... but, except for Edinburgh, nobody else could be arsed

No news...

Less than 24 hours to go... no news of any kind 🤷‍♂️

I've just tested my setup from last year as suggested above and it still appears to work 👍🏻 That's using the TvBro Web browser on the android tv platform.

Birmingham because they had a completely new team in 2024 & 2025 and there's so few meetings these days can you really say that they're is a home track advantage? There will be for your stalwarts Bewley, Kurtz, Holders etc.

Yes, 1 tac-sub per team, I assume it's the same for the non-knockout league and play offs What about a team with no home advantage like Birmingham for the last couple of years (completely new teams) and Northamptoningham this year?

Didn't he do the same with Leicester?

Personally I'd keep them, in fact I'd increase them, they can keep matches alive... not double points though!

Either... or both, amazing that in 2026, in the information age, information is so difficult to come by in Speedway

Must have been the bikes that did the damage then rather than the bags lifting? I wonder if these crashes are ever reviewed by anybody afterwards for safety purposes?

Not seen the crash... were the airbags involved?

Any news on Thomsen?

If I were you I'd add war cover 😂

Wasn't that double points though? ... and also why is that okay in league meetings with aggregate bonus points over 2 legs but not a semi and final?

SCB must read the forum 😂

No, they haven't been... and again, I don't know why... it must just be for 5h1ts and giggles 🤷‍♂️

... now the pedantry is out of the way, can anybody come up with a reasonably rational explanation as to why tactical substitutes are allowed in the group stages but not the knock out stages?

"almost never" in Speedway! 👍

Okay... So the rules change mid-competion... that really makes no sense at all... "mostly" in Speedway! 👍😁

Things like this are normally announced on the SCB website... like when riders were threatened against riding NORA by the withholding of SRBF grants, yet SRBF grants are paid out for track equipment and if your son is in hospital. Once again the SCB showing itself to be not fit for purpose! https://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.221

Okay, I get that, I think the VAR is a matter of cost isn't it? The cost of providing VAR facilities at every club in the earlier rounds and the replays to ease potential fixture congestion... I'm not saying it's right, I don't think it is but there is an explainable logic around it, same for group to knock out. I can't fathom why tac-subs are okay in the group stage but not in the knock-out stage though, can you help me out?

What are they? At least that is still a knock-out competition... at the moment

So the rules change mid-competion... that really makes no sense at all... only in Speedway!
