I suppose things that are endangered need protecting.

Why do they have to change night? If they do I would have to assume it would be Friday, which doesn’t work well for me but may do for other families with kids. Not particularly enamoured by the 38 point limit.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Championship limit is 38?

Not that I have any knowledge but I think the cancellation of the Ben meeting had zero to do with lack of track work.

That's what it sounds like - even with a poor team this season we still normally got decent racing on a track. False economy not paying for a decent track imo.

Given this mornings news from Peterborough maybe it makes more sense, or maybe not. My comment earlier was a reflection of the excellent work Kevin Keay had done over the last 2 years and disappointment that he would no longer be involved.

I find the statement that the "directors have a different agenda" pretty worrying to be honest. Hope it's not a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

I emailed the SGP organisers and the reply back I had was:- "The date of September 21st has been confirmed for this event with 17:00 start time."

Cheers boz

No one seems to know - what we need is one of the people from "around the country" making enquiries to tell us.

Good job the much maligned Ben Barker rode well as a guest otherwise it could have been a much bigger defeat.

Well the Comets fan next to me agreed that Proctor had gone down untouched and was very lucky to be in the re-run. We all see things from our own teams perspective but occasionally your own team is in the wrong (whichever team that is).

Bit of everything in that meeting - some excellent racing, a few falls, some mechanical failures, some interesting refereeing decisions and a last heat decider. Comets fans were complaining that the Heat 8 exclusion of Jensen (which lead to the missing point) was a mistake while , as a Bears fan, I think Proctor was very lucky to be allowed back into Heat 13 (and subsequent 5-1 to the Comets) when he went down untouched on the first turn. Bears were inconsistent as usual - Thomas doesn't seem to be able to recreate his KL form (or his visiting rider form) for the Bears and the Andersons blow hot and cold. Excellent debut for Lunna and Berge looked better tonight despite his fall and mechanical issues. Bewley is a class act and Proctor was good generally (but not in Heat 15 fortunately).

Well it’s piddling down where I am and forecast up to 7 doesn’t look good. Typical as it’s been dry all day.
