This decision is taken in the best interest of the Rider himself and the riders in whatever heat he competes in , it’s not a measure to hurt Leicester its to protect Hans

I’m hoping it rains and the track gets really wet ,let’s see the Pirates crying again

Well it’s semi finals day and Leicester travel to Poole tonight ,I think this will be a lot closer then people will expect . The Lions will be chomping at the bit after being picked by the Pirates for the semi clash at Gaters Paradise ( Wimborne Rd) . Both sides will have guests in there side and it will depend on them on how this tie will go . score forecast Pirates 49 Lions 41

Why should Scunthorpe be thrown out of the competition 1~ they fulfilled all there fixtures before the original cut off date and didn’t need the extension 2- Scunthorpe had medical cover and an ambulance for the first leg So I’m sure it’s Leicester promotion who is at fault ??? please get facts right

What has Godfrey got to do with this ,I’m sure Rob will want the meeting out of the way and close Scunthorpe speedway for the season . Some people are delusional

I’m sure all clubs use volunteer organisations for there ambulance cover and medical staff . This then has to be headed by a fully qualified paramedic , surely there is a St John’s type organisation what would provide a service and be local with a trained paramedic in the same situation . A sad situation when by mid October there will still be two semi finals and a final over two legs still to be raced and it’s mid October

Now you know that the league original cut off date should not have been extended

That is a p*ss poor side ,so glad I won’t be there

Can’t see Dougy been back at the EWR but in Tero and Theo’s absence I’m hoping minimum change to be fair , Ellis will be on a cracking average so if possible let’s sign him up . Rumours circulating that TJ is Redcar bound is possible now that Jake has become a Scunny asset as Iron Scorpion has stated what happens to the rising stars ?? I will go on been 2 young guns in each side so hear goes Adam Ellis ,Jordan Palin,Dan Gilkes Connor Mountain ,Jake Allen ,Simon Lambert Stevie Worrall

I’m sure meetings between promoters up and down the land have already been taken and agreed . But with this season still running in the Premiership and championship getting towards the final playoffs there won’t be any concrete news on next seasons set ups until this seasons finals are complete

Ryan 555 what was the announcement

Anyone go in the clubhouse after the meeting if so what was the announcement ?

Agree 100%. Sides that pushed on with meetings will now have a bigger chance of rain offs in October and potentially lose money on a rain off

If the original cut off dates would have been adhered too by clubs then this weekend would be finals weekend

Scott Nichols is a 9 pt average so won’t work

Broken fingers I think

As Tero and Tommy are injured and Theo is banned are we allowed 3 guests or is it 2 guests and R/R to cover for them , thanks in advance

And others

Think the guest can only come from sides not involved in the play offs and no Tactical ride I think

Totally agree Tero trying to get in and out the country we’re the bulk of his work with inappropriate visa

Rather than point the finger at Rob Godfrey about the visa issue with Tero he has been 100 % truthful , it’s a shame the other promoters who it has affected are very quiet on the subject . Plus it’s a side in the play offs. ?? Rob stated that Tero was having an issue getting in and out the country after riding in foreign meetings and he certainly isn’t the only rider but fire bullets at Rob for telling the truth unlike other sides

Weather looks poor for the home leg ,luckily at Scunthorpe they can race anytime at there track due to no restrictions

Hope the weather stays kind for both legs and the best team wins overall , only visited Leicester once this season and I thought the racing was poor to be honest .Surely when the track was built at Beaumont Leys and they had a blank canvass they would have laid a better shaped track which then produces better racing

Has there been an official reason why Dan Thompson didn’t ride for Leicester today ??

Is it Friday and Saturday this week ?
