Now I hear that the MDL KOC Final part of this meeting is not going to happen....

Mildenhall v Isle of Wight this coming Wednesday, and as King's Lynn are at home to Dudley, I'll have to forgo my rain-off ticket from this afternoon. If Mildenhall reach the final, it has now been confirmed that it will take place on Saturday evening (I can't make that one with my ticket either). The MDL Final is now a one-leg affair at Coventry this Friday. What a chaotic end to the season!

Spot on P1928. The Stoke website is now only advertising the NL matches against Kent Kings and against Mildenhall now. It specifically mentions 30 heats of racing.

Yes - the decision to cut the MDL Final was based on a couple of things. Some unavailability of riders but also that two Stoke riders (Payne & Tedham) were due to appear for the Spitfires having already ridden for the Potters in the NL Double Header. As reseves that could possibly mean 10 rides BEFORE the MDL match where they'd have a further three. I think it was thought this could cause problems and I reckon they're correct there...

Someone has not done their home work Lee Payne is no longer a reserve he is in the main body of the team as Luke Priest has dropped to reserve

The website header never included the MDL meeting heats I can confirm and only ever said 30 heats. I hope that clears this up.

MDL Cup Final is at Stoke this Sunday with Coventry looking at a possible "home" leg on a neutral track !!

 

 

The Stoke match then - rather obviously! - is the first leg. What happens if Coventry are unable to find a neutral track? As it stands when Sunday's match is raced it will leave supporters uncertain if they have watched the MDL Cup Final winners to success or not? Unless it i made clear as to what is happening before Sunday's match gets underway?
