He wouldn't go home on Friday would he? There's no way he would miss a Panthers meeting were they to qualify for the KO Cup Final!

LEICESTER: Kim Nilsson, Michael Palm Toft, Pawel Przedpelski R/R, Erik Riss, Danny King, Cameron Heeps, James Sarjeant. SHEFFIELD: Nick Morris, Todd Kurtz, Ty Proctor, Josh Bates R/R, Lasse Bjerre, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood.

Anything seems possible in Speedway at the moment.

Promotion and relegation can't work under the current structure, so there's no benefit in doing it.

Teams for 2nd leg:- IPSWICH: Danny King, Mason Campton, Cameron Heeps, Kyle Newman (if fit), Rory Schlein R/R, Nathan Greaves, Connor Mountain. SHEFFIELD: Scott Nicholls, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth R/R, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. See post above for later changes.

Nowhere near as good IMO. A few more nails in the coffin, and it will have sunk almost to the level currently occupied by the likes of Corbyn and Abbott. It's a terrible shame.

For me also, Tomasz is one of my favourite riders of all time. Best wishes for the future Tomasz.

SHEFFIELD: Scott Nicholls, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth R/R, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. IPSWICH: Danny King, Justin Sedgmen R/R, Cameron Heeps, Kyle Newman, Ben Barker, Nathan Greaves, Connor Mountain.

Sick and shameful. These trolls should get back to doing what they do best, which is sponging off the State, thieving and licking the sewers. The Promotions were placed in an unenviable position by a decision that wasn't thought through properly at the BSPA AGM last November. I hope there is enough evidence that could lead to legal proceedings against the trolls. Don't let them win, because Sheffield have had their best season for a long time. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your efforts.

Exactly. The biggest load of tripe since there were 4 tripe stalls in the local market.

Still no announcement about a ban for Jack Holder.

I assume that they are waiting to see how the KO Cup matches against Ipswich go.

1st Leg. SHEFFIELD: Scott Nicholls, Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth R/R, Jan Graversen, Georgie Wood. LEICESTER: Kim Nilsson, Lewis Kerr, Pawel Przedpelski R/R, Erik Riss, Danny King, Cameron Heeps, Kyle Newman.

From the Speedwaygb web site:- EASTBOURNE star Jake Knight has been banned for the clubs next two home matches following his non-appearance at the NLRC last weekend. Knight missed the Leicester showpiece citing a lack of a serviceable engine following a meeting at Belle Vue the previous evening. The Eagles have drafted in Ben Morley to guest in this Saturdays KO Cup semi-final against Plymouth, but no guest will be possible in the play-off clash with Kent one week later as Knight will no longer be No.1 in the Eagles averages. I feel sorry for the lad. Have any riders in the PL or CL ever been banned for missing BSPA meetings? This ban has been announced fairly quickly, but nothing yet on the Jack Holder farce.

From the Sheffield web site:- Josh Grajczonek is battered and bruised after a nasty spill in Scotland and is desperate to ride – but club chiefs will make an early check with him on the day. Josh Bates was in a horror crash and early fears were of a neck injury – but after a trip to hospital it was confirmed nothing is broken and, like Grajczonek, he wants to ride. Hopes are also high for Lasse Bjerre to race after his spill. Co-promoter Damien Bates said: “It was a nightmare to be honest and it hardly felt like we’d won through to a Grand Final. “Thankfully there is no serious damage but with time short ahead of the first leg at Owlerton we need riders who are 100% fit. We will know more in the morning.”

Best wishes to a honourable man, and one to whom younger riders should do their best to learn from.

The track staff are usually given access to the track between 3.30 and 4.00, so it depends on what the slop is like, as it is still raining. No more rain forecast after about 5.00, so given the circumstances for this match, no doubt the Promotion will do all they can to get the match on.
