Marksman Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Already getting excited about the Cardiff weekend?, just 8 weeks to go now and the annual Premier League Pairs once again takes its place on British Speedway's highlight weekend of the season. At the moment looking like the 3 teams to unfortunately miss out on qualification could be Berwick, Rye House and Scunthorpe, with Ipswich next in line. Although still a lot can happen between now and the cut off point. As ever it looks to be a very open meeting and if everyone is able to track their best pair come raceday, the likes of King/Robson, Cook/Masters, Fisher/Bjerre, Barker/Roynon, Proctor/Stead, Grajczonek/Bach and Morris/Allen all form teams of pure racers around a racers track, could actually be the strongest field we have seen for a while at PL Level. Also, for those who are unable to attend, the Sky Sports website now confirms that the meeting will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 OIt wouldn't be rocket science to devise a draw and a KO formula to allow all Teams to have pair at the meeting also with the Fours.For the pairs it would be 2 groups of 4 1 group of 5 making 2x6 races +10 = 22 qualifying races in total 2 semi-finals and a final=total races 25 on the night. Group winners and best runner-up to semi`s-best runner up would have to be decided on points gained against rides % Downside of this is that at present all teams are guaranteed the same minimum of rides ie wages -something which couldn`t happen if all teams ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Don't think Rene will be part of our team for it, Josh and Ricky will be our two. I think the winners will come from either Cook and Masters, Morris and Allen or Stead and Proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Thing is when is the cut off and would new riders such as King, Klindt, Proctor and Roynon be allowed to participate? 18.4 PREMIER LEAGUE BEST PAIRS 18.4.1 Qualification will be determined by the BSPA and make the Riding Order draw. So looks like the rules are as ambiguous as ever! Edited May 14, 2014 by 2ndbendbeerhut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Was always my favourite meeting along with fours at Peterborough, yes my team are currently rubbish but i wont attend the pairs again until all teams are represented, not rocket science. So instead of a costly weekend it's a quick punt up and down the M4 and less money in the BSPA coffers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoobie Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Unfortunetely bach's form has been very patchy this season so can't see him making this meeting, shame really Koz think he would suit Somerset better than ricky wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thought you could pick 2 from your top 3?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit should have got my Arson in gear quicker(see what I did there !!!!) Edited June 6, 2014 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 BSPA shooting themselves in the foot again?! How many people going to Cardiff would have made plans to include this if their team was announced as riding? But as noone knows then might as well make it a Sat/Sun trip instead?
