Firestone1 Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM 28 minutes ago, Neila said: 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.

On 3/23/2025 at 9:42 AM, CTD26 said: 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. On 3/23/2025 at 9:52 AM, SaddlebowRoad said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/22/2025 at 7:38 PM, IainB said: 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
