4BenMoran Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looking at he Speedway GB site it shows that Peterborough have to arrange to race Sheffield twice at home (possible 6 points for Sheffield inc bonus points) , whilst Wolves need to fit in Leicester at home and Leicester need to fit in Kings Lynn at home all before the end of August deadline that’s in place. These fixtures could impact the final whereabouts of the top 4 teams. I wonder if the promotions will look at where their teams are and who they will face in the plays offs before having to do a (financial loss for the home team) double header before the end of next month as I can’t see when some of the fixtures can be slotted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 The now typical malaise continues A pathetic and unacceptable situation Perhaps Peterborough should be made to forfeit the cup tie and look to complete another league fixture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Five and a half months to get 12 league matches and any cup ties in, really shouldn't be difficult. I expect the Championship will have a similar problem even though they halved the number of matches at the eleventh hour. Such an amateur set up in this country. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WembleyLion Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Nothing much really changes does it? No urgency at all.

Expand There never seems to be an urgency, not just in the Prem, I often hear of teams not racing because they are missing riders. But do they not realise come the end of the season they'll be struggling to fit in fixtures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
