first it wasnt the first PL match on sky nor was it the last so dont see your point
the problem with the track was as much political as aboiut the track, the main complainer seems to have a problem with sheffield and has tried at other times to cause problems.
you say we need to attract sponsers, when sheffield did this steachman and others refused to have the match sponsers on the handlebars (not bike covers) so whats the point of attracting sponsers when the riders dont want to advertise them?
sam ermolemko, an ex world champion dont forgot, could see nothing wrong with the track at all, he said it was a mans track that day
you seem to think that birmingham doesnt have any home track advantage, its well known that you have a problem with sheffield so i will accept that this view is based on that fact
ashworth was a worthy winner on a track that has got so much home track advantage that we have lost three or four at home and drawn one, that advantage seems to have disapeared a little this season
the meeting will only be held on a neutral track when there is enough support from all the fans who want it at neutral venue. until then sheffield it is get over it.
PS dont seem to remember all this fuss when Hyde Road used to be the home of the BLRC for so long,
