StevePark 2,740 Posted October 11, 2012 Ipswich go through as they won the first leg as per Birmingham v Belle Vue tie. All two leg matches will now be decided on the first leg only otherwise all the matches will not get raced It's not 'over two legs' though, is it? It's two seperate matches.

RS50 355 Posted October 11, 2012 Why not run the match straight after PLRC. May get lots of the neutrals to watch as already at Owlerton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backless 538 Posted October 11, 2012 Why not run the match straight after PLRC. May get lots of the neutrals to watch as already at Owlerton. I'm just guessing, but perhaps the riders from both teams might want paying for riding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 355 Posted October 11, 2012 Is it raining yet ? Just a little drizzle I'm just guessing, but perhaps the riders from both teams might want paying for riding? Never suggested people should not have to pay to watch this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,683 Posted October 17, 2012 For once I can see the BSPA logic. The Witches had that blank Thursday where they couldnt ride at home (world stock car) so a trip to Sheff was possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 355 Posted October 17, 2012 Just a pity the Sheffield Management did not have the courtesy to tell the fans, who may be waiting for this info, via the website. Unfortunately, this now seems typical of them. I think they need to remember that these are the people who pay £300.00 season ticket/£15.00 weekly admission money.

RS50 355 Posted October 17, 2012 Copied from local paper website; Tigers season could be over Published on Wednesday 17 October 2012 15:23 TIGERS appear to have raced their last home meeting of the season. The postponement of last Thursday’s Premier Challenge Trophy clash with Ipswich has left the club with a lack of alternative dates as the Witches are also a Thursday night club. And club owner Neil Machin is far from satisfied with the situation. “It is an impossible situation,” he said. “We can’t stage the meeting on a Thursday because that’s Ipswich’s race night as well and our alternative race day, Sunday, is a non-starter because there are events planned for the next three weeks. “But we wouldn’t have been in this mess had the three northern tracks not taken it upon themselves to be grouped together. It was never a case of the six tracks being put together on a northern and southern basis, that was never agreed. I’ve asked the British Speedway Promoters’ Association to tell us who made the decision and they can’t answer. “It would make sense to have the groups on a regional basis and normally there’d be no problem with that - but had we been able to discuss the matter then it would have been made clear that grouping Ipswich, who have so many commitments, with another Thursday track would have been stupid.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massey Harris 47 Posted October 17, 2012 Does that mean they are not running or preparing fans for the worst? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
