If it's on averages , is that the averages in total of just the top 4 in each team?

I ask, as if just top 4 Leicester should be in, (Sweetman, Darkin, Hall plus 1, probably Bondarenko) but maybe not if all 7, which may hit crowd size.

As hosts Id imagine Leicester will be in anyway. :blink:

As Ive said before,these events usually go to the highly attended tracks,the BSPA gets a bigger handout as its a shared event,even before their first meeting the attendance was anticipated to be pretty huge,that's nothing negetive aimed at the place,just sayin'. It's great news for Leicester though,best of luck to them :lol:

what is the capacity of the ground? with the record 4500 fans( on txt or was it not true ) in the ground for the first meeting, it does not leave a lot of room for the other teams fans.but good luck and hope the lions qualify for the fours.

There would have been a lot of neutrals and a lot of newbies at the opener, Leicester will cope fine with the fours.

I think you could cut the crowd by 2000 for the next meeting, you always get the "got to be there for the first meeting" supporters and hangers on for the first one and then it starts to drop off, hopefully they will have a good season and be able to keep there crowd level at 2000 per meeting.

Was at Leicester for the Newcastle match stood on back sraight hardly see a thing unless you get right at the front. If you go to the fours take a box to stand on Another thing the riders are hidden away in the pits the kids and the big kids like to watch what goes on in the pits Apart from that very good set up Good luck Leicester on fours day

That is because of a planning condition to reduce noise nuisance.

Ok i've found that it starts at 5pm, is it right that it's 28 heats in all? If so should i allow more than 3 hours for the meeting going on previous finals? Gotta decide which train to book home?

Does anyone know when the draw is being made for the Fours? I heard a whisper the other day that it was meant to be this week? If so, does this mean it's worked out with averages from July 1st, to see who the best 8 top 4 are?

 

If it is worked out like this, then by my calculations we can expect the following teams, in order of highest averages first...

 

1 Redcar

2 Sheffield

3 Workington

4 Edinburgh

5 Newcastle

6 Somerset

7 Newport

8 Leicester (Qualifying as hosts!) They've nicked Glasgow's spot !!!!

 

IMO this draw should be made Live on Sky Sports this coming Monday at King's Lynn at the Interval, which will be seen by a big audience there and on TV and give the event an even bigger publicity plug.

 

The easiest way to draw the 2 Semi's, would be to put Redcar and Sheffield in 2 separate Semi's and then put 6 balls in to a bag numbered 1-6 and then start with Workington and work down. Ball number 1 puts you in 1st Semi and ball number 2 puts you in 2nd semi etc etc. Before each ball is pulled out, they say which team they are drawing for. It's so simple, but I can't see this happening because it's exactly that, too easy!!!

 

Or they could just have the names folded up and then do whoever comes out first goes in 1st Semi and whoever comes out 2nd goes in the 2nd Semi and 3rd team drawn out in to 1st semi etc etc.

Missing out would be...

 

Berwick

Glasgow

Ipswich

Plymouth

Rye House

Scunthorpe

Really not that bothered whether we're in it or not . If we are then we'll have a coachload down , but if we're not we wont .

It's pretty much a novelty event anyway , without the qualifiers it's just an invitational open meeting .

it shows when certain people are involved which teams are in (EAST COAST TEAMS ETC)

 

WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER IF TOP 8 IN LEAGUE THEN WOULD BE GREAT RACING

BUT AS IS JUST CASE OF IF FACE FITS ETC

 

how embarrasing that teams sitting 11+12 could be in and teams 2+5th may not

we will watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year we weren't allowed to use Joe Screen as he wasn't signed in time , although he was signed by the beginning of July . Will the BSPA force this year's hosts to go into the meeting without Kauko Neiminen and Henning Bager ? just a thought .

Whats that got to do with anyway? In footballing terms, the team who won the League Cup were relegated to the Championship. It's the team with the best top 4's that qualify. The BSPA have got this one right.
