I genuinely don’t know how everyone gets all the qualification places to that extent.

it is complicated not sure myself  lol some of it is so many riders from each country i think the GP riders are asked if they want to enter it ? and they see who is left ?? Brennan was in it saturday yet today Mulford rode ?? not got clue how he got entry in it way how of is depth ??

The inescapable fact is that UK speedway comes across far too many times like a "social club" rather than a bona fide sporting contest...

As several riders have said...

"It's much more relaxed and fun"...

The play offs are the only time you see racing more akin to what you would expect from a professional sport that has something worth winning....

Yeah for sure it’s more complicated than I care to look into to find out if I’m honest haha it’s like premier league teams qualifying for European trophies this season!

So we are supposed to enthuse about the meeting then? 

Agree, poor crowd compared to a Polish league match and the racing is not at the same level. This not a good advert for speedway which in this country is in its knees.and probably should be kept under wraps until those in charge Learn how to put on a decent form of entertainment. Stop the riders dictating how many aspects of the sport are run and get on with entertaining the paying punter.

The Australian places were allocated on clearl criteria published prior to Australian Championship.

Top 2 in Aussie Champ (Kurtz and J Holder) + Oceanic Champ (Tungate)

C Holder [3rd in Aussie Champ] replaced injured Brady Kurtz in a late change
