FIXTURES SUSPENDED IN RESPECT FOR ROYAL FAMILY

BRITISH Speedway can confirm out of respect to the Royal Family, no fixtures will take place on Monday September 19.

The domestic programme will resume this week, starting with the Championship play-off quarter-final between Plymouth and Poole on Tuesday.

Clubs will be marking the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with black armbands, periods of silence and the playing of the National Anthem.
Our thoughts remain with King Charles III and the Royal Family, and as a sport we will stand with the nation in mourning at next Monday’s funeral.

DATES and venues have been confirmed for the Premiership play-off semi-finals.

The four qualifying teams have been decided, with Ipswich and Belle Vue being joined by Sheffield and Wolverhampton after the Tigers won at King’s Lynn last Thursday.

The exact line-up for the semi-finals is still to be established, as this depends on the league positions at the cut-off date, which is the conclusion of fixtures on Thursday September 22.

The league leaders will face the fourth-placed team over two legs in the semis, with second place facing third.
Semi-final dates:
Monday September 26 – Wolverhampton v TBC
Thursday September 29 – Ipswich v TBC
Monday October 3 – Belle Vue v TBC
Thursday October 6 – Sheffield v TBC
