Moleman27 31 Posted April 8, 2018 I would suggest Leicester as they can run any day. Or Wolves or IoW as both have run meetings on Tuesdays before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the only run-offs would have been for the final qualifying places That's correct, countback to decide all ties except 7th place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked because I thought it was weird that there wasnt one. But if there was rain and the track was bad, I could see why a ref might say this was enough. Also, there’s a chance BSPA/ACU has their own rule regarding this scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted April 8, 2018 Just read the Birmingham press release and Im puzzled at the planning consent reason. We dont have to race on certain days, any day but from what I believe. Its just we are limited to just once a week. The person that would know for certain is Brian Buck. Some will blame the new promotion for this but decision to award meetings lies solely at the BSPA door, its their meeting. Why the hell with 9/10 days before the meeting are they doing this. Brummies fans like myself who were looking forward to it have been massively let down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a qualifier, the only thing that matters is being in a qualification place at the end. Rain wouldn't have been an issue at Arlington on Saturday night. It had rained from 7pm but by the time the presentations were done it was dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The SCB released a supplementary regulation for the semi-finals, it is available here: http://www.scbgb.co.uk/request.php?6161 This document defines the conduct of the meeting, including how ties are determined. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The semi-final there last year was on a Tuesday I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birmingham ran on a Tuesday when entertaining Poole in the EL Play-off final a few years back. Birmingham have also at various times run on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays. What day wasn't an issue. The BSPA's incompetence and vindictiveness towards Birmingham, because it thinks it knows what's "in the best interests of British Speedway" IS the issue. #speedwayshambles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If both semis are completed this weekend then it will be 17th as per fixture list ! (weather permitting) Birmingham can't host it as final has to be a Tuesday night, and brum can't get permission to run on a tuesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on, every national title should be there (which is c*ap for having to travel,but it's what it was built for right?) Also think k this should take priority over any domestic league matches anyway. Being a national championship should place it below international meetings and above domestic fixtures.
