arthur cross Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 2 minutes ago, Fromafar said: When is the cut off date,and what chances of all clubs completing fixtures before cut - off. Peterborough official Neil Watson commented on their 2018-thread on this forum that the final weekend to count towards the play-offs is Sat-8th/Sun-9th September so that's 9 weeks beyond this weekend for the Thursday tracks and 8 weeks for the rest who won't be using the Cardiff-GP weekend. After last night's meetings, the remaining home Championship meetings are ... Peterborough, Glasgow - 4 each Lakeside, Berwick, Newcastle, Sheffield, Scunthorpe, Redcar - 5 each Ipswich - 7 (but that includes hosting Redcar on the Thursday before the Cardiff-GP) Workington, Edinburgh - both 8 So it's only the Comets & Monarchs seriously jammed up against the cut-off deadline unless the Witches suffer a bundle of rainoffs with the rest comfortably on schedule. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Workington & other promotions are trying to push the issue into running meetings when their riders have hit a bit of form while we are still using multi guests & r/r. I said earlier when we agreed to the postponement at Workington on 19th May if other teams would play ball if the shoe was on the other foot.

Thought I'd get a few emoji's in first You're just not grasping it are you...its not about the postponement with your lot, it was about all our Friday's fixtures going forward being removed from the Fixture list without an explanation . We aren't pushing for anything just to ride on the AGREED nights from the start of the season , nothing to do with meeting teams as we've hit a bit of form ... Got it ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I won't lie Friday's cancelled home meeting against Newcastle has got me baffled thanks to this stupid rule brought in by the bspa.glorious weather and two teams ready to race sitting on there bums at home Instead of been on track that night.it wouldn't be so bad if either team was riding somewhere else and make this ruling kinda understandable.

ch958 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 serious post - could someone bring me up to speed on this Friday thing = i think i missed an announcement or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 It was announced at the Workington v Glasgow meeting, week before last, that the Comets and other clubs had been asked to change Friday night fixtures, they weren' t happy, fixtures agreed in January. Sometime last week the Comets and others had fixtures taken off the fixture list by the BSPA. The Comets are affected most, Edinburgh & Peterborough not so much I believe. Ok to ride last Friday against Berwick cos they ride Saturday. The issue seems to be rider availability for guests to cover injuries.

I can only think it's so riders are available for guest appearances, it's a case of you can't ride Fridays, even though in January we agreed you could on these Fridays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 With Rene Bach getting a new ave (6.12) Workington could replace Kyle Bickley with up to 3.73! Would you drop him? Who for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Drop kyle NEVER its all a learning curve for him just hope we get to see the benefit next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 no chance of young kyle getting dropped . we are not that sort of promotion . British speedway needs clubs like workington to bring on the young uns . stop talking poooo . altho he may be replaced by Greg Hancock !
