flagrag Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 As far as I know it will be Sheffield next Monday and then Leicester next Wednesday just waiting confirmation that BT are televising both meetings and then more information will be released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) So BT don't televise the BV v Wolves match with a hugely controversial ending that would have made great TV.. A meeting that would decide who qualifies to try and win the Sports biggest domestic prize... But they will show BOTH legs of a contrived bollox farce where teams swap/share riders, that will end up with either (or maybe neither) teams riding in the Premiership next year? Looks like the Sport has a perfect media partner if they see this as credible...? Edited October 2, 2017 by mikebv 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 As I have said before, if they want a team to be relegated from the Premiership, then the play off should be between the bottom two teams in that league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Would be better to have a one-off match at a neutral venue. Long Eaton should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Totally ridiculous any team that wants to come up can and any that want to go down will be allowed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Lakeside have said that they would like to be back in the Premier League next season. Not sure how that works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 So we have a promotion/relegation meeting between two teams int he Premiership and Championship but last week lowly NL Lakeside announced they're intending to just promote themselves two league to the Premiership having relegated themselves two leagues this year? Right oh, thats seems fair, sensible and logical. Meanwhile Damien Bates' two teams will race each other, thats his two teams that share 2 of their 7 riders. So one team will use R/R for a rider who is riding against them. I'm not sure whats worse, this joke of a meeting or Lakeside just doing whatever they please. For feck sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The second leg is now shown on the Lion's website as being on Wednesday, 11th October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman77 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 up that way on the 11th October, enjoyed my last visit, Any news on what they expect fans to pay to watch this meeting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Canny wait for Nigel explaining to the viewing public , once they decide who's riding for who , the make up of both sides . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 One side will have to keep having break downs so the other one doesn't go up or down. Probably both be top league anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 At least we will not have a sun break! According to last week's Star Bjerre & Bates will ride for Sheffield in both legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Guests allowed as riding for their double up team Re Lakeside - I think they hold a top flight licence which is 'on ice' and so as such can automatically ask to return if they wish next year.

mikebv Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Canny wait for Nigel explaining to the viewing public , once they decide who's riding for who , the make up of both sides . Effectively you could have the same rider's different scores in the two legs being the difference between the two teams he rode for.... Meaning he could actually keep himself and his team up... Whilst at the same time keeping himself and his team down... Or... He could get himself and his team promoted.... Whilst delivering himself and his team relegated.... (I think)!?😨 Good luck with that one Nigel....😉😂 Edit: will he shake hands with himself at the end.?😲 Edited October 2, 2017 by mikebv 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The second leg is now shown on the Lion's website as being on Wednesday, 11th October.But strangely no away leg listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 It will be very interesting to see who Leicester can get in for guests for this it will be difficult to cover for Bjerre and Bates and will Pawel P return for this meeting or will he finally get banned for withholding his services then meaning another guest. I would not be surprised if Leicester don't try and get Dan Bewley in for Josh Bates but Lasse will be difficult to cover for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Straightforward promotion/relegation just doesn't work in speedway, what a farce this meeting will be! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 It's easy to see why most normal people think speedway is just a joke sport. What a total farce. One look at this and it's clear to see why it's never going to be taken seriously. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
