True, although the other four fixtures haven't been announced at all, so I'm expecting one on October 20th or something daft. All the best Rob

But you don't need to beat them on aggregate - just get the three points off them at your place, and then whatever Edinburgh do against Workington, you just need to beat it e.g. if Edinburgh take six points off Worky, then you take seven. All the best Rob

Nope for 1st and 2nd. All about who performs in the next six meetings. Edinburgh and Somerset peaked too early. All the best Rob

No confidence in reaching the final, then, Najjer? Can't say I blame you - it's all set for a Scorpions vs Bandits final All the best Rob

October 3rd Scunny fixtures here: http://scunthorpescorpions.co/?p=1976 All the best Rob

See you in the final All the best Rob

I am going tonight, but don't care too much what happens in the meeting, as long as the Scunny boys stay safe. Low-key meeting ahead of some much bigger ones. All the best Rob

Rose-tinted spectacles. Speedway was run no better in the seventies than it is now... or have you forgotten meetings being staged in November, a final being staged before a semi-final (1978 Midland Cup) or seasons starting with guests on both sides because of the fallout caused by Rider Control and riders being allocated where they didn't want to go??? All the best Rob

Thanks. And then the winners of the semi meet Plymouth/Ipswich in the final. Probably heading for an Edinburgh vs Ipswich final then. All the best Rob

What's this? A quarter or semi final? All the best Rob

Marvyn Cox, Hans Nielsen, Jens Rasmussen, Chris Mills, Craig Branney, David Smart, Todd Wiltshire, Jan Staechmann, Lawrence Hare and Bruce Penhall, with a special mention to Mick Fletcher because he took me around the track on his bike for my 8th birthday. All the best Rob

And I'm baffled how you think 13 is one less than 13 (Hint: Leicester ) I see your point... but at the same time, please consider 2013, when there weren't enough fixtures. I do like the idea of replacing the extra four league fixtures with 4TT qualifying rounds... these used to be a big money-spinner for clubs and it's daft that they were stopped. All the best Rob

And how about 2013, when there were less fixtures and several clubs finished their fixtures too early? Right number of fixtures this year. Just because Workington and Peterborough have call-offs thanks to missing pieces of medical equipment and highly mysterious "health & safety" issues, should not be allowed to take meaningful fixtures away from the other clubs. I hope promoters don't have the same knee-jerk reaction as yourself. All the best Rob

Glad to see the matter resovled on track, rather than in a boardroom. All the best Rob

Waco, just a helpful tip: if you use full editor on the opening post, it is possible for you to change the title. All the best Rob

That's not enough fixtures! Last year, they weren't enough and Scunny completed their home meetings on August Bank Holiday This year's fixture list does provide the right number of fixtures - but when clubs only stage three home meetings in three months, they are going to get into trouble! Plus August was exceptional this year, we're used to the British weather being awful, but not in that month. All the best Rob

Getting your excuses in early? All the best Rob

It is, once you know the size of the fine. All the best Rob

Well done to Joe Jacobs on his performance last night. Had the Panthers kept the Brit, rather than signing the rubbish German, it would be them heading for the play-offs rather than Workington. All the best Rob

Both meetings MUST still to staged... after the cut-off. Season not over until October 31st. All the best Rob

I don't think it's been mentioned on this thread, so hoping Flyin' Ryan had a good 21st today. All the best Rob

Benji Compton at No 6 for Scorpions. All the best Rob

Spinny, you might win something this season yet (although Rye are doing their best to deny you) All the best Rob

But Lewis Blackbird is not a new signing. And if it's blocked just use him as a guest, on the account he's still in Eastbourne's declared line up All the best Rob

Yes, it was a double-header mopping up a Mildenhall home fixture and Newport home fixture if I recall correctly. Around the year 2000. Peterborough won the league in a last-header decider - 45-44? But another precedent to stagings meetings on neutral tracks if they can't be held on the home team's track. All the best Rob
