Roger Jacobs Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 1 hour ago, IanBrannan said: Thanks Roger, I'm not sure what you mean by the second bit. As the decision to make it a one off event was announced on the 3rd of May and explained by Phil Morris at the time. Chris Louis of course is also one of the directors of the BSPL, he is on the No Brakes podcast this week explaining everything from his point of view. Probably worth a listen as I can't add more to it really. You said the date was decided before any line-up was known ... well, they knew there would be no Laguta or Sayfutdinov. Although it's a shame Louis agreed with Sayfutdinov that he wouldn't have to ride in the Pairs, it's very disappointing that Louis didn't tell supporters. There was a buzz amongst Witches fans about Doyle & Sayfutdinov in the Pairs. Oh well - at least the Ipswich pairing will get support from Redcar fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moranboys Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Premiership pairs should be your top two riders...no question,so in no way should it be watered down and that's no disrespect to the riders who are competing.wad going to attend this with my son up to a few days ago but won't bother now.will probably watch on BSN for 11.99 rather than the 60 odd quid that it would have cost.

Liontamer Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 As Leicester season ticket holders who have travelled the country watching speedway for the last 54 years, my wife & I have decided we will not be paying out over the top entrance fees for a watered down stocking filler of a meeting like this. If the top Premier league riders can't be arsed, then neither can we. More proof if proof is needed, that however much you try, you really can't polish a t*rd. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hope the rain that has effected the u19 meeting at Birmingham doesn't also effect this. Would hate for the meeting to be postponed and then run with the top boys later in season once Polish season has finished 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Like most fans it is a rather disappointing with the final proposed lineup. As much as I would like it to be a Lions win on Thursday I have a feeling it could be a Belle Vue vs Sheffield final, If there is a bit of grip round the outside then I will go with a Belle Vue win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 What I'd like to know is why have the riders that have "elected" to miss this meeting not sanctioned with a 7 day ban like Artem Laguta for electing to miss the Wolves league match. Who decides which meeting carries a sanction? If the Pairs doesn't but league matches do, why aren't they treated the same if they are "official" fixtures... what about the KO Cup? Is that official, does that carry a potential ban... what another fine mess they've gotten themselves into 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle would have been in the Ippo pairing if his Polish fixture had not been rearranged for today after the weekend rain-off! I thought you would be pleased to be hosting a 'final' after last season!! 3 SGP riders including your own - whats not to get excited about?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or pretend he was never asked in the first place. it's not a matter of what I would or wouldn't like to see and shopping riders it's about clear and transparent upholding of the rules to ensure sporting integrity... one of Phil Morris' remits. The question still remains unanswered what's the difference between a League, KO Cup & PL Pairs fixture... why do some carry bans and others don't?
