RobMcCaffery Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) There is a full programme of Polish League Division 1 fixtures on July 10th. Sam Masters at least would be riding over there. Other riders named in the line-up who have ridden in the competition this year are Rohan Tungate, Josh Grajczonek, Claus Vissing, although they are all listed as 'unclassified' in the league's statistics. No riders are involved in that day's German Bundesliga match. Not all of the top two riders per the green sheets have been nominated for the meeting: Workington - Ricky Wells (no.1) Peterborough - Craig Cook (no.1) Plymouth - Brady Kurtz (no.1) Can anyone come up with a line-up over the history of this event (which goes back to 1975) in which every pair consisted of the top two in the averages? It would be fascinating to know. Were all of those that didn't all farces? Riders always withdraw or have other commitments. This time three riders are in the GP and people get their knickers in a twist over it! It's staged the night before the GP for a very good reason - it gets a superb crowd and turns Cardiff into a weekend party.

Craig Cook is deemed ineligible to ride, as he has not raced enough meetings for the Panthers (according to the BSPA). Same might said for Kurtz (not sure).

solrac Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Joke Then don't go then. Cook and Kurtz shouldnt even come into the equation at all. King Lambert and Worrall missing so feel for Newcastle in particular Farcical this meeting is now held when it is. Its a spectacle for the Premier League and now that more and more premier league riders are near the top of the leaderboard in the British Final, then chances are each season 3 or 4 top riders will be missing. Time to get this meeting back to where it belongs. By all means keep it at Somerset but move the date away from the gp Crowd figures are excellent, would be daft to move dates in my opinion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I will have a great night regardless who's riding . It might not be as good as Newport v Glasgow used to be , the night before Cardiff , but it's a cracking night out and an entertaining novelty event . Be even better if Glasgow won it again 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Was going to make my second visit of the year to this meeting, until saw how many top riders missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlakejawa Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 One less in the queue then Old Timer.You obviously prefer to watch the'names'as opposed to racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coomie Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 OThis could be one of the closest pairs ever,hope all stay safe and rebels make it in the end,with no exclusens mucking up the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 yep, few times now we've seen exclusions in semi or final that spoil it as a spectacle - how about unless a rider is excluded for dangerous riding, the rerun should be with a 15m handicap. anyone that decides not to go to this meeting because of a couple of missing riders, it's a shame, but those that go will see a fantastic meeting I've no doubt. the pairs/Cardiff weekend is always about the racing on the Friday, the atmosphere on the Saturday, and as much as I enjoy Cardiff, the racing is so much better at Somerset 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
