It is probable that having Alex Harkess at the top of the table has brought pressure to bear on BSPA decision-making regarding bigger events.

 

Edinburgh follow Berwick in being awarded big nights, and for those tired of having to make 600-mile-plus round trips to see such meetings, a sprinkling of good meetings in the "true north" must be a godsend.

 

Note to world: Sheffield, Scunthorpe and Stoke are NOT "up north". They are all nearer London than Edinburgh!

It would be great if Cookie and perhaps Tully could be part of the semi final meeting line up along with some of the EL guys.

 

Nice to see a big event heading north again.

 

Hopefully a big crowd will turn up also.

 

Overall good news.

A decent side and now a british semi yer should threaten not to run more often

[luluthetiger 221]

Do we know if this is a "real" semi-final with 50% of the best of British riders competing, or a watered-down meeting after the guys like Nichols, Tai, Kennett, etc have already been seeded through to the British Final?

 

If there will be a fair proportion of big names, it will indeed be a great night.

Quality line up

 

Will home track hero Cookie take care of King, Harris, Kennett?

 

Will Richie Worrall upset the apple cart?

 

Or perhaps there is a further surprise in store.

 

Excellent value being offered by the promotion.

Great line-up which should keep the momentum going from the promising start made to the season.

A pretty fair allocation of riders to the two meetings. Two big nights, with some cut'n'thrust stuff over the last few heats to decide on the last places in the Final!

I see that Leigh Lanham has pulled out of the Semi Final at Edinburgh and is being replaced by Charles Wright.

That`ll have Harris,King,Cook etc quaking in their boots.

Well with just over 24 hours left till this one it should be all systems go. The forecast is sunny all day for the Armadale area so Doc and his crew should have no problems at all getting the track race ready.

 

Can't wait for this one hopefully a big crowd will be in attendance and the racing on track is great as well. Hopefully Cookie will show the big boys the fastest way around the Dale.

 

Also guys and girls remember if you are going to this one and you have not bought your advanced ticket online yet please do so, it is a great deal to see 20 exciting heats for only £15 it's a great offer as you are saving £3 on entry to the stadium but the deal finishes tonight (Thursday) at 11.59pm. The link for the discounted tickets are below.

Seven qualifiers from each semi, plus two wild cards.
