Steve Worrall, Drew Kemp and Lawson are also good at Leicester. 

Not Drew Kemp... I've never seen him have a good meeting, anywhere! I was watching him closely last time I saw him and I don't know why as he seems quite a tidy rider, he seemed quite reluctant to ride any wider than mid track though

It could possibly have been run yesterday but the track needed to be completely bladed off. And Leicester clearly don’t have a blade and one is being shipped in this week. As the trackman has been taken I’ll, this has clearly delayed any decision making, delaying things further.

As for scraping the playoffs, that is never, ever going to happen. It’s a huge money earner for promotions with huge crowds. Nearly every sport has playoffs, even football. It brings in welcome income. To say there’s a league champions and a playoff champion is utter nonsense. Agree that the season could be shortened slightly so that playoffs take place in September with the final beginning of October and the KO Cup after playoffs are completed.

 

Good God!    That's positive, sensible post from SS.     I need to go lie down

Blimey! So he did, from reserve though, with a lot of 3rd places and a couple of wins against riders you'd probably expect him to beat... fair play to the lad though, he's got time on his side

How about awarding it to Leicester?

We had our home league programme completed by the 24th of July it took Poole until the 18th of August. We had our pay off semi done by the 24th of September, Poole the 2nd of October... everybody has spent all season waiting for Poole, now they have to wait a while for us they don't like it!

Don't forget Glasgow can be blamed for some of the hold up, cancelling a meeting that should have carried on

You do realise that the referee cancelled the meeting.

I suggest you change that remark from Glasgow to the Referee in charge at Glasgow.

Got paid 7 from 4 rides last time from the much more difficult number 4 position, he rides Leicester better than Poole in my opinion.

I really should pay more attention to him next time then, could be a match winner if he reproduces that form

Need to have the League and Play-Off Matches done & end Sep or 1st week Oct latest ( plus Play-Offs only involving the top four teams - not top six - ridiculous that a team finishing in 6th place can still win the Play-Offs and therefore be crowned Champions )

As for the Jubilee Trophy or any other Mickey Mouse competition ( no disrespect intended to Her Majesty I hasten to add! ) - nobody - fans, riders, managers - cares as they are just glorified Challenge Matches and should be restricted to just one or two meets at the beginning of the season or as fixture fillers if needed during the year.

Just my opinion anyways

Anyone know the new date yet, i thought they said it would be announced today.

They did but the announcement has been postponed. A new date for the announcement is being discussed and whether (anybody is still interested) will need to be taken into consideration.

They are going to ask Noah.He seems to to the expert on the matter and managed to solve it.
