But they shouldn't have to move the cut off point.I think by the 22nd of September all teams have had adequate amount of time to get all league fixtures done.We have had one of the driest Summers in years and yet there is still league fixtures to fit in.Shambolic is the word that springs to mind.Too many weeks have gone by with no fixtures.especially during the Summer holidays.There is no excuse for this to happen.

One incident with Palm Toff,and he's fencing someone every week, what a load of crap

10 heats run by 8:15 - amazing what can be done when it works in your favour......

To be fair to them... Since the 28th of March when the Premiership ran the first League Cup match... There have only been 54 days available on a Monday and a Thursday to complete 10 home meetings... In fact, only 52 when you take the SON break out... What chance did they have? Expecting them to run 10 meetings over this time would be asking far too much especially as every rider in the league would be available every single Monday and Thursday due to priority race nights... We will be expecting them to invent fire next....

The most sensible thing to do for credibilitys sake is Sheffield forfit against Ipswich and give them 4 points. This should be made a rule,,,, I bet teams would re arrange their fixtures better in future if that was the case

Every thread does... Poole fans spread across the forums faster than Covid!

How does an Edinburgh v Leicester topic end up talking about Poole ?

At least Poole don't have Danes fencing/blocking their own guest team mates eg Flint!! Or failing to turn up after 'aggravating his injury' no doubt whilst doing commentary for Danish TV!!!? Still at least it saved Plymouth the air fares!!! Suck it up Buttercup!

Totally shambolic and is part of the reason I (and many hundreds perhaps thousands) no longer attend The "top" league is not even sufficiently organised to get what is about half the traditional number of fixtures run Meetings that have a material impact on finishing positions and therefore the pairings for the league title deciding play offs not being run within cut off timescales is simply unacceptable at any level of sport let alone a fully professional top level

Wouldve been time for a double header - probably could fit in the missing heats of the A fixture too......

Pump broke

Literally hilarious that you trying to make out Lawson is a dirty rider. Is it April 1st??

Give over, lawson far from a dirty rider

Yes but until last night you could argue we had a better team last season apart from the the Cooks who were awful at Leicester last season. They have improved alot. Incredible performance from Ben.

We’ve 6 teams in the league for Christ sake, how we’ve got to the stage where there are outstanding fixtures to squeeze in when we’ve had between April and mid September is ridiculous but here we are. To ride play off meetings with pairings that could up being the wrong pairings is embarrassing.

Tonight could be fun at Sheffield 1, if Sheffield want us in semi they will want to loose tonight. 2, if we want Ipswich in semi we want to loose tonight. Say if that’s what both teams want could be an interesting 15 races. Slowest times wins lol

Sadly nothing on the meeting for Wolves dead rubber for them - will help for average reduction as well - protecting there selfs for the play offs - im sure come the semis they will be a very different side . But we’ll done the Stars on there win

This is what happens when every rider wants to reduce his average

Picture the scene... The meeting goes ahead in the rain, and heat 9 has just been raced. Riders come out for heat 10 where we all know once completed the meeting will be abandoned and result will stand with Sheffield leading. Then the air fence deflates all by itself... the highly trained Sheffield track staff are unable to fix the issue, the match has to be abandoned without a result as the curfew hits... If Carlsberg did speedway....

Because they take over every thread, unfortunately.

Tomorrow`s 4th round still PPV- Onesport can get stuffed !!!!

You just admitted you are the troll. Glad you realise it now

Exactly! Bless him. Is funny though.

Wembley hosted league racing in 5 decades (1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 70's), Odsal in 6 decades (40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's).

It's quite amazing really when you consider the long hot summer we've had and only 6 teams in the league and here we are struggling to fulfill all the fixtures.

No,,,, that's just crazy,, in a professional sport

Says the so-called Brummies fan getting his vitriol in on every thread he can!!

He's no Nicki P tbf! Still think they were just going for same bit of track. But I will let you have it if you can find the other examples of him 'fencing opposition riders most weeks, esp Danes.' I mean if it happens most weeks can't be hard to find can it?

So, you're saying he did do it?

How can he when he's miles out in front

Yes but that is exactly why they didn't pick us!

