The tail wagging the dog again. Absolute total commercial madness!!! Edited April 14, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And assuming that in the case of doubling up riders precedence would go to the CL teams what would the Ipswich and Peterborough teams look like?

Arch Stanton Posted April 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Was going to say myself that I’m not sure how big a crowd they’d get in once they saw how many guests and R/R being on show. Separating race days/nights between the 2 leagues is a necessary evil at the moment unfortunately with the amount of riders riding in both leagues. Mind you, not sure why this fixture couldn’t have been moved to Monday afternoon? Doesn’t seem to be a stocks meeting coming up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, commercially it should probably be the other way around as the CL has more teams in it they should be running BH Monday's and PL on a Good Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the stock car and hot rod promotion are called Spedeworth! Don't ask me why as Les Eaton, the founder of Spedeworth could not explain the spelling when I asked him in the 1970's.
