Probably not but on a Saturday night under lights at end of September- this meeting has so much history and deserves more respect from riders and promotions . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark should not be priority over a British fixture for a British rider. Denmark has priority on a Wednesday. It was agreed. Britain has priority on Monday and Thursday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of point having priority on a Thursday, only affects Swindon home meetings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, launch the Speedway Season on the back of it... Run it at the NSS, no better place to 'showcase' the Sport than watching the best riders in domestic speedway riding on such a fantastic race track with modern stadium facilities... Do a fan zone in Mcr City Centre on the Friday and Saturday with all tracks in attendance.... Maybe even run the Championship Riders the day after and make a Speedway Weekend out of it...? (Wouldnt cost too much in hotels for the riders to stay over on Saturday night too as many will have 'qualified' for both meetings!)..

Woz01 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 When was the date for this meeting announced? Perhaps Danish League had their fixtures in before this was announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is what happens when you move the goal posts. Agreed by Polish, Swedish, Danish & British federations that we would have priority on Monday & Thursday. With the rearranged fixtures planned on Wednesday nights it could get worse. Bspa should have stuck to the agreed days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite simple wasn't it? Monday - Britain Tuesday - Sweden Wednesday - Denmark Thursday - Britain Friday - Poland Saturday - Poland Sunday - Poland.. Everyone leaves the meetings with agreed proposals.. Cannot think how it all went wrong.. (Amazed Poland didn't fight for Monday's and give up one of their weekend days)..

Has he broken a nail or doesn't want the embarrassment of finishing down the field. Saying he's withdrawn without a reason leads to speculation. No shows are also one reason i cannot warm to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresham78 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 So Cook doesn't fancy it now, this is becoming a waste of time. Having the meeting pushed around the fixture list doesn't help. There was a time it was towards the end of the season and everybody looked forward to it. Sadly the prestige seems to have gone and the prize money with it I should imagine. Perhaps it's time to consign this fixture to history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 This is all a far cry from those heady days at Hyde road, when this meeting used to be one of the highlights of the season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
