I can confirm Barker guests for Bears. Diamonds also bring in a guest. Lasse Bjerre is ill and James Sarjeant comes in. R/R for Thomas Jorgensen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R/R for Thomas Jorgensen. This is everything that is wrong with Speedway yet time and time again the same thing happens. A supposedly prestige event ends up a scratch challenge fixture made up of whoever is left standing/can be bothered and prepared to ride on a rain sodden track, whilst the punters freeze their nuts (or equivalent) off in the bitter cold and wet. And the promoters wonder why nobody turns up. Of course it's all the fault of the weather...... I'm a supporter of 30+ years and now can't be bothered to go to a nicely poised Cup Final 2nd leg against our local rivals!!! Shambles. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
