racers and royals

Yes Sunday - no time stated - 2 Brits in charge, they will get it on !!!! Christina Turnbull is ref and Mick Bates jury president. If it is Sunday the Poles will be livid !!

This is taken from the SCB website "Financed entirely by fees generated through the issue of Track Licences, Rider Registrations and Officials Licences the SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing." Maybe the time is right for one of the two track inspectors -Doc Bridgett and Mick Bates to pay the track a visit.

I can`t get hold of Ghostie- hope you are ok, so i will start the Swedish thread for this season. With there being 9 teams in the league in 2019 there are 5 matches most weeks spread over Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Tuesday May 7th Piraterna v Smederna Masarna v Indianerna Lejonen v Rospiggarna Vastervik v Vetlanda Thursday May 9th Dackarna v Smederna I will post line-ups for the Tuesday matches on Sunday evening and the Thursday match on Tuesday evening The best TV viewers can hope for in week 1 is delayed coverage on Freesports at 10.15 pm on Thursday- all the TV matches this season are on Thursday`s. Nothing yet on any Polish TV channels for Thursday

Have no fear - you are in !! with the additional "bonus" i am giving this season i am hoping for a record entry !! I am still pouring over the " form book " studying video after video, because i need to be at least one step ahead of the punter. I expect to have the spread completed for posting next week - ideally i should wait until after qualifying like the lesser bookmakers before pricing up- however the no 1 Speedway bookmaker must lead, therefore the battle will commence from next week !!!!

Yes i think so.

Maybe a good time to remind everyone of some of the rules Race Off 1 & 2 After the 21 qualification heats there will be 2 additional heats. Heat 22 (1st Knock-out heat) will consist of the team in 4th & 5th place. Heat 23 (Final Knock-out heat) will consist of the team in 3rd place and the winner of heat 22. The winner of heat 23 will join the 1st and 2nd placed teams in qualifying for the finals. Final 1 & 2 The Scores from Final day 1 will be added to the scores from Final day 2. (42 Heats) to determine 4th to 7th place in the 2019 SoN. Final 2 will consist of 2 extra heats, a Final Qualifier heat and a Grand Final heat to determine the top 3 of the 2019 SoN. Heat 43 (Final Qualifier heat) will consist of the 2nd & 3rd placed teams from the 42 qualifying heats. The winning team of the Final Qualifier heat will join the top scoring team in heat 44 the Grand Final heat. The winning team of the Grand Final heat will become 2019 SoN champions. The losing team of the Grand Final heat will become 2019 SoN Runner up. The losing team of the Final Qualifier heat will become 2019 SoN Third Place. The U21 Rider can replace his teammate at any time during the meeting. The U21 Rider must race in a minimum of 1 heat in each meeting, Final day 1 and Final day 2 will be classed as 2 meetings. If the U21 does not get nominated before the last programmed heat for his country he will automatically replace the rider in Red or White. The Reserve Rider will not be permitted to take the place of any rider disqualified for starting offences. Any start warning given to riders in Final day 1 will not carry over to final day 2. If the Grand Final heat 44 ends in a 3-3 then there will be a Run off with one rider from each nation nominated by the team manager to race off for the SoN world championsh

Could be a shower or two in Gdansk today- but meeting should be ok.
