    Apparently not - will have to pay via Lions TV to watch. BSN have just posted on Facebook saying meeting scheduled will now be replaced by Leicester v Belle Vue on 23/07.

    Just looked at the BSN website where it is still showing as going ahead via their platform. Guess we'll find out for sure in 25minutes or so.

    The Poole promotion were quoted as saying, when they signed him, that they knew he would miss some meetings at weekends but would do their best to work around it to minimise it..

    Given he already had a Polish contract, Poole are secondary in priority...

    The Aces ride Monday and Thursday so shouldn't clash...

    Poole didn't have to sign him, knowing he would 100% miss meetings...

    No one held a gun to their head..:D

    Lodz are at Ostrow on August 13th, the same day as Belle Vue are due at Northampton, so I don't know what happens then.

  3. Is anyone else experiencing a problem getting onto the forum?

    My bookmarked website link on longer works (unable to connect). If I try via google search, I get a different message to the effect that the website is unsafe but can gain access via box marked 'advanced' but then have to repeat the process each time I move to a different topic.

    He was a crazy signing for Plymouth last year with all his weekend Polish commitments. Here’s hoping that, for as long as Redcar need him, he’ll be available. 

    Riding for Krakow (third tier) and all fixtures for that league are scheduled on Sundays so shouldn't be an issue.

    Danish fixture clashes are more likely when Redcar are in action on Wednesdays during visits to Poole and Oxford.

    Perhaps they won't get the choice

    It's the British Final and should get full priority

    It is and it does.

    Riders likely to be involved:

    Richard Lawson, Lewy Kerr, Dan Thompson, Anders Rowe, Craig Cook, Scott Nicholls and, possibly, Ben Barker, Dan Gilkes, Vinnie Ford plus any others I have missed out!

    Speedway Regs 14.1  relating to the British Final includes this paragraph:

    A Rider who withdraws will not under any circumstances be permitted to participate in any other speedway event on the same date

    Why are you so certain of this may I ask?

    Looking at the relevant rules section it doesn't state anywhere the 25% is a one off? If he was allowed to drop back into the scheme then surely all the same rules will apply?

    The penultimate paragraph appears to imply a rider will only receive this discount once.

    Fits fine.     (Get a new calculator!)

    Jack Holder    9.08
    Josh Pickering    7.76
    Chris Holder    6.84
    Anders Rowe    5.22
    Leon Flint    5.06
    Jye Etheridge    3.00
    Luke Killeen     R/S
        
     Total              36.96

    Calculator is fine. Just the idiot operating it. Failed to apply full 25% discount to Flint's average.

    Can’t see it been anything different to this. I’d prefer Tobi on his average over Chris but don’t think we can afford Jack, Picko and him in same team 

    With the announcements already made you won't be able to have both Chris Holder and Josh Pickering as it would take it 1.47 over the points limit.

    I can't see anything in the Regulations that permits a club to just choose the 'no facility' route.

    Does this mean they are applying to SCB for special dispensation each time,  and it is being granted? 

     

    I expect they are looking at the logistics of getting to an airport which has a flight to Poland (Warsaw probably) then a 31/2 drive to Poznan for a 12pm start (UK time)
