I would say that it's never ideal to run a double header. Don't forget Glasgow are in the Play-offs, so need to keep at least one - maybe two weeks - free for those matches. I would also suggest that the Glasgow promotion can probably take the hit on the potential losses they will endure, unlike most other clubs.
-
TBH it's a bit of a gamble what ever the format, as individual meetings and challenge matches (which a three team tournament would effectively be) aren't as well attended as "proper" matches. Hopefully the riders that are coming will attract the crowd and we are entertained on the day, which is what it's really all about.

That's two league matches, which they arranged to get them in before the cut-off. We are running against Redcar in the league on Sunday - before the cut-off, as I'm pretty sure the BSPA/SCB (whichever!) wanted to happen. Why run a Cup Final six weeks before the season has ended "just to get it in" as a Double Header, when it's been proven in the past at Newcastle, Double Headers are a money loss, as described by Arthur Cross above - and we can have another meeting to look forward to?

Some might suggest we run a Double Header that day then......

I've got heats 1-13 (except heat 5) if that helps! heat 1 63.7. heat 2 64.5. heat 3 64.4. heat 4 65.3. heat 6 65.4. heat 7 65.0. heat 8 64.9. heat 9 65.0. heat 10 64.7. heat 11 64.6. heat 12 64.7. heat 13 64.9.

We don't get ANY of the bar takings. What increased takings at the track shop ( a few extra cups of tea?). Would get more neutral fans wanting to pay £17 for a cup final, than say £30 for a double header including a meeting they have no interest in (in my opinion). It makes no sense whatsoever (again, in my opinion).
-
One set of fans from both clubs and two lots of points money to pay out, though.

No. Financial suicide.

I thought people were saying the track was Sh**e anyway? -
TBH I'd much rather have all the finals at the end of the season - apart from the Shield - rather like they do in footy (League Cup Final March-ish, FA & Euro Cups right at the end) as it should make for an exiting end to the season. Having said that, all the gaps (racing every fortnight) up until July wasn't the brightest idea in my opinion. I blame the fixture compilers

Depends when they can arrange the Cup Final for. It will then be arranged around that.

It never does. I seriously can't remember the PLRC having proper race jackets - ever. -

craigcook111 Riding for the stars tonight, hopefully we’ve figured out the bike problems after a very frustrating evening last night -

I think that's down to the Stadium owners, rather than Sheffield Speedway. It happened a few years ago and Neil Machin (the then promoter at Sheffield) came out to sort it out. -

Berwick v Newcastle , Saturday 31 August 7pm
StevePark replied to George Dodds's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
But not last night (don't know how many others you've missed recently) His home points recently and the fact he was on the pace last night suggests yes he is.
