Double Header next Saturday?

Why start another thread ?

It was the same at Brough Park when they guested for Ipswich last Sunday against Newcastle. They scored 1 point each (Wallinger beat Rutherford in heat 2) and Rutherford's point was for finishing third in a three rider race (Palovaara excluded in heat 6).

A bit like Peterborough then.

Maybe because they are a professional organisation?

But you don't have an answer.... Let's move swiftly on then, in that case....

So what was/is the alternative?

Sheffield Play-off dates have been announced by Sheffield. Away - Thursday Sept 29 7.30pm and HOME - Sunday October 2 6.30pm

Or, as a certain person calls him "Davey Who?"

Tootled around the back at Exeter too, absolutely no effort. Deliberately missed the gate, it seemed too.

I would guess that would mean two stadium rentals? Crowds are always down for a Monday, so financially , I don't think it would be a good idea.

I actually thought Archie had got up for second in heat 2. I even (stupidly) wrote it on the 'big' scorecard!

Heat 1 73.0 Heat 2 78.3 Heat 3 73.8 Heat 4 79.9 Heat 5 73.0 Heat 6 79.5

From what I heard George say (re: Rye House) was that the date they have offered us to go there, Robert has his 3rd round of the Final of the U-21 World Champs and he doesn't want to go to Rye without Robert. We wanted to go this weekend (24th) but Rye said "no" to that as they would have riders missing (I think that is what he said was the reason), so negotiations will have to continue until an agreement is met, I guess.

The problem was 1) it was very short notice for one of them to drop out and 2) there was NINE NL teams riding yesterday.

2002. Cost us the League title.

Not racing for pride as well?

So, you weren't there the night Newcastle was there and Garrity and Lambert had a terrific race as described by the Updates site: Heat 11: Garrity, Lambert, Sissis, Phillips 4-2 (34-31) 61.7 Line Up: Garrity, Sissis, Lambert, R/R - Comments: Fantastic race between Garrity and Lambert. Best we've seen at Sheffield all season. Both riders were tough on each other consistently passing each other. But Garrity held on for the win.

Good view from the third/fourth bends.

We had that a few years ago, but was ditched for the current system (except it was 2 pts for a home win of 6 or less)

Like?

Marvelous, so we are going to have exactly the same problems as we had this year!
