Pity the latter would be welcomed

Take it you mean the price of admission not an increase in number of people admitted ?

Probably because of the damage they do. A Thursday speedway match at Sheffield once had to be called off due to the state track was left in after stock cars previous Sunday. Would not occur to them to return it to it's previous state. Also remember stock cars running on centre green at Owlerton despite repeated requests not to do so as it was used by a local football team. Clearly have no consideration for others.

Per retro speedway 84 venues shut in 70 years.

Electricity and bikes probably, sadly not too sure about speedway.

Cricket scenario simply explained. If teams draw they get 5 points. However unlike any other sport a draw does not mean both sides finished equally. It means they did not finish at all. In cricket if you finish equally it is a tie, unlike snooker where a tie is what the players wear round their neck.

Or a typical oldie fan who's memory is failing

Perhaps speedway should follow golf and make the lowest scorer the winner.

And in tennis if you win the first rally you get 15 points, if you win the second you get a further 15, making your score 30, but win the third rally and it's only worth another 10. Anyone explain that?

Really. In rugby you can deliberately put your opponent on the floor. Not sure too many referees would allow this in speedway.

Greyhound racing at Sheffield Tuesday nights.

Why can not Sheffield speedway make a statement to explain the contradiction on their website? Or would they prefer everyone to turn up on the wrong date and have no gate receipts when it is staged. The fans are not the enemy.

Did they tell you when it would be?

Preview just gone on Sheffield's website.

George Wood won't be riding.

Possibly his tattoos and those things in his ears put them off.

Will be next Wednesday 4th September

Or the loss of so many fans?

Cradley sending a pair with a combined average of 5.53?

Presumably not. Got third in his first ride at Eastbourne tonight

Supposed to be riding at number 2 for Eastbourne tonight.

Just seen the latest line up on Sheffield's website. Looks a lot weaker than the line up on BSPA"s event's page website.

Good job they did not have the start line girls in those days.

Correct ingredients also needed

Play offs now almost certainly not reachable. Wonder if Nicol, assuming he is fit, would replace Ayres at Scunthorpe?
