Neil Machin (then co-promoter at Sheffield) was a great advocate for a 'Match of the Day' type highlights programme. I can't remember why it didn't get 'off the ground,' but I wouldn't be surprised if money didn't play a part.
Slightly off topic, but Berwick have announced that they are going to be filmed all year for a documentary.

You know what you're getting with the 5 riders signed so far. The latest two will give you 100% each and every race and with Ash, Robbo and Ludde, we should have some terrific racing at Brough Park this season, no matter who the last two signings are.
Just shy of 13 and half points left for those two spots Which way to go (depending on whose available)? An 8 and a 5? A 7 and a 6? A 10 and a 3 or a 9 and a 4 (I'll not be holding my breath on that two! LOL)??
Of course it is, but, I'm still to be convinced that Sheffield and Peterborough have been the only tracks willing to host the PLRC (as it was) or the Fours for the last few years (up until last year when the CLRC was switched to Glasgow).
It's a "Shared Event," so, surely, it should be 'shared around' the tracks?
It can get a bit boring going to the same place for the same event every year (PLRC etc), so a different place, for me, anyway, is good.
