Really close meeting

Actually the rule says that you DON’T get a facility for practice day- which on occasions can be the day before the meeting day- As you have rightly said practice and event are today.

Don’t forget NKI has a pretty cr@p average at the moment !

Let`s get this straight- Shanes has never been on the continent grasstracking/longtracking the day after fulfilling a British commitment ? Obviously his kit for Morizes would go by road and he would have flown out by himself this morning. Funnily enough professional speedway riders are doing that day in day out !!

He can only have been practising- because he certainly wasn`t in a meeting.

I`m pretty sure i actually know the reason and it`s all about outside influences sticking their unwanted noses into Speedway`s business and the SCB/BSPA not having the guts to do anything about it.

Thanks DGT -meeting starts 7.45pm UK time

But it didn`t have to be a NL rider- Shanes didn`t need to take the bikes he would have ridden tonight to ride in France tomorrow did he ? he doesn`t need to be with his team taking the longtrack bikes to Morizes does he ? He could have been in a Birmingham airport hotel by 11.30pm and had a decent few hours sleep before catching the 6.55am flight. and by my reckoning would have been at the track at least 2 hours before practice starts.

Maybe you can ask your mate Mr G why Sheffield were allowed a facility ?

So you think pointing out that a facility for a rider riding in the same meeting as a rider who has ridden tonight in Scotland is a trivial matter ? There is no option to ride or not. If Shanes wasn`t at Scunthorpe no facility was available within the rules this supposedly professional sport operates with. Speedway within the UK from the top down is bent

I`m not around tomorrow- so cannot put any links up but they should be listed here tomorrow http://www.soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport http://livelooker.com/en/tv,7,speedway.html As this match is being shown by TVP sport there is every chance that the TVP regional stations will be showing it and is being shown on their website and hopefully will not be geo blocked https://sport.tvp.pl/transmisje

Harris is flying to Bordeaux in the morning( that`s the nearest airport) on my orginal post i found a flight from Birmingham at 6.55am which got to Bordeaux at 10am which Shanes could have taken and i think it was £71 - Harris probably can get a flight nearer to where he is tonight. I would love the SCB or the BSPA to explain which rule the facility was granted under.

Final score Region Varde 43 Holstebro 41 which means that the final will be held in Outrup(region Varde) and they are joined by Fjelsted- Wednesday September 19th is the date Slangerup host the semi-final and meet Holsted, Grinsted and Holstebro on Wednesday September 12th with the top 2 into the field.

They got the bonus when they met - so that must come before race points diffference.

Edited - now confirmed.

Region Varde turned it around now 40-32 up with just 2 races to go

Tense in Czestochowa 43-41 up after 14 now !!!

Harris riding in Glasgow- with Sheffield using R/R for Shanes it`s an absolute disgrace.

Still 2 down 38-40

Who is Miedzinski riding for tonight Czestochowa or Torun

Could be a shock in Denmark tonight Region Varde 18 Holstebro 24 Edit 27-27 now after 9
