British Semi Finals 2016

Kennett and King looking like wild cards if main riders make the final on Sunday

Wouldn't it have made sense for those organising it to have put King in tonight's Semi and Harris in Sunday's as they knew King already had a GP qualifier meeting on the date they gave him and Harris has the GP tomorrow so is having to travel there tomorrow morning.

 

Very poor planning. It would be very unfair on King if he didn't get a wildcard due to no fault of his own.

A brilliant meeting on a cold night. Congratulations to all the riders in the line-up for mixing it in virtually every heat. Also hats-off to the ref and officials for running 21 races in 1hr 45 mins. The video of the meeting is a must.

 

Give me a shout EC if there was footage would love a DVD.

No way Kennett should get a wild card what about Bates or someone else younger in the Glasgow semi.?

Absolutely brilliant meeting, can't remember a bad race and Heat 13 with Jason Garrity, Rob Lambert and Bomber Harris was epic. Well run meeting in quick time which was appreciated in the freezing weather. Just a shame there weren't a few more there to watch it.

Plenty from Sheffield there !

 

Tigers riders were very impressive tonight. Next Sunday will be tough for the Scorpions (whoever is in the side then).

Good job there were a few from Sheffield or there would have been more people in the pits than on the terraces.

I agree. Why should Kennett get a wildcard? He wasn't even near qualifying. Depending on what happens in the other meeting, I would give it to Bates as he only just missed out due to the run off.

Bates - nah I'd give it to the British Under 21 Champion...

 

... Oh! That's Josh Bates.

Not a sunny Scuni last night but what the weather didnt produce ALL the riders did. TO the fans that didnt go they mist a "super night of speedway". Rob G and his team MUST be congratulated on the very slick running of the meeting. Please,Pleast Mr control board can we have it again next year. The 4s, Pairs and the riders championship seem to be now at the same 3 tracks every year so why cant one of the British Championship semi-finals come to Scunthorpe again???

Presumably as a shared event its the money that will decide if Scunny get the meeting again. If the turnout was as poor as some have suggested surely it will be elsewhere next year?

Seemed a decent turnout to me.

 

All the best

Rob

 

any reason why you are so anti-Scunthorpe?

not anti at all - just call it as i see it.

 

Was only going by a couple of posts that said it was a shame there were not more there to see it.

 

Edit

Is Scotty getting himself in the Glasgow mindset tonight ready for the British semi?

Suit jacket with just his vest underneath. (sorry does that make me anti Glasgow? wink)
