I asked Rob about this on Friday, he mentioned to me that as the meeting was meant to be a Sheffield staged meeting, it has to be at Sheffield.

If Ipswich and Leicester both win tomorrow night doesn't that mean that Leicester finish second anyway?

1st round result 1st Krosno 4 2nd Bydgoszcz 3 3rd Lublin 2 4th Leszno 1 we move on to round 2 in Lublin next Wednesday 10th September start time 3pm UK time

I hope your not suggesting that Redcar can influence what night Poole have to race on ? No club can tell another club what to do but surely some sort of agreement has been reached. Poole have potentially a lot more fixtures to fit in if successful in all competitions and delaying of the Redcar fixture by a week or more would have repercussions further on. Seems a common sense move to me.

Now confirmed Vojens straight to the final. Holsted host the semi on Wednesday 17th September.

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-sheffield-h-2/ Hopefully get the win tomorrow to have made the away fixture postponement’s irrelevant anyway. Ellis back, and at reserve.

Maybe you only need to trot out that line when you fiddle the semi-final draw? 😄

Did they do Rock, Paper, Scissors? 😁

Belle Vue and Ipswich confirmed for next week.

you know your right

I remember when I first starting reading programmes as a kid, and when looking at the fixture list "RESERVED" pretty much filled up October except for the BLRC. . Didn't understand the reasons .. Obviously as you got older, you could see the reasons given the end of October was cut off... 18 teams in the league, plus a full Belle Vue Colts season, up to five KO Cup matches at home a Northern Trophy featuring Sheffield,Halifax and Hull, an annual John Player individual, and the BLRC .. And all done without fixed race nights to help ensure all riders were there, with some riding in the National League as well as the British League for different teams. (Many teams had at least one rider).... Oxford this season have ran 29 home matches... Maybe the last two weeks of September should be play off time, with "RESERVED" being put in for the first two weeks worth of Monday and Thursdays...?

Sheffield still got at least 2 prem meetings to complete, at this rate mid October before they stage Steelers v Leicester.

Wow disappointing and weird that he is wrong about this sort of thing

That definitely needs to be looked at. Yes it’s unfortunate to have rain offs right at the death, but it is now September and there’s always the chance the weather takes a turn for the worst. They need to leave a two week gap in future, between the final set of fixtures, and the start of the playoffs offs to allow clubs time to rearrange postponed fixtures.

Mustn’t need the time to commercially promote the play off’s this season 😜

Did Doyle want to race or not?

Sheffield will do anything to avoid the Aces in the playoffs 🤣. Joking aside, why are the playoffs starting so early. There should have been 1 weeks grace between the last week of the league season and the start of the playoffs.

Deleted as wrong thread🤣.

Noah says it wouldn't have been on anyway.

Not really as if Ipswich win then there 100% top. Yes it wont change anything as the cut off date will be before the Sheffield restating, but its still better for top to be determined on the track.

Halifax ?, Eastbourne ?, Stoke ?.

One can only guess that they don’t want to run the second leg after a 30 point trouncing at Wimborne Road. Surely they could find a gust to replace King who would have been riding for Ippo at Sheffield (postponed), a Premiership team racing on a protected CL race night ?

Hope your disappointment soon wears off. You could always go watch United or Wednesday instead. They’re both doing well aren’t they ?

You’re right it is, unless Sheffield manage to run this at the weekend. Let’s hope Sheffield don’t turn us over at Foxhall tomorrow (providing that goes ahead as well) because if they do, we could have the farcical situation again of the wrong teams facing each other in the semi finals when the Sheffield fixture gets run after the play offs and the final table ends up different to what it currently is..

No prize fund for the Comp in 2025. There was in 2024. So he is basically talking rubbish.
