Remember in 2017, Sheffield only had 4 senior riders, away to a strong Glasgow team. Sheffield still won by 5 points.

Sheffield still have 6th May on their fixtures. Wonder if these fixtures could be trial events, to see how things go. Considering most speedway fans will be eligible for the vaccine long before May, could be a good idea.

Yes, but I don't believe he intends to race in GB.

Adam Ellis at Sheffield. Did not see that coming. Wonder what average he comes on.

Crowd figures were not published even when speedway was the second most popular spectator sport, after football.

Speedway crowd figures were not published even before the introduction of VAT.

Even an empty one?

Some fixture changes on website. Well done for quickly re arranging.

Some alterations already done to Scunthorpe fixtures. Well done for the quick re-arrangements.

Handicap racing was before my time. Logically, better riders would be against it. Harder to score points, and earn money. Also, would who like to be in charge of setting the handicaps? Bound to upset some.

Assuming Reg Pendlebury is actually Craig 5 of the team have ridden for Sheffield. Not sure about Farrell, don't remember that name at all.

Reg Pendlebury? Did they mean Craig Pendlebury, or Reg Wilson?

Or maybe just quietly confident. We should be very strong at numbers 1, 5 and 7, and I reckon Kyle will do a decent job at whatever number he gets.

Just hope Jason and Bjarne never have a bad meeting on the same night, or the match could seem like an inter league challenge.

Is Josh G doing Poland Sweden and Denmark? Would rule him out if so.

Did not ride in 2018 or 2020.

I reckon Sheffield has about 13.61, left for the three remaining riders, and a rising star. Getting Josh G would not leave much left for the other two. If it is right that Josh Bates is on the rising star list, would like him at number 7.

And doesn't have a chip on his shoulder.

Could do worse. Still remember the 18 point max he scored against us at Owlerton.

Who would be doing it? Jack Duckworth and Jerry Lewis?

Anything said about who the competitors may be? British only? Is it the top end riders, rising stars, or even Premier junior riders?

Just going slightly off topic, noticed that J P Blackburn listed. Is he still competing? Not heard much about him lately.

Sorry if you see me as one of a gang rather than an interested spectator, who wanted to make plans to be available to get to matches (and was disappointed not to be able to do so). I am genuinely not sure how Premiership fixtures would be impacted by Plymouth's decision. Could a set of fixtures with Plymouth TBC, be issued?

It was the BSPL who made a statement initially, that the fixtures would have been published about a week ago. Perhaps they could explain the reason why they are not available, in view of THEIR original statement. Sometimes feels to me that they choose to work against, rather than with the paying public.

Nicki Pedersen Polish rules.
