a4poster 82 Posted July 24, 2018 With the SGP being held in September next year will the pairs still take place the previous evening? Or, as it is so late and depending on the league structure how about replacing it with the PLRC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topsoil 2,498 Posted July 27, 2018 Without the Cardiff GP it makes no sense to take anything from the Championship to Somerset. Miles away from any Championship club, surely it would be better served somewhere more convenient for Championship fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffields last match Thursday 23rd August That would be 4 weeks before the pairs and the PLRC would be nearly 3 weeks before the pairs, how many riders would have packed up for the season Edited July 30, 2018 by The Third Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,616 Posted July 31, 2018 Don't they have play-offs in the Championship then? Riders are usually contracted to end October!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Third Man 2,211 Posted July 31, 2018 not if you don't qualify, so that's only four teams, potentially, running in September Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of speedway in September and October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
