Just over 4 weeks to go. First names include Dan Bewley, Freddie Lindgren, Max Fricke and Luke Becker. https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/bewley-lindgren-fricke-lead-peter-craven-line-up

Does anyone remember Timmy Joe Sheppard, a young American who completed just one meeting for Hackney Hawkes in 1975. He was the subject of an earlier thread on this forum: https://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/51331-timmy-joe-sheppard/

I thought it an odd coincidence as well.

Injuries mainly. Those I know of include Dan Thompson, Jordan Jenkins, Alfie Bowtell, Connor Coles plus Steve Boxall suspended.

Programme started nearly 15 minutes ago. So far we've heard from Abi and Scott but no sign of Tatum or Louis yet.

So we are now left with strange situation whereby a rider whose club is not in the play-offs but can guest for more than one club that is. However, if a guest rising star is required he has to be selected from the list as long as he is not already in current 1 -7.

Emil 10.10 Jason 9.12 Danny 7.05 (2.5% reduction) Keynan 4.00 An other 5.00 Dan 3.61 (2.5% reduction) Total 38.88

Seems a strange state of affairs the a rider who has already turned out as a guest for one team in the semis (Ipswich) can now ride for another in the final. I can't find anything in the regs. to prevent this happening though.

Exactly. It could be, for example, that he has planned his schedule this week and now anticipates the fixture being re-run on Friday meaning a rush to get to Poland for Saturday. He could even have booked a flight for Friday.

Is anyone actually able to watch this on viaplay at the moment because it doesn't appear on their schedule at all now.

Viaplay transmission seems to have disappeared altogether now.

Has meeting been delayed? Viaplay showing ice hockey.

Unlikely I would have thought. Scott Nicholls is due be on duty with Discovery+ for the Torun SGP.

Charles's scores at Foxhall this season 9 and 8. RR last Thursday 3.

Jason made the final but his bike packed up just after he had taken the lead. Slight scare as he fell on the first attempt to run it but reinstated - 1st bend bunching.

Jordan Jenkins and Henry Atkins were/are in the line-up.

NDLRC now postponed due to poor weather forecast.

The exact ruling is here:- 012.4.2 Guest Rider (G) c) the guest must be in a current team declaration and have an established MA. The MA must be the same or lower than that of the absent rider.

Yes, but then we have this: 012.2 Final paragraph:- A rider taken out of a team, Premiership or Championship, through injury, cannot be re-introduced in that team within 28 days.

Robert Lambert was sensational at 15 although he was quite experienced by then having been able to participate in Germany from a younger age. Sometimes, though, riders who look equally good , for whatever reason, fail to progress. Those who spring to mind include David Howe, Edward Kennett, Steve Boxall and, more recently, Kyle Bickley (twice 125cc World Champion).

Just 9 hours to go and no thread. Leicester are at full strength but there are changes to the Tigers' line up. Musielak is riding in Poland, Jason Edwards comes in place of injured Gilkes and RR for Ellis. A 'must win' for both sides. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Craig Cook, Richard Lawson, Justin Sedgmen, Richie Worrall, Jake Allen, Drew Kemp.SHEFFIELD: Ryan Douglas, Adam Ellis R/R, Josh Pickering, Kyle Howarth, Tai Woffinden, Lewis Kerr, Jason Edwards.

The 2002 commonwealth games was held at a purpose built stadium in Manchester then subsequently bought by Manchester City after they moved from their old Maine Road home.

Yes, but no better on his visits with Peterborough than Bomber achieved with the Lions.

Yes and to take effect 7 days after his qualifying meeting, this Saturday after the visit to Leicester, weather permitting.

If there are changes they'll have to get on with it. The deadline is next Monday.
