Crazy the BSPA expect fans to travel to such a meeting while taking in Cardiff yet with less than a week till the meeting there has been no mention of line-ups.

Typical poor show yet again

Update, I'm taking 10 pens with to share with the only other person who will be attending..

One Pirate & One Lion  :lol:

Where does the sun sit in relation to Oxford Stadium? As in, will it be shining in our faces or will it be 'hidden' behind the stand?

I've not been down yonder since a British Final many moons ago and can't remember if I fried that night or not. Given the forecast for Friday, I could very well melt :oops:

And the Speedway GB site claims Smiler Sam is riding for Edinburgh.

But it's only a week since he had 9 screws put into his shattered collar bone - so surely not?

It's a Mickey Mouse event that presumably pays peanuts.

Rest up Sam!!

Beware of the sun, it gets hot that far south

See you Friday

I'd rather the Pirates win it and be known as Mickey Mouse than not compete and be known as a Donald Duck  :rolleyes:

British Speedway twitter have tweeted everyone's line ups and Berwick have Harris and Flint.

Thanks for that.

Think it was on the Berwick Facebook page I seen it on (was on about the Bullets on Tuesday, Bandits on Wednesday and Leon a reserve at Cardiff).

I will be attending with my mother who needs to sit (not disabled, just can't stand for that long).  From what i can see from pictures and videos i'm not convinced there is any seating?  We have our own chairs to bring and i see someone has already confirmed that they can be taken in.  Is there any area that is better for using seats?  I.e. if some terracing is too small to fit a standard folding chair or there's a busy standing area where a chair will be a nuisance.

I have tried looking at the grandstand but can't see any way of booking it?
