Perhaps the fact that the last meeting at Rye was on Saturday 15th and the next is Sunday 23rd, generally this rule prevented guests appearing at the same track every week on the same day. It now seems to confirm that the actual race day (Saturday) is counted as day 1 which makes Sunday week as day 9, if Lakeside had planned to stage this next Saturday then Barker clearly would have been ineligible.

Panthers meet home and away (Providing the weather allows) for a semi final place against Scunthorpe, following a planned 2.00pm start at Lakeside the action moves on to 7.00pm at Peterborough. The weather forecast for Peterborough has improved over the last 24 hours and it’s now looking more promising this will go ahead. teams Peterborough - Barker, Grondal, Wilson Dean, Palm Toft, Ostergaard, Stewart, Lambert. Lakeside - Lawson, Morley, Ellis, Newman, Summers, Wajtnecht, Bowtell.

Interesting that the Newcastle match report doesn’t mention why Lindgren was missing either.

Very possibly, but then at least this way both clubs get the bonus of good support at either venue

Peterborough v Lakeside is Sunday 7th October at 5.00pm

Or the MC for some reason allow the team a facility even though their own rules don’t allow it.

I have also discussed it with several of our riders over the years, only Henning Bager actually liked the place. i am sorry for the fans that it’s closed though, it’s never good to see a track shut down and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Not quite sure when Lakeside opened but I must have been 20 or 30 times at least over several decades, it’s never been any different.

And did Lakeside ever change.

To be fair that’s been the Rye circuit for decades.

Again “hardly matters” doesn’t cut it. The BSPA MC making it up as we go along is half the reason why nobody takes this sport seriously and why it’s in the mess it currently finds itself.

You are either allowed a facility for a Polish D2 match or your not, play off or rearranged fixture doesn’t come into it, Yet another classic example of rule bending/breaking to suit a team or person.

I thought Klindt rode for a Polish Div 2 team, if that’s the case why are they getting a facility. Extraleague and Div 1 only was agreed by the BSPA.

I can think of a lot of fans thinking exactly the same, this should have had an earlier start time. They haven’t exactly done their best to attract Newcastle fans either.

Looks to be a cracker after the Tigers demolished the Monarchs, Glasgow could really cause a flap with the others if they win thursday

I thought both guests were good on Sunday as Jorgensen covered for Nicholls well.

I am not sure a 9pm start on Saturday will attract too much travelling support. Do Rye have a time curfew

Lakeside away now in the fixtures as the second part of a double header at Rye House on Saturday 15th September.

I do wonder if the start Marshall was just doing what he was told. This GP was dreadful although clearly a fair bit of that was down to the weather which had left the track in a dreadful state, but from the gate processions do nothing to encourage support in fact rather the opposite. Unfortunately with little racing last night it highlighted a dreadful decision by a referee and this isn’t the first dreadful mistake by a referee this year. The FIM need to get a grip on this now because poor GP,s and poor referees make for poor attendances. If the FIM have tightened up on gardening at the start then they should come clean and say so. Last nights GP hasn’t exactly tempted me to attend Krsko in the future which is a shame because friends have enjoyed GP,s there in the past.

Light cloud and a fresh breeze is the forecast although it shows 21c at around start time, it’s currently quite bright and looks to be a reasonable day.

To be fair it’s nice to see the SCB taking a stance for a change, especially against the BSPA vice chairman Its also interesting that nothing official has been released about the matter either, not from Scunthorpe or the SCB.

Doesn’t look like any of Lakesides riders have made the trip either

I can think of a lot of riders to which that applies

Hopefully just postponed

I think most people understand that it’s the why that’s still to be revealed.
