I dare say that's right Dave but it can still be circumvented what with exclusions for tapes and 2 minutes etc.

And why on earth isn’t it any two riders of the team managers choice, subject to them not already having taken 7 rides or is that just too easy.

Lakesides fixture, it’s down to them.

Rain now gone and the forecast for the rest of the day is good, it’s now brightening up.

Perhaps the fact that the last meeting at Rye was on Saturday 15th and the next is Sunday 23rd, generally this rule prevented guests appearing at the same track every week on the same day. It now seems to confirm that the actual race day (Saturday) is counted as day 1 which makes Sunday week as day 9, if Lakeside had planned to stage this next Saturday then Barker clearly would have been ineligible.

Panthers meet home and away (Providing the weather allows) for a semi final place against Scunthorpe, following a planned 2.00pm start at Lakeside the action moves on to 7.00pm at Peterborough. The weather forecast for Peterborough has improved over the last 24 hours and it’s now looking more promising this will go ahead. teams Peterborough - Barker, Grondal, Wilson Dean, Palm Toft, Ostergaard, Stewart, Lambert. Lakeside - Lawson, Morley, Ellis, Newman, Summers, Wajtnecht, Bowtell.

Interesting that the Newcastle match report doesn’t mention why Lindgren was missing either.

Very possibly, but then at least this way both clubs get the bonus of good support at either venue

Peterborough v Lakeside is Sunday 7th October at 5.00pm

Or the MC for some reason allow the team a facility even though their own rules don’t allow it.

I have also discussed it with several of our riders over the years, only Henning Bager actually liked the place. i am sorry for the fans that it’s closed though, it’s never good to see a track shut down and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Not quite sure when Lakeside opened but I must have been 20 or 30 times at least over several decades, it’s never been any different.

And did Lakeside ever change.

To be fair that’s been the Rye circuit for decades.

Again “hardly matters” doesn’t cut it. The BSPA MC making it up as we go along is half the reason why nobody takes this sport seriously and why it’s in the mess it currently finds itself.
