Beirao 207 Posted May 7, 2023 Will the ties take precedence over the KO Cup? Right now we seem to be at Redcar in the Cup on May 19, although this has still to be acknowledged by the Glasgow promotion. If we get Redcar does the tie become the BSN semi final? Are BSN Committed to showing all four semis. If so you can't have two on the same night. Getting Poole would certainly simplify things slotting them in on May 26 and they can have the first leg on their blank date on May 17... or do they not do first legs?!

We had first leg of KOC! But are the Danes free on that Weds?! That is what I meant be having to wait til July. Edited May 7, 2023 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, we do seem to get in tight meetings with Scunthorpe, but like I said earlier, I don't really have a big preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,061 Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Good we got Redcar (I think - might change that thought later!) 1. Lawson has guested a lot for them.(are they regretting that now!) 2. We have 2 ex Redcar riders from last season 3. Ben and Zach love it there (like everyone!) 4. Poole and Redcar's league meetings aren't til June and August so spread out a bit! Are Redcar signing a replacement for Riss or just going to carry on using guests? Edited May 7, 2023 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has it been confirmed which team Lawson will ride for in this one Worst draw possible for the Bears (see all points above) but hopefully Riss will be back so at least we can have a full team of our own riders. Mickey Mouse cup anyway* (* I reserve the right to change my mind on this) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They run their social media accounts really well. Looking forward to it and should be a decent crowd at Poole with the return of the king! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect they'll use the existing dates this competition and re-organise the league for later. Might help if Glasgow can organise the second leg of the Redcar KO Cup for 26 May too.

Only this afternoon they listed May 19 as Redcar v Glasgow in the KO Cup. Presumably we now race Scunthorpe that night at Ashfield, with this Fridays meeting at Scunthorpe now being a BSN fixture.
