2008 Calendar

[Deleted]

It's not really complete though is it Bryn?

Schumi has a short respite before the odd rain-off starts playing hell with those fixtures.

Schumi has created a monster there.

[schumi]

Here's the first one, thanks to Bryn:

Rye House v Mildenhall (PT)
Now Monday 24th March Easter Monday at 2PM not Sat 22nd.

Updated on both the calendar and fixtures list.

[schumi]

Added some of the CL KOC fixtures and a couple of individuals including the GB Under 21 Championship. Can anyone confirm whether the Lincolnshire Cup is still going ahead, because it doesn't look like it to me, but I haven't been able to clarify that yet?

[schumi]

Swindon news (will change it on the calendar tonight or tomorrow)

Okay, updated.

Note to remind myself to try and solve the mystery of the Wolves v PB ELB meeting that was originally scheduled for the 4th August.

[schumi]

Solved the mystery of the Wolves v Peterborough date, whilst I've updated two fixture changes for Reading.

[schumi]

As usual, the Zlomrex Cup in Czestochowa has fallen foul of the weather and has been postponed until the 27th April.

The Mildenhall meeting today has also been postponed.

[schumi]

The Peterborough v Lakeside meeting on the 3rd April has been amended to a Craven Shield fixture, after the rain-off on the 20th March. No date for the ELA fixture it replaces as yet, and I've modified it in the appropriate places.

[braveheart]

The Workington v Glasgow meeting has now been changed to Worky v Edinburgh on Sat 5 April. Thanks to Paulco for letting me know, I will miss you there, Paulco

Any Edinburgh fans going ML, Merlin etc?

[schumi]

I changed it on the calendar last night. The Workington v Glasgow meeting is now on the 19th of April, so I assume the Workington v Newcastle meeting which was originally planned for that day will also be changed.

Sorry Schumi, I was working last night and my eyes are still blurry

[schumi]

No need to apologise. I was actually hoping someone would be able to shed some light on the Newcastle meeting, and also if there's a new date for the Reading meeting that was rained off earlier in the month.

It's really hard, Schumi, as all the websites are out of date. The Reading one, I am assuming you are on about the TVT one v Rye House. Maybe they won't have it now. On the BSPA site, Workington still have Glasgow on Saturday. I would look a right eejit with my Glasgow scarf on at Derwent Park on that night

[schumi]

Edited for confirmation of dates and teams for the SWC (see SWC thread.)

[schumi]

Added the extra international fixtures from the Speedway Star.
