British Final & Semi-finals


Recommended Posts

I see that the Final has been announced for Wolverhampton on Monday 6th June. (Preumably to be on Sky).

 

However only one Semi-Final is listed (Sheffield, Thursday 19th May). Will this be a one-off qualifier with certain riders seeded straight through? Just thinking about Tai's non-qualification for the Final last year. I'm sure that the powers that be don't want a repeat !

its simple

14 teams = 13 home meetings then we split that gives us 7 x2 leagues which then gives us another 6 home meetings.Couple that with challenge a British semi final and the Ben fund and Kenny's meeting then that gives us 23 weeks of premier speedway and probably a couple of national league and then that's up to 25 meetings

Job sorted

 

I dont want to put 2 and 2 together and make 5 but i noticed this post by Rob on the Scunny forum. http://www.scunthorpespeedway.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=questions&action=display&thread=42

I also notice Scunthorpe have a Open date on may 20th (The Day after the Sheffield Semi-final). There is also no GP that weekend or any EL Meetings on that day.

Yes, I noted that quote from Rob, but with Sheffield announcing a sem-final, and their proximity to Scunthopre and no announcement from the Scorpions web site, made me think that maybe Rob had been slightly premature in his comments.

 

:unsure:

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

just a week and a half till the first semi final at scunthorpe and still no word on the line up, come on lets have some news please super 7 organisers.

 

There are a few crocked riders (Woffy, King, Roynon, Smart etc), so I think that the line-up's could be pretty "fluid" ! Probably know next Tuesday when the BSPA Weekly Flyer is released.

Says that Paul Cooper is unattached, thought he was riding for the Scunthorpe/ Sheffield National League.

Not sure but if a rider is unattached to a club, then I don't think that they can compete, Robert Mear was in a similar position last season and was not allowed to compete.

 

Is Bunyan not from New Zealand?

No his girlfriend is a Kiwi.

Neither finished in the top 32 Brits in the averages last season.

Robert Mear made the choice not to compete. Riders can ride even if unattached, Kelvin Tatum rode at Newport in 2001 for a start.

 

 

Why does everything constantly think Jason Bunyan is from New Zealand? He's from Milton Keynes in the UK.
