That's piss poor planning from the league. Expand Not really, the riders championship is taking place on a day no clubs race on (Sunday), while the pairs is the day before Cardiff, I'm sure no club would want to race on that day for fear of small crowds. Nevertheless, pre-season the authorities wouldn't have seen a situation with league fixtures still needing run, as clubs only had 8 home league meetings to fit in?

Jaizer Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Riders pulling out these events is nothing new. Roynon "guested" in last year's pairs, and 2nd year it was held in Glasgow we had to run a B team as rye house couldn't scare up 2 riders fancied the journey. Thus ended Glasgow hosting the pairs. If started banning riders would be running more guests than ever before. The shared events don't hold same prestige did even 10 years ago imo. Not sure fans even that bothered with them anymore, I know I've not been to any in 7 or 8 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Nicholls and Howarth out now. Replaced by Thomson and Castagna. Real shame about the drop outs but still plenty of good riders around Redcar to make it worth watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
