Group A could be interesting Group B looks a forgone conclusion.

Not so sure about group B.   Kent are without Kemp so it opens things right up.

Cradley presumably will be without Jack Smith, but would have thought Clegg would be available, as surely the NL4s takes priority over an open meeting?

Group B looks the tougher group to me.  Leicester should be fairly happy with their draw.

Regarding group B, BV should progress but it’s totally open between the other 3 imo. Kent are missing Kemp. Plymouth have Wilson & Stoneman plus an in form Andrews and if Campos knows any track then it’s KL! Plus you can’t discount Mildenhall with Ayers in top form and Edwards & Atkins are no slouches either.

Presume BSPA will say the NL 4s take priority over a late Newcastle re-arrangement?      Surely the only solution is that Newcastle will have to use guests if Clegg and/or Phillips have been chosen for the 4s

In Jason Pipe we trust.   I'm sure Mr Pipe will have foreseen this kind of thing happening and will have an agreement with the BSPA in place for priority over riders like the NDLRC has.

Not fair for either Cradley or Belle Vue fans.

Certainly removes a level of the spectacle. Not being overly harsh on Cradley to say without Max they will have huge difficulties progressing. Belle Vue on the other hand who have a huge chance of winning should be able to cover their 4th rider a bit easier and actually opens the contest as a whole up.

Now the meeting has been moved to Stoke, that's two customers lost to the event.

Bumped back as its not the flagship event they wanted and will now rather than staging at a neutral top flight venue it will be held at Stoke. Whilst the implications is that the racetrack has improved the facilities and location has not. Think the number of travelling visitors will be considerably down. Yet again nice idea but poorly executed, welcome to British Speedway.

This could now cause a fairly hefty financial loss for the sport.

These showpiece events need to be on a Sunday afternoon  when more people can travel to them, as so many people work all day on a Saturday.  I know a lot do on a Sunday too, but I doubt that there are such vast numbers working on that day.

Gutted at having to miss it.
