I think that was speculation prior to the publication of the rulebook, which from my reading appears to make no such provision. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks to those that sent weather details, shame Sheffield missing two riders. Ellis, Worrall & Howarth can take Cooks R/R I believe. Looks like a home win now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On last Monday's showing I'd be inclined to agree with Richie Worrall being better than Musielak but I doubt Musielak would have been as poor again this week. Test of Stead's team management, got to get the R/R selections correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Provide a night at the Speedway but dont make it a "proper competition"... Only six teams in the league and cup so surely dates could be found between now and the end of the season..? Sadly "it's ok we can have a Guest, which riders go well around there? We could end up better off!!" is too often the refrain, rather than "let's keep credibility in our main competitions, make them mean something, and be worth winning"... At least the weather is looking good for tonight, which usually means decent crowd numbers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the powers that be care much about any competitions in this country and they are certainly not going to change the fixtures for the benefit of the fans. We just have to accept it as it is and cup competitions mean very little. Personally i think this gives Belle Vue a much better chance of winning, Musielak is a far better than Richie Worrall, i expect they would have had his brother had he been available .Can't see r/r being of benefit to Sheffield either, Cook is good at the NSS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
