archie21 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 After reading two articles in this weeks Speedway Star Jason Doyle says there has been talk of the Premiership Clubs racing on a Monday and Thursday. Rob Godfrey believes that fixed race days will happen and that the Championship Clubs should stay away from these two days and by doing so riders doubling up to the premiership league would work. So if Mondays and Thursday are used in the Premiership League as it stands as of today One team race Mondays and One on Thursdays, with Three other teams having Monday or Thursdays as there second night, leaving Three teams without a declared race night. Would these teams have to go to the local council to request a change of nights if the landlords of the venues can fit in a change? Then theirs the Championship League Three teams race on a Thursday but only one having Monday as their second night and rents the ground from a landlord. I don't think that they will be allowed to change because of the stadiums use. IMO something does need to be done with having set race nights BUT PLEASE PLEASE don't make it so teams must apply to any council for a change of race night as it only takes one person to object as happened in Hull ( Craven Park ) with the Air Horns getting banned. The person worked in the council building and knew who to get on side when they where discussed at a council meeting hence the ban!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 It's obvious GB speedway has to take step back to go forward again IMO .They will probably come up with another harum scarum scheme .Probably bribe a another couple of Clubs to step up.Lose a couple saying all is well,and forget about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting, I was told Preston Road residents were encouaged to complain in order for HCC to provided them with free double glazing. This apparently inlcuded propriators of the take away at the traffic lights with Marfleet Lane, who did very good buisness indeed on Wednesday nites. Thing is, I know people living 2 streets away from Craven Park and they mostly couldn't hear the speedway, often they would ask me if the Vikings were even riding at home that week....
