Workington V Somerset (pl) 19:00hrs 03/09/16


Recommended Posts

The online ticket sales aren't available this season, was costing too much for little usage.

 

The fixture against Glasgow on Sat will be the only one, Somerset won't be coming. We are close to be able confirming the rearrangement for that.

 

And yes Redcar couldn't bring a full team on a Saturday until the 1st Oct. If we are still in contention for the play offs come next Monday morning this fixture will be rearranged for an off race night before the cut off date.

 

 

Thanks Dan, think there will be a good contingent of us coming down, looking forward to it!

This not having full Teams nonsense has to cut out.Fixture lists adhered to free dates before cut -off should be used.Blank race days just harms the sport.Some teams hardly had a fixture in July that's a joke .

 

sadly this is the mess we have got into by having riders in all different leagues and letting them put those leagues first. I agree that too many teams had blank dates when it seemed to be logical to have matches on.

 

As to teams not riding with their full team, it Is a two sided argument using Worky v redcar as an example Worky obviously need to get match on, but would P'bro/Sheffield/Ipswich be happy if Redcar rolled up with 2 NL riders in lineup because regular riders had other commitments which didn't allow for guest or r/r. (And I know that in this example it probably would make little difference, but principle is the same), also would it have a detrimental effect on attendance level, due to off race night and fans not paying to watch redcar NL select team?

Sadly it is a mess.
