It was announced at the Meeting yesterday that this fixture will be on Wednesday 11th September.

Per tigers website story about CLRC  "Despite two provisional dates being announced, Tigers remain in discussions with Newcastle regarding a new date for the outstanding Championship fixture at Owlerton. This makes me feel the date is still in some doubt. they certainly have not made it very clear

Wednesday 11 September is the Date Sheffield want Newcastle to come, but I don't believe it is set in concrete yet. Wednesday is a danish league night, and Newcastle have three danes in their side. It would probably depend on their availability. Newcastle were prepared  to come on the original date of 29/08 without Thomas Jorgensen but I'd doubt they'd want to come if two or more are missing.

Unless we can have Broc Nicol as a guest :lol:

If Newcastle can't agree on a Wednesday night because of rider availability why don't they Change a Sunday meeting to their off race night and come to Sheffield on a Sunday ? Or is that too simple ?Like working together to get the fixture on .No wonder speedway is a joke !!!,

We were originally due to go on a Sunday but it was rained off, surprise, surprise. the only free sunday we had since then was yesterday which was the Championship Rider Individual. We don't have any more. Certainly none before the cut-off. There are two home league fixtures left. Redcar and Edinburgh who I very much doubt would cancel as they stand a chance of reaching the play-offs. Our off night, as you put it, is a monday, which the Premiership won't let us use for the same reason they won't let Sheffield use a thursday. Newcastle stadium has dogs every other night of the week. We also still have a cup-final and our 90th Anniversary meeting to arrange.

Looks like end of October then !!!!! Would a better idea be when the original fixtures come out teams who ride on same day race home and away early season to allow plenty of time for any rain offs to lessen the chance of fixtures not getting fulfilled. 10 home and 10 away to race ,it's now September and struggling to fit it in.???

Which is why I posted the Tweet from Sheffield saying same yesterday ! ;)

Sorry, I only saw the tweet as being about the CLRC and did not read the last bit. But after you posted that people were still saying the Newcastle match was on other dates so I was hoping to confirm the correct date. Just trying to help. I will stop making that mistake here!
