Steve55 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes the powers that be have taken it away from a venue central to the nation and put it as far north as they could Hope you get a good turn out for the contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhand Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 As far as I'm aware, Scunthorpe, Sheffield and Glasgow put themselves forward to host the competition. It's was then voted on by all championship clubs, Scunthorpe received one vote and it was quite close between the other two with Glasgow just coming out on top.

topsoil Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'm looking forward to the Riders Championship being at Glasgow this year. On a selfish note, it's closer for me than Sheffield. The Glasgow PR people do an excellent job promoting the club, you only have to look at social media and the national newspapers up here to understand that. I'm sure they will go into overdrive for this one. Plus you start to see teams being filled up now and there are some damn good riders in this league. Craig Cook, Sam Masters (if he re-signs for Edinburgh), Richard Lawson, Lewis Bridger, Robert Lambert, Danny King, Jason Garrity, Josh Grajczonek, the Worralls, it will be a cranking line up. I haven't been to Ashfield since the improvements got carried out. hoping to get at least once next season. Seen it on TV and the racing looks great. If the event was to get moved from Sheffield, it makes sense to move it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 It's good for Glasgow to get this meeting,the only criticism I have of the Stadium is the viewing on the back straight, the layout ot the terracing makes very restricted viewing at some parts.If there is a large crowd it might be a concern.Imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkbandit Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'll miss the New Barrack Tavern next year, but not the four hour drive home next day feeling worse for wear, haha. Last train home for me then.....maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 To be fair I think that the time is right for the PLRC to change venue. Personally I am not fan of individual meetings and the last couple of years I have seriously thought about not going to the meeting, but because it is at my home track and the fact that I have had friends coming down and gives me a chance to meet up with them and have a beer or two. Will I got to Glasgow, probably not, but you never know I might just have a change of heart, and experience a bit of the Scottish hospitality. But I definitely think that the Scottish fans and thos efrom the far North deserve a chance to have a venue for the event closer to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I've been to a couple of Plrc lately and wouldn't have gone next year at Sheffield as the two I went to were rubbish, went to Glasgow last year and loved it so will be at the clrc next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 gp been at cardiff for years and 4's at peterborough and the pairs at somerset all of them just down the road for us proper northeners im sure glasgow will get a decent crowd for the riders championship after all glasgow, edingbrugh, redcar, berwick, newcastle and workington are all closer than what fans have had to travel for the bspa meetings thats been southern bassed for last few years down south Take your point it is about time it is more central for the teams that participate , I wouldn't mind if the fours meeting was moved away from the showground altogether and given to say Workington or Berwick or maybe Newcastle, it doesn't make sense holding it in the south when most teams are northern based. To be quite honest I'm not a great lover of the competition and much prefer team racing . I would rather be compensated with the occasional international match featuring England v Danes, Swedes, or aussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 im not saying any should be mooved im saying whats the difference between 1 being south and 1 being north theres always fans that have to travel longer distance than others dont think they should be same tracks year after year mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
