It was the tactical substitution that lost the Cheetahs the aggregate point, it's such a cr_p rule should be dropped.

Judging from Cairns post match comments there were significant track issues, seemed to be OK at the start, but it went off by half-way. Will was riding the wide line through turn 1/2 , then after track grade/water Cairns has a look at 1/2 before his third heat (heat 8)and then rides an inside line and comes third. I'm no track prep expert but I do know about watering and to me it looked like track prep started too late, watering was only skin deep. Plenty of unwanted action in turn 1/2 tonight, Loftus looked concussed, surprised there weren't more injuries, riders lifting, must be a few bent bikes. Not a great advert for Wimborne Road, but a good result for the Pirates.

Nobody was beating Pickering so wouldn't have made a lot of difference 

My understanding is you have to get on the FIM list, so by doing this upcoming 125 meeting, the track is on the list, then in the future ( if we have one 🤔 ) the FIM or the track owner could choose to be put forward for a bigger meeting. 

Yes I believe so but are there many that Northside would have a chance of staging ? 

'Floodlights at a speedway stadium are not automatic..' I thought they would be automatic and be going on then off and then on again lol. Good job we are behind the times with manual ones.
