They'll av to change the name to Winter Trophy with the way British Speedway is run.

And wots happend to the KO Cup? Leicester still haven't raced the Quarter Final 2nd leg at Scunny yet! Not that they need to! 

Leicester are waiting for a date from Scunthorpe . The blank dates Scunthorpe have had are due to rider availability .  Also Mr  Godfrey doesn’t want the same team there twice in quick succession. Leicester are at Scunthorpe in the Jubilee Trophy next Friday so I think it will be 26th August

Didn't there used to be a Premier Trophy like this at the start of the season when it was the premier league so surely this should be called the Championship Trophy.

A competition with the format of regional mini leagues followed by a final (and usually semi-finals) has been held in the second tier every year since 1997 with the exception of 2003, 2011,2017, 2020, 2021. The first three due to longer league programmes, the last two covid.

 

The competition is on its sixth name:

Knock-out Cup (despite most of the fixtures involving no-one being knocked out)

National Trophy

Premier Trophy

League Cup

Championship Shield

and now

Jubilee League

Its full name is the "We need some more fixtures that we can pretend are meaningful Trophy"

Aren't those fixtures called "The Premiership" and "The Championship"?;)

And a Jubilee Trophy final on 31 October won't look as strange as a Summer Trophy final :rofl:

The final might not be ran till the next Jubilee...:D

In 2003 the Elite & Premier sides all raced in the "regional mini-league" competition. Can't remember it's name off the top of my head though!

perhaps it's as well as the summer trophy as there doesn't seem to be any Speedway between the Beginning of August until the end of October... will her maj be presenting the trophy?

Might be able to get Andrew to do it...

His diary won't be too full I would think....:D

And in true Speedway fashion he could cry off and send some random Earl as a guest to replace him...
