W9 Lion

Potentially two good meetings, between two good sides. Think (And hope) it will be closer than on previous visits this season.

Not the case I was there when the CofC told the Ref about the change in rider line up. The change was made by the Scunny TM not the ref.

Was in the pits that day. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere. The riders were put in an impossible position.

The Capacity of Belle Vue is only 3500-4000 so allowing that everyone who goes to BV goes to the SON say 1500 then its about 2,000 split between the other tracks so the main issue in my opinion is that TV will have a greater impact than it being in the UK.

And here was me thinking it was just to do with paying Guarantees to certain riders. That only works if you have large enough crowds to afford it and expect your team to thump the other teams home and away.

Quite, but I guess the club at least have experience of running against SGP's to base their business plan on. Its a case of not being able to please all of the fans all of the time.

Appologies Ian I was thinking that you were suggesting Scunny for a Friday night. I'm guessing they do not want to have a major fixture on an untried night of the week.

But there is not a Friday before Poole who have limited access to their track want/need to stage the home leg of the Semi Final.

When do you suggest Leicester race? Saturday is their regular race night. The season ends on the 31st October. That leaves three Saturdays, 16th, 23rd & 30th. If they decided to run the Semi on the 16th & progress to the final they could run that on the 23rd & then have the Colts at home on the 30th as the Cubs still have a meeting to Schedule or have the 30th for a rain off date and run the cubs on the Sunday (final day of the season).

Mais rappelez-vous, M. Potato, quand un fan de speedway laisse-t-il des faits entraver son argumentation ? Toutes mes excuses pour les pauvres français.

Wow you found out before the club. I was stood next to Alan Jones, just by the green container in the pits when he took the call at 18;45 from the paramedic saying that they had broken down.

No. The question was asked.

I'm game for a 75 minute meeting if the ref is........

Summers

With only Plymouth, Berwick & Kent not racing then he was the best available.

Any bus going to the Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre, (route 14a) will be your best bet from the City Centre. They run every 20 minutes on a Saturday leaving the Haymarket Bus Station stand HG @ 05, 25 & 45 past the hour. Transit time is 33 mins. Its then a ten minute walk across the shopping centre car park to the track. Getting back the busses leave the shopping centre at 21:13 & 22:13 depending on the finish time. Taxi's easy to pick up in the CC and take a firms number for the return journey. I hope this is of help and if you make it down come along to the startline and say Hello. Depends on if you want a few drinks but drive would be easier IMHO.

But the lLeicester website has Sedgeman in the Glasgow team for Saturday... IGNORE THIS! - I didnt look at the date and it was for the rained off fixture on the 19th August. Sorry for any confusion my post may have caused.

So if its two divisions (plus the NDL) you have a Champtionship No1. If divisions are merged, so its one professional league and an NDL you have a No1. Err no brainer IMHO. He rides Plymouth well, and whatever pans out in the Winter the club have secured a Number 1 for next year. Well done to all concerned.

Correct, Worral for Saturday and Summers on Friday away at Scunny.

I had no intention of argueing, especially the toss, just showing you the relevant section from the rule book regarding track certification. It's eight plus pages so I dont have the time to upload it onto here.

It's rather complex to explain. Pop alone to the start line between 6:30-7:15 tomorrow night & I will explain if you are at the Plymouth meeting.

Lawson may well be at lEICESTER BUT...

1. It takes us over half a day to put up the airfence 2. Because the safety certificate is for the airfence not each individual panel.

Not if the changes have already been registered at the BSPA, and are awaiting approval

Further South...
