Why?  berwicks 1st meeting is Easter Saturday press and practice is a publicity event, so the next weeks meeting is fresh in people's mind, if held now it's 3 weeks to the season start and people forget. Yes worky has p+p next week,  but it's 1 week before the pairs

Berwick's choice to have their P&P then, management's decision when to hold a major event shouldn't be dictated by the fact a club hasn't had their publicity event or it's been a while between the two.

Not as Farcical as running it during the season when half the field are second strings.

But people complained about riders pulling out of the rider championship last season and were up in arms!

No wonder British speedway can’t win, people just love a good twine.

a prime example that you just cant please everybody

personally i think it makes a lot of sense to hold it early when everybody will (should) be there 

I don't agree with running it so early in the season, but understand the idea behind it, to have a strong field. But not every club has fielded their top 2 riders, which seemed to be the whole point of the early date.

One of another many ridiculous decisions 

Holding a major event virtually pre season !!

Seems crackers to me.

Probably to do with Poland 🇵🇱 

They could easily work around Poland. For example the Polish final is held over 3 rounds, I'm pretty sure there won't be any Extraliga matches on those 3 Sundays.

Could have chosen to hold any of the British Final / British Semi final / Championship riders Championship / Championship Pairs / Premiership riders Championship / England vs Australia test match / Premiership Pairs / Championship Fours.

With so many clubs having so few fixtures, I can't understand why they don't hold more of these "shared events" - well I do, it's about money.

But I can remember when there were packed crowds at Coventry / Peterborough / Somerset for the British Final / Fours / Pairs, seems such a shame that this is no longer the case.

Don’t shoot the messenger. If you’ve got a problem, take it up with the promotion 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or are prices determined by the BSPL

I think they’re determined by them, seen as though it’s a “major” event

Well, the "dilution of the event" has began already !!   It seems that Peter Kildemand will not be participating due to a concussion injury sustained at Oxford ?

Wonderful (NOT !)
