The first three due to longer league programmes, the last two covid. The competition is on its sixth name: Knock-out Cup (despite most of the fixtures involving no-one being knocked out) National Trophy Premier Trophy League Cup Championship Shield and now Jubilee League In 2003 the Elite & Premier sides all raced in the "regional mini-league" competition. Can't remember it's name off the top of my head though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be able to get Andrew to do it... His diary won't be too full I would think.... And in true Speedway fashion he could cry off and send some random Earl as a guest to replace him... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 359 Posted August 6, 2022 What happens in the final if the teams all have one injured rider? With 6 man teams, do they have to use the 6 fit riders? Obviously would be more disadvantaged to have a top rider out. Or can r/r or guests be used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,631 Posted August 8, 2022 So a 3-leg final, rather than a one-off at Sheffield, now being rumoured?! Presumably because there are loads of spare dates between the play-off dates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if had to be at a Prem track be better if it was at Wolves. What happens with Glasgow if Craig Cook and Ulle aren't back? Do they just promote Connor Bailey into the 6 and use a guest?

Doubt be much interest from Sheffield fans in it, might get 5/600 fans between the 3 clubs attending. Whereas have extra home meeting each that will be well attended in a space where there's not many meetings happening seems right to me. Could all be done in the one week as all different race nights too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not lol. If guests have been the norm in the qualifying groups I don't see how replacing our no.1 with our no.7 for the final can be right. But it is British speedway after all 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
