It is a decision that is, in effect, a fine on Lakeside. The mid week fixture will be a financial disaster for the promotion as I doubt the attendance will even merit manning the turnstiles!

And Workington too, the whole idea of the play offs was to give clubs a bumper gate and boost the coffers, what chance have Workington or Lakeside got to promote the final, I've agreed with some of Ged's stances in the past but not this one I'm afraid - this selfish behaviour could earn him a seat at the top table if he doesnt sell ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixture planning does not get any worse than this 2018 nonsense.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I would have fancied a trip to Arlington ....... nice little stadium.....plenty of parking space, good resonably priced cafe at the back of the pits area and a good track souvenir shop with a wide selection of speedway books Probably far too much grip on the track for both PBoro and LSide riders 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be interesting to know when your number 1 booked his hollibobs He (BWD) actually informed Peterborough before signing for them that he had surgery scheduled for 27 September and they were happy for him to sign on that basis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would include October. Why are you so interested when he booked his Hollibobs? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
