lynn thread yesterday wondering why the first leg of the final against Lynn hasn't been pencilled in for next Thursday as they both don't have a meeting.Could be at Sheffield next Thursday and whenever at Lynn as they can have the track any day of the week bar stock car meetings providing all riders are available of course.At the end of the day though we shouldn't even be talking about squeezing in meetings at the end of the season when we have so few anyway.

Your doing them an injustice,they have to fit in 10 away meetings in those 52 days as well.Now i totally understand why they couldn't fit in all the fixtures.20 meetings in 52 days available is totally impossible

But they shouldn't have to move the cut off point.I think by the 22nd of September all teams have had adequate amount of time to get all league fixtures done.We have had one of the driest Summers in years and yet there is still league fixtures to fit in.Shambolic is the word that springs to mind.Too many weeks have gone by with no fixtures.especially during the Summer holidays.There is no excuse for this to happen.

It is shocking to get to this stage of the season and they can't complete the league meetings by the cut off date to determine the final league positions.An even worse case scenario would have been if the team in 5th had a chance of getting into 4th but didnt complete their meetings in time.Things need to change going forward,will they i am unsure on that.Too much self interest in our sport still.

Ipswich are at home next Thursday in their play-off match which leaves Sheffield free as far as my calculations go.Those two cannot face each other so surely there is one date that can be used.

Kinsley at reserve ffs.I would rather see them go with a lad who could have a chance to go a little further in the sport.Kinsley has had his chance and we can all see he has got to his limit.Why not give Thompson a go from Sheffield he isn't needed there Thursday or even Jenkins,Peterborough are not riding Thursday. It is said in the write up that they hopeful to confirm the dates for the final on Thursday,but it does say next month.

They could,but as Sheffield could finish top or indeed 2nd or 3rd the dates won't be known until Thursday,although their play off match at home is already sorted.

I wouldn't think we will get an announcement on the outstanding Belle Vue and Sheffield meetings until the league positions are decided.Then we will know what dates are available.The cut off is Thursday so we will know after this when Belle Vue and Sheffield will be available.I would think/hope they have some provisional dates sorted.

Give over,i would like to have seen the top 3 Brits in the final.Just because they don't ride here shouldn't mean they can't ride in the British final.You have your top riders in the final if you can.

Not a Doyle fan at all,but tuners have ripped off many riders over the years.I see a bill for a service once many seasons ago,it made my eyes water.

Should be excluded under the 2 minutes surely. Really don't think they should have done the interview etc before the semi final 2.The other 3 riders have plenty to race for.

That's because he is

I haven't seen anything about requesting sporting events not to go ahead,only that they may want to alter their timings Taken from the BBC website: However, government guidance says if sporting fixture or events are planned for the day of the funeral, organisations may want to adjust the timings.

Most riders seem to look at the magnets.Maybe they feel if the tapes flicker in the wind that could set them off too.I don't really know,never been a rider.

Hopefully get some of the usual Vojens rain,it will at least give us something to talk about.

No,because they need at least a weeks notice to be able to get the air fence up

What average do you think he would start on if some team in the PL was silly enough to sign him next season.I think it would be the higher one.

Oh right,so Sheffield have made changes on 3 separate occasions.You were meant to be only allowed 2 lots of changes.Oh well it the season of anything goes.

That's the point I am making.Sedgemen was an injury replacement for Allen,therefore Allen should come back into the side.If he doesn't then yet another rule has been broken this season.A team was only allowed to make changes on 2 separate occasions,not 3.

Sedgemen still riding.How long has Allen been back now?

As I have said,I don't like the idea of a super heat to decide points.For instance in this case Ipswich gain the 3 points the same as a team that have actually deserved 3 points and gone to Peterborough and won. Does anyone really think a team who draws 45-45 should get the same amount of league points as a team that has won away 42-48.If some say yes I think they are telling porkies.

I like change if i think it is for the better.They changed the points awarded to teams when gaining a draw or losing by 6 or less,or winning away gaining more points if you win by more than 6.I think the points system is probably one of the best things they have introduced for years,then they spoil it this year with the draw superheat imo.

God they are wetting themselves over this superheat.Imo it doesn't do anything more for the sport at all.
