I'm sure someone more tech savvy will confirm, but I think it's possible to buy a device that turns an ordinary TV into a "smart TV" and allows you to add things such as Discovery Plus. I will need one myself.

Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October
lucifer sam posted a topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Two cracking meetings ahead, with Scorpions needing to overcome their Lions hoodoo. -
Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October
lucifer sam replied to lucifer sam's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Originally the play-offs were due to start on September 17th. That would have been plenty of time. The quarter-finals could have been held that weekend, the semi-finals the weekend after and now only the finals would be left to go in (the always) rainy October! -
Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October
lucifer sam replied to lucifer sam's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Exactly. Scunny finished all their fixtures by the original cut-off date, but they and others were then left waiting around for the teams who didn't manage to do that, despite a much shorter fixture list this year. -
Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October
lucifer sam replied to lucifer sam's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think that's your answer. After Friday's result, Scunny agreed to go to Leicester today without a facility for Adam Ellis, to get the fixture completed, but it was Leicester who didn't want to hold it today, presumably because there was no chance to get the track back into a raceable state after the rain this week. -
RIP Mr Cradley Heath. Condolences to his family and friends.

How are you going to fit 30 to 40 thousand fans in the NSS? -
Torun Grand Prix 2021 (Entry to Poland for UK citizens)
lucifer sam replied to Fullmax's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Just been catching on yesterday's Grand Prix. What was the result of Heat 15 last night? I could swear that Thomsen finished 3rd, but SGP website has given it to Magic. -
Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October

It's off, as already posted on this thread. Re-staging next Saturday (October 9). I'm sure of the Leicester fans can confirm, but I believe you can pay on the gate. -
Play-off Q/F - Scunthorpe v Leicester - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October
lucifer sam replied to lucifer sam's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Inevitable result last night... Connor covered for Theo at reserve, but the joint absence of Thomas and Tero proved too much to bear. That's not taking anything from Leicester, who were superb last night and may well have beaten a full-strength Scorpions. Still some superb racing on display. Heat 13 was good, but Heat 14 was even better - with one Scorpion battling with Lions for two laps, and the other taking over the battle on the last two laps, resulting in a near dead-heat for second place. -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020
lucifer sam replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Scunthorpe moved back to Fridays first, Glasgow moved to Saturdays and then Fridays if you recall. I know that Scunthorpe have second priority. There is such a thing as co-operation between promotions, and Scunthorpe agreed to let both Glasgow and Redcar ride Scunthorpe at home on a Friday this year. You will note that Redcar's home meeting with Scorpions was also in the fixture list as a Friday all along, despite Scorpions having priority. -
Scunthorpe Scorpions 2020
lucifer sam replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Due to a mistake in the original fixture list. At which point, Scunthorpe decided to stick with it, because it allowed the British Youth Championship Round to be spread over both that and the following week's Edinburgh meeting. Scunthorpe surrendered Friday nights so both Glasgow and Redcar could stick to their normal race-night (co-operation between managements), but the Glasgow one was rained off and ended up on a Sunday. -

Thomas Jorgensen would be the best bet, if he's available. -
RIP Dave.

Not for any of the Friday night tracks involved. Edinburgh are the ones likely to stick to Fridays and even they have the capacity to run on a Saturday, if needed. I don't think the other three tracks have restrictions to race-nights at all.
-
1. Edinburgh 2. Scunthorpe 3. Glasgow 4. Redcar is the pecking order, I believe. Although another factor is whether the team above in the league table wants first or second leg at home. In that case, they may have to move off race-night to accommodate that. That's probably not an issue, since the four Fridays teams set to take place in the play-offs are almost in reverse order in the table to their priority. I think the first-round (quarter-finals) ideally need to be held on the weekend of October 1st-3rd and the semi-finals the weekend after that, to allow time for a couple of rain offs somewhere.

Jordan Palin back from collarbone injury to ride tomorrow. -
Shortened season, so couldn't be fitted in this year. Assume they will return in 2022.

Please somebody tell Havvy beforehand that tactical subs are not allowed in the KO Cup. -
Under 19 Championship, Scunny 17.09.21
lucifer sam replied to ScunnyDan's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I think you would need to use it at Mildenhall or contact them via their website for a refund. It won't be valid at another track. -
Unless it rains... then anyone can beat Poole. Tail is far too vulnerable when track is wet Second easiest win of the season for Scunny last night, after a thrashing of Kent, before Batchelor joined the team. Pirates nothing special and can be beaten! No one clear favourite in this league - if I was forced to pick one, I'd pick Leicester. Good to see you last night and hope to see you back in the play-offs, so you can get a proper appreciation of the superb Scunny track.

Cheers Shaleshifter - good to see you last night. When you're next coming up, get off the M1 at junction 21A and then go to Scunny via the A46 and A15. Will save you loads of time rather than staying on the M1, especially when travelling up on Friday. Glad you and Shovvy made it in time for Heat 1 tonight. Hope you had a decent trip home. Been home since just before 1.30am (didn't leave the stadium until 10.30pm - like to have a chat in the bar afterwards), and just finished writing the match report for the website.
