Apparently the cut off is next Tuesday, so they will have to go ahead then.

Poole have provisioned Friday at home if it is rained off tomorrow. Plymouth will have to race next Tuesday as that will be the cut off to get the quarter finals done.

Leon is currently on holiday this week, according to the latest podcast, so that's why couldn't guest.

I guess they were planning to play Leicester in the KOC semi final next Wednesday but the play offs take priority

From the Poole website

Yeah it did seem very similar to his poole crash.

I guess we don't want to be like last year with finals taking place in November. Why not just get on with the meetings? What's the point in delaying things for no real reason? We know the weather is going to start getting wetter from now on.

It was totally overgrown when I was over that way in May

In commentary they said that they think he lifted for far too long and the front wheel was at too much of an angle when he came down, it was a weird fall

Delay before the SF was so the riders could put on new tyres apparently

Yes. They mentioned that last night

Sawdust hasn’t been done away with. Poole used exactly that to dry up certain sections of the track last week to get the meeting with Redcar on.

Yes, they set fire to straw that they put on the track to try and dry it out. Apparently someone then called the fire brigade about it

He'll probably be there, as he only lives down the road, but he won't be riding.

Congratulations to Dan Bewley - what a win

I think the Never In Doubt started off when some "fans" were calling for Josh Grajczonek to be replaced when he had a poor start to a season (2018 I think) and this particular group of fans stuck by him and when he turned his season around the NID thing started.

I guess it must be painkillers as Plymouth have said the following. They must have been told what the drug involved is. “The Club, which made a full statement following the results of the A Test two weeks ago, will make no further comment other than to reiterate that they do not condone the use of illegal drugs in sport or life in any way and will support the SCB and BSPL fully, however we feel that there are well documented medical reasons why Ben took high doses of prescription drugs prior to the random test, and that whilst not mitigating the fact that this is against the rules and contrary to strict guidelines, that it is a scenario that deserves a full explanation and support from Ben’s Doctors. The SCB has called for a hearing with Ben in September, and the Club will do all it can to support all parties in the meantime. The Club will make no further comment but would remind everyone that as the matter will be subject to a formal hearing, that no potentially libellous or slanderous comments made on social media will be accepted, and the Club will reserve the right to take legal advice should any be made or seen specifically regarding the matter.”

Here you go, announced yesterday https://britishspeedway.co.uk/major-events/championship-pairs-line-ups/

Poole have Middlo's testimonial on the 31st

I read this from elsewhere from a reliable source

Middlo has his own business to run on weekends, hence why Havy is used for the northern meets They did work in tandem for the playoffs last season

I think they are restricted to 2000 at present so online tickets is the easiest way to control this.

Yeah it was mentioned at the press conference. Zach said he's happy to stay at 2. I guess Zach was paired with Steve before Danny moved to No 1
