is that still acceptable or do we now have to say personned, desk by the ticket office. 

"from a staffed desk" is the preferred PC option ( or even "from the desk by the ticket office" is OK -as it leaves the option for the staff to be of any or no gender )

BSPA says that Worrall and Morris step in for injuries to Barker Nielsen and Kennett... who else in?

Nielsen didn't qualify but was next in line from the Sheffield semi-final. Morris replaced Barker from the Leicester semi so I assume Nielsen would have replaced Kennett if fit

So a guy who never even rode in the qualification process gets a place in the Final, and if he finishes five places behind the leading rider he can still be the British Champion?

A country finishing third tonight (after two days of competition) could win a World Title by not actually beating either of the two teams above it?

And any team finishing fourth in the Premiership over here, after a full seasons racing, can be Champions...?

Wonder if anyone ever thought of actually running the sport 'properly'?:D:rolleyes:

Tbh mate, there are probably as many sports using play off type events to decide champions as there is anything else these days. I am not in total agreement with it on a fairness standpoint, but it does ensure the championship goes out with a big finish, rather then pittering out with the result certain early on.

I cant  wait until Monday i get back from holiday just in time ,a great track a real  even looking  line up and a added bonus  to see Steve Worrall back.My heart says Lambert but i have a feeling he won't win it for me Lambert,Bewley,,Schlein,Cook are the front runners with endless other spoilers in the meeting.

Pleased to see Worrall back, fit and involved but how is it fair that he has jumped ahead of others who competed in the semis? He has effectively been seeded through when others have been denied the same in the past.

Anyone but Schlein. No way this Aussie should be anywhere near the British final. Disgraceful taking a place of a British rider.

what if he wins it? Gets the cardiff British wild card? Utterly wrong.

I can't believe it would even be a consideration.

Cardiff, with Schlein? Oh please. What an absolute insult. :rolleyes:

 

Please please let it be Lambert!