Know sign of Trackrat this morning

Shambolic and speedway,,, it's like a match made in heaven. If ever 2 words deserve to be in the same sentence,, it's those 2

Not sure the move to the hounds was in his thoughts at all. Never heard any suggestion of that before. The rest I agree with though. For the six years he ran it, he upgraded the track and stadium and always invested heavily in the team (not always successfully). The end was always inevitable given the Bradford City fire and the scale of redevelopment required of a wooden stadium, the value of the land in Manchester and the relatively limited income potential of running a speedway/stock car venue. I also understand he had a divorce from Pat to pay for? Hyde Road, Plough Lane and Brandon are the nearest the sport has had to iconic venues....and they were all allowed to slip into the wrong hands and outside of British Speedway's control. The sport never has had any vision or long-term coherent strategy....hence its lost its most cherished assets. It's still a miracle the new Belle Vue got built. Chris Morton and David Gordon deserve a medal for that at the very least.

I don't go along with this riders deliberately not scoring to reduce their averages it's a job and they need to earn money to pay the bills just like the rest of us.

Looking at the updates for Poole v Leicester last night there was no mention of track grading breaks. Not sure if this was actually the case but with Poole gaining momentum from ht8 onwards it would seem common sense not to change a winning feature. Wonder if Glasgow will do this on Sunday?

We've also made the decision not to go and we're only 5 miles from the track! There was a lot of rain a couple of hours ago and it's been drizzling for the last hour. The worst of the rain forecast is between 7 and 9! Think they're determined to get this on even if it means waiting to ride heats between the worst of the rain and complete 10 heats to get a result. That means this might go on until around 10 pm and be completely devoid of any racing and entertainment, and I'm not prepared to waste my time with that. They had around 5 to 6 hours on 25th August to prepare the track, on what was a beautiful afternoon and evening and couldn't be ar$ed. So afraid I can't be tonight. Hope I'm wrong for all those who turned out tonight, but we're not bothering.

I stand corrected (maybe). The point I'm making (admittedly clumsily) is that Hyde Road (1929-1987), Brandon (1929-2018) and Plough Lane (1929-91) are venues that were primarily renowned for speedway racing first and foremost over a long unbroken period. Wembley and Odsal, impressive as they were, are more closely associated with football and rugby league.

Strange why they are not against Ipswich next Thursday to see who finishes top

How can they finish top when they still have a meeting against Ipswich which will decide who finishes top

should be a good meeting.

Desperate for cash. Look out for carrier bags stashed under a desk - don’t want them to go missing like they did when Reg Holdsworth was in charge.

Saturdays match line- ups Zielona Gora v Krosno Zielona Gora 9 Protasiewicz 10 Buczkowski 11 Tungate 12 Kvech 13 Fricke 14 Borowiak 15 Mencel 16 Krosno 1 Milik 2 Karczmarz 3 Grygolec 4 Szczepaniak 5 Lebedevs 6 Karczewski 7 Sadurski 8

Huge legal differences!

I can understand no one being bothered in a meaningless fixture being completed after the cut offs but Sheffield v Ipswich would probably change finishing positions. Bonkers. British speedway tho

I imagine you would know a lot about such matters

Change the record! This has nothing to do with league positions and you know it. You drew at Ashfield and beat them by 12 at home. They had no Brennan in the home match but Sedgmen still got 5. Ruml scored what Kemp would probably get at reserve. Even with Brennan it's not a 12 point swing. You know you're favourites and should beat Glasgow but as ever you wind up everyone on this forum. This forum would be a far better place without you and it's about time the mods did something about it and banned you.

Lest we forget what it's all about amidst the bitterness of recent events, you may wish to check my "Ode to Brough" on speedwayplus.com Read it and weep. It's a poem. A poem?! Well, I did go to East Walker Primary.

Well I feel so fortunate to have been out with family today and had to miss the live screening, just caught up via the youtube link kindly provided by @racers and royals. Didn't have any prior knowledge of the outcome but feared the worst after watching the first few heats, luckily the showing was condensed to just under an hours viewing, must have been painful for those that sat through it live, even worse for those in the stadium. All in all a crap weekends speedway, only shining light was Dan Bewley winning the main event last night, such a shame that the edge is taken off that win by the people responsible for ensuring a decent racing surface is provided, not much to ask for considering they were guaranteed no rain.
