Wildcat Willie Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 According to the BSPA site, Plymouth are no longer hosting the fours event in August for whatever reason. May I suggest this meeting is or could be offered to Stoke . Looking through the BSPA fixture list, it has Stoke down for an open fixture that evening. Being in the middle of the country and a neutral venue this would also keep some quaters happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyham Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 After speaking to the people in the know in Plymouth, I can confirm that this is true due to complaints being recieved with reference to traveling to Plymouth, and costing to much money. So it has been moved to a more central location, of which at this moment in time I do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribbler Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) After speaking to the people in the know in Plymouth, I can confirm that this is true due to complaints being recieved with reference to traveling to Plymouth, and costing to much money. So it has been moved to a more central location, of which at this moment in time I do not know. Mike Bowden does not read forums - from what I gather but the only complaints I can remember on here were about the Southern clubs getting Pairs, Fours and Bronze Helmet - not specific complaints about Plymouth getting the Fours. I'm probably wrong though - someone will probably point out it was my fault Scunthorpe is too far North I suppose- although it's only had one rain off this year and the date looks free. Having read BSPA I presume that the complaints were from Clubs so that's me in the clear then Edited July 9, 2008 by scribbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read BSPA I presume that the complaints were from Clubs so that's me in the clear then There's only EIGHT teams in the division..: so it would be a nonsense, frankly, to describe any track as either too far north or too far south. The tracks are, er, where they are!! Scunny did an excellent job staging the Pairs before so it would have my vote (and I'm based in the south!!) for the Fours!! Though don't get me wrong, so would Plymouth!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Bins Sidekick Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 As Sittingbourne seem to be struggling couldn't the league help them out with this fixture. I've never been there so I have no Idea what its like and if the track is capable of staging A Prestigeous Event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Willie Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 As Sittingbourne seem to be struggling couldn't the league help them out with this fixture. I've never been there so I have no Idea what its like and if the track is capable of staging A Prestigeous Event I would totally agree with that and my own personal opinion ( nothing to do with the Club), is that all the clubs should waive the shared bit. Lets face it after expences etc there aint a lot left to go around anyway. I'm sure the other clubs would lend a hand if needed, i'm damn sure we would. Sittingbourne and Buxton are always our favorite destinations. Scribbler please feel free to moan on about it being a Southern Track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJT Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Can not understand moving a shared event from a track that attracts one of the boggest crowds in the league. Is this really in the interests of all the clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this really in the interests of all the clubs? I gues that if you live in the area it's OK - even during the holiday period . With no motorway links, busy roads at weekends and the cost of fuel and travel expenses (having read Jason Pipe's problems with the cost for the Bronze Helmet at easier-to-get-to Weymouth) it might be difficult for clubs less well off to be able to afford to send riders to Plymouth - especially Sittinbourne at this worrying time for them. And let's not forget the weather This 'summer' it's been more Sunny North and Rainy South 'cos I've spent the last few Fridays sat in my garden in the sun when Plymouth have had their rain-offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Give it to Sittingbourne or Buxton. Flippin 'eck Fireblade, you are I agreeing on something for the first time ever, I reckon we must both be guilty of hitting the bottle My choice under the current circumstances would be Sittingbourne, but I would travel to either if it was held on a Sunday. Cya Sunday at the Norfolk Arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
