Don't the reserves have to be there and cant they be used to replace riders in the team. Are guests allowed as it woukd be a surprise if at least one isnt required and can RR be used too? Bit of a hastily-put-together Mickey Mouse tournament in my opinion. Only a small proportion of fans from the Scottish tracks and places like Plymouth were ever going to be able to attend the final in Sheffield if their team got through. I still don't even properly understand the format and i doubt i ever will. Yet again the speedway authorities seem to have got it wrong. Even a four team tournament would have been better, more excitement and drawn bigger away support in the qualifying stages. Anyway, rant over. For now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought that the Final should have over 3 legs ,one at each Track at least that would have been more credible.IMO Typical British Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Sheffield should've been given the PLRC or whatever it's called now if were to get a shared event rather than it being at the countries most southern outpost (not having a go Poole fans just a fact). and as you say an additional home meeting for the winners to get additional gate money etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh will probably be the only team that can use Harris in the play-offs. He now has the third highest average in the championship behind Masters and Morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see any club wanting to hold this. As has been pointed out already the final at Sheffield will be a financial black hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case should've been a semi and final including best place runner up as the premier trophy was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should relocate the meeting to Vojens, they have expertise in staging prestige meetings in front of small crowds at short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
