Don't think you can have a Rising Star guest from another Premiership side so that would rule Edwards out of any future guest appearances unfortunately.

British GP Cardiff Saturday 2nd September
ipswichwitches replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Yes, mine have been upgraded from U15 (CAT 6) to M18. When I enquired with SeeTickets they said this was due to production changes. Some friends of mine are Upper Tier on the back straight and they haven't had their tickets changed. The SeeTickets site still has CAT 6 tickets for sale in U13, U26, U29, U30,U31 & U33. Some categories don't appear to be available now. The stadium in never full, so maybe they've decided to not open it all and to concentrate the crowd in to certain areas. -
Given that both Rew & Hume now have identical averages, would moving Rew to #6 and Hume to #2, with Barker going to #4, be a viable option for Monday's home match against Sheffield and for the following month. The regs say: In any declaration where 2 or more riders hold an identical MA (cannot be determined by a 3rd or more decimal point) then the re-declaration must nominate the hierarchical order. Where riders have a previous MA, then the higher placed rider from the previous issue shall retain the higher position. As Rew didn't have an MA as was assessed, then I think it allows us to move him to #6 if desired. If he did have an MA (not assessed), then he would have had to stay in the main body of the team.

Ipswich V Kings Lynn May 1st

Near to stadium and clouds about but plenty of breaks and sunny intervals. BBC weather wildly different from met office and Weather Bug -
Ipswich v Sheffield 20th April
ipswichwitches replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Interestingly, BBC Weather says showers between 4pm and 7pm. Weatherbug has 40% chance of showers at 3pm, 10% at 4pm and then dry for the rest of the evening. Difficult to know which one to believe. -

05.09. Aces v Tigers - League "B"
ipswichwitches replied to Col's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Is this an original fixture or a rearranged one? I thought UK had Monday and Thursday as protected race nights, as defined by the ISLB, so other countries cannot call on riders scheduled to ride here. If that still stands and it's an original fixture, Poland should not have first call on Musielak. Happy to be corrected! -
Cardiff 2022
ipswichwitches replied to JWatson's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Has anybody any experience of using the disabled / ambulant seating areas in the stadium? Having spoken to the stadium, they have identified block U12 and block L22 as the closest blocks to where we plan to go (U15). Block L22 appears to have the ambulant seating at the back of the block, whilst block U12 appears to have the seating towards the front. At the moment, U12 is looking the more favourable, but I have a question regarding access to this area. Does this ambulant seating area have it's own access, possibly at the back of it looking at a plan, or do you have to enter / exit via the usual aisles? As a blue badge holder with limited mobility, my elderly parent would find it a struggle to have to shuffle past other people to get to the usual aisle, hence the question about access. Thanks in advance for all your help Ian -
Ipswich v Peterborough June 23rd
ipswichwitches replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Heeps average is 4.96 so is too high to guest for Barker who is on 4.44 with no 5% increase for home meetings as he's a reserve and strangely that 'rule' doesn't seem to apply to reserves. With regards to Riss last night, he blew his engine in the first heat last night so could be excused a below par performance. -
Thank you for that - can't believe I didn't see that. Must be an age thing.

Just out of interest, has the track always been this shape or has it ever used all of the available land inside the greyhound track?

Ipswich v Lynn 28/4 LC
ipswichwitches replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
With heat 8 being a protected heat, the only way Starke could come in is for a tapes offence or failing to beat 2 minutes. -
It certainly does show how badly worded this rule is (and many others have been in the past). Therein lies the issue. We fans can interpret this particular rule in many ways but until someone official clarifies what it actually means, the speculation will continue. My 2 pennies worth of interpretation is that the first transfer window open after 25% of all league fixtures have been completed. As this has not yet been achieved, then there is no transfer window open so no team changes are allowed and you have to persevere with the 1 to 7 you started the season with. If riders are signed on temporary contracts, then those contracts should be valid until the transfer window opens and a replacement on a permanent contract (whatever one of those is) is signed. Incidentally, you could argue that all riders are on temporary contracts as they're only valid March to October inclusive. With regards to the 2 occasions, I read this as you can replace as many riders as you wish on 2 separate occasions during the window. In effect you could replace all of your initial 7 with a new 7 (all at the same time) and then replace that 7 with another new 7 (all at the same time) during the window. However, if the 2 occasions have been used up during the window and you have a long term injury happen, then a further replacement is allowed. As has been said, a poorly worded rule that is open to many interpretations.

I'm guessing that regulation 012.3 would prevent any immediate team changes. A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury. Not sure if it's 25% of a teams fixtures or 25% of all league fixtures. if it's a team's fixtures, then our 5th fixture is Thursday 2nd June at home to Kings Lynn. If it's 25% of all fixtures, then it could be any time.
