Nevermind the GP, I'm going to Eastbourne . If they are rerunning the GP tomorrow, where is Scott going to be?

But hang on. If the GP is rerunning, does that mean the Polish meetings are cancelled/postponed? That would mean Hans can be in East Sussex.

This team line ups for this fixture are beginning to resemble a pantomime.   Only in speedway. (Well at least in Cricket they changed the entire team in advance of the match !)

Scott Nicholls  ? Is he riding for BT sport or Leicester tomorrow?

Nathan Ablitt .... one of "Eastbourne's own"  is he riding for his club ? Sings4Speedway suggests he isn't ??

Drew Kemp - is he still riding in Poland tomorrow  ? or is the Gdansk  meeting cancelled due to the GP reschedule?

As for Jake Knight .... you couldn't make it up ..... Never have I seen such a set of complicated rules to prevent an English  junior reserve rider being denied a ride. Surely in the "interests of speedway" he should be allowed to ride for someone tomorrow ?

I guess if there was any kind of logic, Jake Knight would be riding for Gdansk.

Until he got half way there of course, when the meeting would be formally postponed.

I think it’s fair to say Mr Nicholls will be riding. I don’t think having to appear on the telly is a valid reason not to ride. Don’t think he wants a ban plus to lose a shed load of dosh. 

Mind you, this is speedway, so who really knows

How would Nicholls be banned, he is riding as a guest. If he cant make it to Eastbourne then Leicester will find another guest.

You'll probably not find out who the replacement is until the parade... my guess would be a Lion Cub or Jake Knight

If that is the case, it should be announced. Fans have shelled out £25 for today's double header. They should be entitled to a refund.
