I'd love to see my club promoted in the same way as Barry Bishop's Flying Circus... come to think of it I'd like to see my club promoted in the same way even as an actual circus, posters in local chippies, boards attached to lampposts etc.
Where were the checks and balances though... why was it left until the events at Leicester transpired for any alarm bells to start ringing at the BSPL offices
Easily addressed with the introduction of a clock on the in field like they did in the GP's. I doubt it will happen though as the promoters think that all of that digging about is part of the "action" and it nicely pads out the 15 minutes of real action to cover 2 hours so they think the punter goes home thinking they've had a good value night out.
So what if IoW is a circus... have you seen Nitro Circus? Pulls in the punters... The real Circus are the clowns running the BSPL vehicle until the wheels and doors fall off
