Truly horrific performance. A familiar pattern with big end of season meetings for so many years now

Ain't karma a bitch!!

Great move by Harris having a few dodgy meetings at the end , especially when the sample size is reduced to 10 meetings - he's obviously not as stupid as he looks

No

Isn't the 17th one of the proposed dates for the pairs meetings?

The fly in the ointment though is the season ending injury statement is with the regulation covering the transfer window It is therefore unclear whether it applies to any time in the season or just within the window but in addition to if a team had already made the 2 allowable changes (or in Sheffields case 3 )

Only Boro riders available - Sheffield race Lynn in the final of the "season opening" League Cup

Yeah it's a nice round number

Surprised no thread started already Would've called this one as too tight to name a favourite a month or so ago but the potential fragility at reserve since Danyon's injury tips it now towards the Aces Witches haven't shown the ability to pick up regular big home wins but this would be the perfect time to pull one out Even a 20 point lead wouldn't make then favourites but would make it very interesting

I will up the required lead needed to 20+

The "in the best interests" regulation would've been invoked and a pools panel style prediction used to complete as desired

Another positive step kicked into the long grass

Agree with that in principle although the other non ridden fixture was also a result of the Sheffield logjam - with them taking every date in the last 2 weeks preventing rearrangement due to opposition clashes

Whenever it is the Witches should aim to get as close to 15 points as possible With just 10 meetings making up 2023 averages 0 from 5 or 6 rides for a couple of riders will make a huge difference to how attractive they are as signings for next season...

Wouldve been time for a double header - probably could fit in the missing heats of the A fixture too......

10 heats run by 8:15 - amazing what can be done when it works in your favour......

Totally shambolic and is part of the reason I (and many hundreds perhaps thousands) no longer attend The "top" league is not even sufficiently organised to get what is about half the traditional number of fixtures run Meetings that have a material impact on finishing positions and therefore the pairings for the league title deciding play offs not being run within cut off timescales is simply unacceptable at any level of sport let alone a fully professional top level

Or likes fairytales........ sadly may be more appropriate in the circumstances to believe in them

The play off semi will be 2500+ If the Witches make the final you will see 4000+ What is needed of course is to find the trick to turn a good proportion of these extras into regulars.....

Think this is pretty genuine - the forecast is horrific However also convenient as at least 3 pairs could've been affected by rearranged Polish play off.....

Same applies to the whole set up of British Speedway......

Unfortunately I can see that being the case too which would be a great shame for an event that has the potential to be a proper showcase

Ever the optimist

There should be mandatory disclosure in situations such as this

Ooo - I like that one
