How can a rider at a Thursday Championship club sign for a Premiership side also riding half their home meetings on a Thursday?

Peterborough were blocked from signing Cook previously and had to switch race night to do so

I haven't seen the report in the Star yet, but there was always a possibility that the back injury was more serious than anyone anticipated. I hope the injury doesn't bring a premature end to a promising speedway career. JB was always a mercurial talent, so let's hope he bounces back next year and takes up where he left off.

Was Graversen a direct replacement for Josh after the temp 28 day r/r or was a further 28 day injury facility granted?

Truth is, I don't think anyone actually knows. I'm sure all will be revealed when we make our changes.

Looks like Sheffield have tied with Glasgow as the best second place team in the Championship Shield (both on 13 points) but Sheffield have the better points difference of +39 compared to Glasgow's +6 over the six matches. Does this mean we go through to the semis? If so, that might fill up one of the blank Thursday nights in July!

Hang on just a bit - If Boro beat the Witches on Sunday they will have the best 2nd placed record and will make the semis

We will do our best to beat the pussycats at the showground but dont put your life savings on it!

Im not sure how Sheffield can strengthen as we are currently over the 42.50 average limit unless there is something in place that we can drop Jan and replace Josh upto his average which would mean we can replace Jan with a rider upto 6.54... Im confused though how this could happen as Jan has ridden for more than the 28 day temporary replacement period.

Depends if you have had the injury replacement period extended - or indeed whether Graversen was even an injury replacement in the first place as the r/r facility was the original 28 day agreement

In local press that the changes are not likely to take place before the Berwick fixture.

Interestingly Broc Nicol is now in the Uk.

So how about Broc Nicol for Gravensen.   

And Kai Huckenbeck for Lasse Bjerre.

Huckenbeck did state at the start of the season that he was not interested in riding UK this season but people can change their mind.

why lasse.he has been doing quite well at home.o.k needs to up his game away but who else is there where points will be guaranteed

Totally agree, but that away form has abysmal and if we are going to do anything this season we need to pick up some away points.

The Promotion have stated that there will be changes not change so I would think that Gravensen and Lasse are looking likely to go.

Quality riders are in short supply , you only have to ask Newcastle, Tigers would mad to ditch Lasse and i'm pretty sure he would very quickly be snapped up elsewhere.
