Cook is out Lawson replacement

Thanks, what will happen to the MDL championship? Presume this will not go ahead on the same day.

Just a question about tonight's four team tournament. I thought it was announced at last week's match that Andre Compton would be riding. Did I hear this correctly (not sure all the speakers were plugged in at the time). If so why has this changed?

Any idea of the re-staging date?

Is Josh G injured?. Noticed Somerset used R/R for him Monday.

So why no news about this match. Was going to call at Scunny on my way back from a weekend away, but unless they tell us today about the changes will not bother. Surely one new rider must be known or they would have kept Wilko. Come on let us know, surely you don't want less supporters.

I live near the track. Has been very little rain today. No where near enough for it to be called off. Update on face book about 30 minutes ago said track good.

One match now arranged. Redcar 10 September after Ipswich.

Can use guests or R/R. Not ideal, but at least we can still get points.May as well go down trying rather than failing to qualify because could not be bothered to arrange any matches, or we left it right to the play off deadline, and then got some more rain offs. Could happen.

Really starting to wonder if Sheffield are ever going to arrange dates for their outstanding home matches. Nearly 13 weeks since Edinburgh rained off. If a match takes this long to arrange, the play off semi could be around Christmas, if we qualify. Simple suggestion. Ride Edinburgh 03 August reserved date on fixture list. Ride Redcar 07 September, no fixture on our list for this date, and a free Thursday for Redcar. No need to worry too much about cup semi just yet. The quarter final second leg between Scunny and Peterborough not until 22 September. Think this is really overdue to be sorted out, not forgetting, no guarantees there will not be any more rain offs.

He said Josh didn't ride in this match. Think he confused it with the match at Sheffield

Josh got 7 points in this meeting. No idea about race 3.

Josh and Todd per Twitter for Sheffield

Just trying to think who could be available. Could we have another try for James Shanes? Think he may have to be number 6 now with his Premiership average. Try to persuade JPB back at number 7. Only others I can think of for 6 are Liam Carr, Jan Graversen or Richard Hall at 6.

Anyone know how long Rob Branford is likely to be out, and who is replacing him Thursday (if not fit by then)?

Not sure BSPA got it wrong. With points limit reduced to 40, new NL riders coming in at 2 points, and the potential JPB had shown, I think Sheffield would have wanted him, even if a two pointer was not compulsary. Also think JPB would have progressed if he had stuck with the Tigers, but good luck to him, whatever he does.

Newcastle home match now arranged for August 17th.

Branford missed last night's match for Rye House with a shoulder injury. Seem to recall hearing a few weeks ago was riding with an injury. Wonder if this is the problem.

Workington 44 Sheffield 46

Depends if we want good speedway or a 75 _ 0 victory

Would be nice if they got together and put the same information (preferably correct) on both websites. But this is speedway.

A lovely Thursday night, a backlog of matches, and no speedway at Owlerton. Really wonder. Now 10 weeks since Edinburgh match called off, and still no re-staging date. I believe that both Scunny and Workington, when they had a match rained off, arranged a new date the same day, and rode it next date. Why are Sheffield unable to re-arrange a match??? It has to be done so do it. Also 5 weeks since we went through to KOC semi, 1 week since Redcar called off, and no sign of any news for re-staging dates. Should be getting on with it a bit more. There can be no guarantees that there will not be any more post-poned. Beginning to look like there is no attempt to get matches staged before play off deadines. Only match that appears to have been re-arranged is the Ipswich match for Sunday 10 September, which according to Sheffield website starts at 5.30, but Ipswich say it starts at 7.30. Fed up of waiting and trying to leave my dates free so I can get to Owlerton. I really will consider after many decades of following them, making this my last year.

Just checked greyhound website and on Monday they have afternoon races with the last one starting at 6.18pm so Monday night speedway seems impractical

Thought it was Kerr moving to 1 Auty to 3 and Palm_Toft to 5. Not sure if Kerr is fit after his crash.

Presumably the promoters aware of this when they publish the reserved dates.
