  1. Depends on who rides for Sheffield. If Cook tries, then realises, not up to it, and, if need a guest for Allen, who do we get. First two I can think of is Brennan (if averages fit) or maybe Kennedy.

    More teams looking to enter NL per BSPL statement. Wonder if Buxton may be one of them?

    Why slow mo? Purpose of racing is to go as fast as possible.

    Sheffield 2020

    In that case he should look at this years averages for Sheffield. He is currently 5th, behind Holder, Ellis Howarth and Pickering.

    Sheffield 2020

    Just done a quick comparison, for Sheffield's starting seven, comparing their starting averages, to their average for this year to date. The increase or decrease as follows, Holder + 1.73 Ellis + 1.41 Howarth +0.72 Sedgemen + 0.22 Wright - 0.14 Batchelor - 2.53 Bates -2.77. Whist I believe that making the change of Pickering for Sedgemen does improve the team, does make you feel some sympathy that Sedgemen lost his place. Also shows some reasons why Sheffield could struggle to make the play offs.

    Sheffield 2020

    Good signing, but feel sorry for Sedgemen. There are others in the team who have been dissapointing, but kept their team place.
  7. Any information about how disruptive they are, and how long they may be there? Not a Scunthorpe local, so do not know what to expect. I can get there early, more concerned about delay in getting back. Thanks

    June 14th Sheffield v Kings Lynn is no longer on the fixture, on Sheffield's website, so that will not be shown.

    Sheffield 2020

    Very unlikely. Wednesday is not a Premiership night. Birmingham have a match same night, so Chris Harris would have two matches same night. When they called off the Peterborough match they did say (a week ago), the new date would be known in the very near future. Lets hope this information is shared.
  10. Don't bother. It's off.
  11. In view of most tickets being sold in advance, what will the position be regarding any rain offs etc. Normally you are entitled to attend any of the next three home matches or the re-staging. However, allowing this would mean there is no certainty about how many will be attending a future match. Anyone heard what the situation will, or may be?

    Obviously he can not please everyone, but he could tell everyone (the start time).

    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020

    Going slightly off the current topic of debate, I personally, was planning on going to the majority of Scunthorpe's matches, despite them not being my team. I am now re-considering. Nothing to do with the team. Since the fixtures were published, over 11 weeks ago, I have been regularly checking the fixture list for the start time of the two Sunday matches. I am sure that I could fit the matches, in to my other plans for the day. After Rob did such a good job of re-arranging fixtures, which had been arranged for prior to 17th May, I simply can not understand why arranging a start time is so difficult. Assume they would not be too early to allow any away fans to travel from Scotland. Not too late to allow for their return journey, and the extra races which follow. Must I reluctantly give up?

    But some points on that issue. Why can they not start to show the races we have missed, miss out the gaps in between races, and gradually catch up until live. If a sport, such as tennis or snooker (obviously difficult to predict and end time), does over run, why do they have to show some presentation, and or interview, after the game., and why do they have to promote some future event, before switching to the scheduled event?
  16. I will start by saying thanks for the update on the website. However, there is a lot more information I (and presumably many others) would like. Information about admission to the other leagues. Will advance ticketing be the only way to gain admission. What are the prices. Will there be a surcharge for Paypal or something similar. Will the situation change on 21st June (assuming lockdown easing goes to plan). Do you need to print your own tickets ( I assume I may not be the only speedway currently without access to a working printer). What is the situation regarding any post ponements?

    Belle Vue's opening match against Sheffield on Eurosport. I notice a Sheffield match moved from a Thursday to a Monday. I would assume this is for the benefit of Eurosport, so they probably know which matches they are covering. No idea when they will be making a formal announcement, or why the delay.

    Premiership Ticket Update

    Thanks. Some information now starting to appear. Paying cash is available at Scunthorpe, although purchase of a programme now appears to be compulsary. However at Leicester,. not sure how fans like myself, with no access to a printer (currently) go on. Also not sure about using Paypal. Never used it before. Any reason why a faster payment direct to the speedway clubs bank account not allowed? If we do have to pay extra would rather it go to the club.

    Sorry, accidentally posted before finishing my post.

    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020

    Thanks. Assume there will not be too late a start due to the second meeting afterwards. Hopefully, the club may release some information soon. After all, fans travelling from Scotland, or other non local areas, may especially want to know.

    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020

    Hi, does anyone know what time Sunday matches normally start at Scunny. Have tried to find out actual time for this year's Sunday meetings with no success. Even a guess would be better than no information.

    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020

    I think there is a good chance they will avoid wooden spoon. Newcastle look worse, unsure about Redcar's replacements. Also Plymouth have a look of uncertainty about them. Don't know too much about the bottom four, and unlikely that the top two will score their starting averages. I will settle for some good racing.

    Better than no speedway.
