And according to the preview of tonights meeting in the Sheffield Star, the Peterborough home meeting is now rescheduled for Wednesday the 2nd June???  Not sure how reliable this is as it doesnt appear on the Sheffield website and would mean the Tigers being at home 2 nights on the trot

Very unlikely. Wednesday is not a Premiership night. Birmingham have a match same night, so Chris Harris would have two matches same night. When they called off the Peterborough match they did say (a week ago), the new date would be known in the very near future. Lets hope this information is shared.

Whilst just checking to see if there was a new date for the home match v Peterborough, I noticed that the Kings Lynn home match appears to have been changed from 14th June to 19th July. Anyone know why?  I do wish they would draw attention to this sort of thing. Surely they don't expect everyone to check the fixtures daily for changes, and presumably they would want everyone to know ASAP, in the hope that they can be there.

Tigers website now states Thursday 16th September. Seems more likely date. 

And just having checked the fixtures, now notice that the Kings Lynn fixture,  originally 14th June, then changed to 19th July, now changed to 15th July.

Whilst fully appreciating difficulties, I do feel it would be helpful for all involved to highlight these changes. I try to keep all race days free as I want to see the matches. Promoters presumably want maximum income. Can imagine how annoyed a Kings Lynn fan would be if they had booked a day off work, and/or accomodation, only to find they had not been made aware of the changes.

Have we seen a preview of the rest of the season when it comes to our top two average riders

1 has only rode in 1 match, and the other hasn't turned up for either match he has rode in

if this keeps up we will have gone possible league winners to finishing near the bottom.

Well done to Kyle, good job we have had him up to now as our third highest average rider has only managed one match as well

Hope i am wrong and Jack and Adam can ride in all the rest of the matches and that Troy gets his act together for the next match

Batchelor is hugely unreliable. He's never been comfortable as a No1 anywhere.

Your not suggesting that Bates may end up with a specially virulent form of covid that requires isolation until October are you?
