Don't Peterborough and Lakeside race on Fridays too? So let me get this right Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lakeside, Peterborough, Scunthorpe and Workington have Friday fixtures with riders competing in qualifying rounds all over as well. I make that 6 home meetings so there is not enough riders for 12 teams to be in action with guests and R/R? Oh! there are only 11 teams in the league that means at least 1 possibly 2 or 3 can't run on a Friday otherwise there won't be enough riders for the rest (or teams for that matter). "Let's tell those who do not have or gave up their Friday priority they can't run that'll solve it". Never mind Marras you can fill your blank Saturdays instead, start with re-arranging your postponed fixtures; Scunthorpe and Sheffield. Oh! they've already declined your offer of dates then why not go to the Management Committee and get them to force those clubs to come on a Saturday? Oh! those clubs are on the Management Committee, isn't that where this started? Why don't Workington race some meetings on a Friday then?

All I know is Workington applied to change there raceday from Saturday to Friday's and it was declined because Glasgow and Scunthorpe already had it agreed to switch to Friday's at the AGM of the BSPA and it was not attended by your promoter for whatever reason. Exactly , thats "All you know" you haven't a clue what goes on with Worky and fixtures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marksman 528 Posted June 27, 2018 Just looking at the World Cup fixtures, England will most likely be in the Quarter Final of the World Cup to be played at 1900 on Friday 6th July. That would no doubt have a big impact on the crowd for the Berwick meeting next Friday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read the posts then I started this topic by saying THE BSPA HAVE NOW ASKED OR TOLD WORKINGTON to rearrange fixtures that were agreed pre season also 2 clubs who have people on the bspa panel have allready been offered new dates for matches which they have declined It's been the same for previous 2 years for Workington. Teams won't play fair with arranging new dates Workington fans have been told they might have fixture changes at short notice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaramanga 895 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) we have been discussing it if you had read back you wouldn't have had to ask maybe the teams who think they have the right to dictate to this rest of the league are waiting for Workington rider shortage before they agree to fixtures Edited June 27, 2018 by scaramanga 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In July, you already have meetings on the 6th, 13th & 27th. The 20th being the pairs before Cardiff. You also have the 3rd, 10th & 17th of August booked. What dates are free for these 2 teams with BSPA Representatives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazza13 132 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Are they not Friday dates? We have been asked to rearrange to saturdays I believe..and reliably informed that 2 clubs wont agree to saturdays for whatever reason.... Edited June 28, 2018 by shazza13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,149 Posted June 28, 2018 From what we were told on Saturday Workington comets were sent some communication from the bspa to say dispite future fixtures in July and August being agreed and published at the start of the season, they are now saying (bspa) that Workington can't now run on some or all nights due to other teams rider availability or non availability How the hell can the so called controlling body say this and what effects will it have on a Workington buissness plan or fan base, maybe someone can explain how and why it has got to this stage, IMO speedway has very little future if the controling body do things like this, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
