Surprised they not gone for Tate tbh. I get using Allen at Redcar, but Poole? Last 3 scores 3, 2 and 6+2. Though the 3 and 2 scores he did have a lot of bikes problems! Ritchings a good guest but surprised they not gone for Foord or Trigger. Edit - Okay didn't realise it was Steelers vs Leicester so Foord or Trigger aren't available!

Is that because he wants to use an Oxford or Poole rider? Like Killeen or Kerr?

There isn't a single, comprehensive "compassionate leave" rule for British Speedway. Instead, it's a case-by-case situation that involves the individual rider, their club, and potentially the governing body According to Google AI.

That was down as family emergency though rather than compassionate leave. Howarth also missed a meeting due to family emergency i believe. On Redcars SM pages (mainly X) they are still saying Lawson, so who knows! 🙃🤷‍♀️

Masters is too high! Lawson 9.83 and Masters 10.09. He could guest at Poole though with the extra 5% you are allowed.

Jody Scott. Think he is sitting out with concussion.

Does say on compassionate grounds. Fingers crossed everything is ok.

No Lawson on Sunday. Ellis guesting. Edit - Allen and Smith guesting for Redcar.

Will test how good Redcar's drainage is. Wonder if KL track is available? 🤔🙈😂

Didn't he get 12/13 at Poole for Worky when he never been there before? So i can see why they would want him. Poole have had to deal with bad attitude young riders over the years, nothing new there! But probably not had it since the Prem days.

Well yes, they are bring prioritised because they are at SF stage still and KOC is further ahead being just the final. So makes sense to prioritise it imo. Also you need to be scheduling fixtures in soon as possible now we are in October as you are relying on weather and stadium availability.

They didn't even have a new date for playoff SF, so they didn't sort it out very well. Can't be delaying playoffs by at least 10 days or so because Dan wants the 2nd leg in KOC final.

Common sense by BSPL. Playoffs should be prioritised.

I'm not saying we should. I'm saying it would easier to plan fixtures if they made it through to the final as they have more free dates than Redcar. Not sure what Plymouth or Scunny have to do with it, they weren't in the SF.

Not sure about Fricke. But think Dan, Brady and Doyle are. There was a time when Lambert was living in Germany? But feel like it could be Poland now 🤷‍♀️ So do Poole, so that is mainly to do with winning rather than GP riders, if that is what you meant.

I'm sure they are when they don't have a lot of fixtures to fit in. Oxford don't have anything else if they got through so it would have been easier.

Because unless Redcar are going to do 2 home meetings in a week, the earliest it will be done is middle of October and then 2 weeks to do 2 finals and that's providing there is no bad weather. Which is asking a lot considering at least half will be north of England and Scotland. All SFs should be completed before finals take place when it is same teams. If they going to have all competitons at end of the season, league first then koc then bsn cup. I think Poole were hoping Oxford got through last night. Be easier to sort out!

I thought the playoff SF was on 5th Oct?? To not have a date for playoff SF is ridiculous. League comes before cup imo.

Only when track is as normal i suppose.

Redcar definitely be harder for them to beat. If we don't get through the SF then hope Redcar do it just for the entertaining factor of everyone moaning about 3rd place team winning the league 😂 Agree about the Poole track, people been moaning about it for last 20 years. We are on a list with Plymouth, Leicester, Sheffield, Oxford etc.. Also Glasgow didn't have that much passing in first half of the meeting last night. Just gate and stick it on the outside to stay in front. Chris Harris said it and so did Adam McKinna. But definitely more passing last 5/6 races.

Redcar only winning by 6. This tie still anyones. Be easier for us if Oxford made it through tbh. They showed a few heats on BSN. Am I right in thinking Redcar had a 12 point lead at one stage?

How is that out of his control though? Which is what he said.

Only Redcar will stop them imo.
