Does it have to be the top 2 riders in team averages unless injuries?

Supplementary regs state, helpfully;

 

"Qualification As determined by the BSPA"

I take it there are no meeting reserves as its very difficult to take a Championship Pairs meeting seriously when poor Danny King has to ride on his own for Ipswich. I`m not expecting that each team should have a reserve rider but you`d think there would be a couple of NL juniors who`d take a couple of reserve positions.

There are rumours that this meeting may actually finish today

No suprise, these type of meetings are always a marathon.

[Baldyman 6,243]

And another home team victory. Same old same old

[spanner47 336]

Not surprised with a home victory. Poor crowd by all accounts, not surprised as the locals have got a joke meeting to attend tomorrow. But if they held it on a neutral track the crowd would be even lower. No one cares about these meetings anymore.

Josh Auty needs a ban for trying to punch Bjerre off his bike. Should've stuck to his retirement the baby.

 

Come across some joke speedway fans throughout the years of being a supporter, but the 5/6 Workington fans on the 3rd/4th bend who were booing the Sheffield pair and calling Kyle Howarth a disgrace after getting to his feet after Charles Wright had took him out from behind are an absolute disgrace. Complete bitter, brain dead group of invalids.

First half of the meeting was a bit boring, but got better as the meeting went on with arguably the last 2 races being the best.

 

Firstly hope Wright is ok, was a very nasty crash and think we were lucky that either of them walked away from it.

 

Secondly congratulations to Sheffield, we came through the hardest group (arguably) and turned on the style when we needed to!

 

Thirdly, hope Auty didn't hurt his fist too much trying to punch Lasse 🤛👎

howarth and wright came together due to ben barker slowing it down,if ben had got his head down and gone on,they might have took the title cos wrighty might have got the better of lasse,but what a tremendous race that was by all four riders.

It wasnt a home victory until Wright made a mistake on bend four ;lap 3

 

Howarth then passed him and locked him on the inside for Bjerre to fly around both of them.

 

The Sheffield pair then kept Wright at the back and Wright fell trying to split them on the third / fourth bend.

 

So it wasnt the track that gave the Sheffield the win, it was a mistake by Wright and some great riding from Howarth

 

Hope Wright is OK
