  1. A Championship individual event won't take priority over the Premiership Grand Final
  2. The relevant regulation is so poorly written that any barrister would drive a coach and horses through it '012.1.11Leaving the Track A rider whose machine crosses the inner edge of the track with 2 wheels must be disqualified unless, in the opinion of the Referee, the action was taken in the interests of safety for other riders or the rider involved was forced off course by another rider' No doubt we all interpret that as the part of the tyre ( not wheel) in touch with the track, as I'm sure does every referee - but that isn't what it says. What about the rest of the wheel? (Similar to a football analogy - the whole of the ball must be over the whole of the line). The only people who would make money if Scunthorpe followed your advice would be the legal profession as usual.
  3. 5 venues in Manchester carry the 'national' prefix I can't speak for all the sports but plenty of major cycling events take place at the London and Glasgow velodromes. It's just a funding and prestige thing for Manchester City Council. I don't know why people get so worked up about it. What all clubs should be doing is building relationships with the relevant local Government bodies to explore partnerships and funding opportunities, and to explore how the club can be beneficial to the Council https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+sports+arenad+in+Manchester+carry+the+title+'national'&oq=how+many+sports+arenad+in+Manchester+carry+the+title+'national'&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTM1MjIzajBqNKgCAbACAQ&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8
  4. Nothing as yet. I also emailed the SGP EMAIL address, but they just referred me back to the Torun email address
  5. No response from either so far. I'll follow up again in the morning and post on here if I get any info. If all else fails we'll just have a longer lunch!
  6. I have emailed Torun, but no reply as yet Thanks for the additional info
  7. I've got tickets for the SGP at Torun. I can't find any info on whether separate tickets are required for qualifying and the sprint race. Has anyone got any info they could direct me to please? Thanks
  8. Has anyone seen if any TV viewing figures have been released by ITV for the British Final, or know if they will be?
  9. So that's a bit more than 'monitoring the situation '. Good to hear
  10. Shouldn't BSPL be doing something active ( such as engaging with Deane Wood) rather than monitoring the situation?
  11. As per the regs 014.8 CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUE RIDERS 014.8.1 Qualifying Criteria The number 1 rider from each team and additional riders will be determined by MA from the green sheets. A total of 16 riders ensuring all teams are represented. This will determine the line up for the Championship League Riders
  12. It's crazy that British Speedway thinks it is more credible to use guest riders rather than a genuine replacement for a rider with a season ending injury. Of course, the regulation was changed after Belle Vue did that ( when the regs allowed it - unintentionally or otherwise) to bring in Robert Lambert to replace the injured Max Fricke a few years ago.
  13. Can you provide the detail of the rule ( regulation) number that says that please?
  14. It's been like that for ever. It's part of history It's also an SCB trophy not a BSPL one. I'm no fan of BSPL but don't blame it for things not of its making.
  15. If you are talking about the wrong spelling of Championship on the trophy ( last h and I transposed) then I believe you will find that is what is on the actual trophy rather than an AI error
  16. Congratulations to whoever has pulled that off. British Speedway now needs to make it an event that brings the crowds in
  17. I think there needs to be some clarity on whether Dan is intending to take part or not. If he is then ticket sales might get a boost. If he isn't, and people have bought tickets based on him being in the draw, then there might be some negative reaction. Transparency required
  18. News from Spedeworth that it has been given immediate notice that no further meetings can take place https://spedeworth.co.uk/news2.php?id=4549
  19. Personalised the regs 010.3.1 Transfer Window No team changes will be allowed once that team has completed 75% of their fixtures in the following competitions, not including semi-finals and finals: - • Premiership League • Championship League & BSN Series combined Except riders returning to the team after injury who can only replace their original replacement. Not applicable in the British Development League.
  20. Does he ever give a reason for saying no?
