Any thoughts? Anyone going? And anyone know what time it will start?

Newport are huge favourites for me. If any pairing can beat them then they will deserve the win.

 

For best pairs it has to be 2 riders from the teams top averages therefore Belle Vue and Kings Lynn are not correct!

 

I can't actually find anything in the rules about the NL pairs.

Each club could pick which two to represent them out of their top 3 riders.

 

For me Newport should walk away with group A, but in group B Buxton(edit: no Branford), Dudley & Stoke look strong, with Stoke just nicking it.

 

Does anyone know if it's the group winners to meet in a final, like last year, or top 2 in each group into the semis, like the EL

Surely there's a doubt over Kyle Howarths participation due to his injury that's keeping him from turning out for Belle Vue and Edinburgh at the moment???

Probably the former -- will confirm when I have the details through.

On paper Newport should easily win this but the same was thought last year.

 

Kurtz averaging 10+ whilst Herne is only averaging 8.5, but has been a 10 pointer before.

Not a good weekend weather forcast MM, but lets hope they are wrong,still a few days to go. :wink:

 

 

so do I mate!! Just looked at five different forecasts and hopefully the ones with some light rain in the day and dry in the evening are correct as this will produce a superb race track for the lads in what looks like being a cracker of a meeting looking at the line-up.

Is anyone going to this meeting that would be able to text results to the updates site? If so please pm me here or there.

Thanks

 

 

Main Man- Stuart Parnaby seems to think it's 2 semis plus a final, from the scunny press release: "Once you’ve made the semi-finals it sudden-death and anything can happen”.
