  1. I think Thursdays were introduced when Sweden had 9 teams riding so, now that they are back to 8 Thursday racing might be considered unnecessary.
  2. I have just discovered that the second leg of the Swedish League final is on Wednesday which means Glasgow will need a guest or RR for the visit to Poole.
  3. It is amazing. The league campaign started at the beginning of May leaving 21 Thursdays available for Sheffield. The SON took care of one but they were scheduled to ride two of them on a Monday including this week's postponement leaving 12 Thursdays free. On four Thursdays they rode away and a further three were used for the Pairs. There were another three which were postponed due to the weather/stadium unavailability leaving all of two, one of which was used for a league cup match brought forward from April owing to an earlier postponement leaving one Thursday unused.
  4. You would think so. The league campaign started at the beginning of May leaving 21 weeks to fit in 10 home meetings. Easy isn't it or is it? I have been checking the Sheffield fixture list. Three Thursdays had been set aside to accommodate the Pairs and a similar number when they were riding away. This leaves five, three of which have been postponed and at least one of the remaining there was no opposition available.
  5. This is an extremely awkward situation. It is to shorter notice to cancel I imagine but it is highly unlikely many involved will have any appetite for this match now.
  6. Only a guess, but his CL average may be deemed the most recent as he doesn't have a PL team place.
  7. There is another thread for the British Final running in the Premiership section. Someone has posted to say the 'Experience Day' has been brought forward a week. Hope everyone involved knows.
  8. This could make things awkward. What happens now: https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/belle-vue-experience
  9. Still showing King's Lynn v Belle Vue on Eurosport's TV schedule.
  10. It could be run on a Sunday in October. By the 25th September all Polish league fixtures, play-off and final will have finished.
  11. That's who I got the info from originally but he has revised it this morning.
  12. Tungate isn't available anyway. He is on Swedish league duty for Masarna.
  13. The Champìonship Pairs is on rhe Friday before Cardiff at Oxford
  14. Or keep the final before he Cardiff GP then have a run-off over 3 heats between the winner of this year's re-staging and the winner in 2023.
  15. It didn't take that long. About 30 minutes elapsed between the end of heat 12 and Steve Brandon's announcement.
  16. Also, Jason is a rider who likes to keep busy. In Sweden he would have a minimum of 14 fixtures plus play-offs etc. Here he gets a minimum of 29 plus any guest appearences that might be in the offing. Getting back to NKI, here's a plan that could work. He drops out of the Danish league for the 29th June fixture as suggested and stays with the Stars throughout July. He can then re-join Ebsjerg from the 3rd August whereby King's Lynn can claim a 28 day facility covering them until the end of August. The regular season in Denmark is over by 24th August so if Ebsjerg fail to reach the play-offs (they are currently 3rd) he could come back to King's Lynn. However, if they do, it frees up other riders of clubs whose competition is over or the play-offs can be covered by Woffinden.
  17. It is strange that the PZM should have taken this decision now. Ebsjerg have one more meeting in June(29th) and I am sure Tai Woffinden, with whom he shares the 'A' position, will be keen to take that fixture in preparation for the SON. Then, Denmark have a break in league fixtures until 3rd August. An option could be for NKI to withdraw from riding in Denmark for now and see what the situation is then.
