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!

It says above your post (post 3481 & 3482) that no facility is available, so they wouldn't be able to use R/R, just an NL 3 pointer.

I think there is a good chance that it will be 6 man teams next season. No idea what the combined average per team will be and whether they continue with an NL 3 pointer at number 6 and, say, a supplementary reserve at no.5 (or wherever in the team), remains to be seen. Very little appears to be coming out of the practice matches held at King's Lynn, so really, once again, we have no idea what's going on!

Nathan Greaves not riding at No. 7 for Sheffield? EDit: Just seen he's U19-ing. Unusual for Sheffield to ride on a Wednesday. Any particular reason for it??

A guest is on stand-by if Robert can't ride.

Rene Bach at 1 - R/R for Victor at 2.
