Shadders 4,134 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Bandits start their Championship campaign this Saturday Early weather forecasts suggest rain all morning and into the early afternoon. Hopefully the track covers are down. Early attendances haven’t looked great apart from the Glasgow and Edinburgh meetings. Hopefully the warmer weather will bring a few more in, but without a significant away support I’m concerned that the plug may be pulled before the season is out. It doesn’t help that they’re going against the first GP of the season, which will no doubt affect the attendance. Hopefully I’m way off, especially with the team starting the season off in decent form with a final to look forward to.

Negative thinking that the plug will be pulled, why has that entered your head? is there any evidence to support such a statement? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, just instinct and experience, having lost the team I supported for 33 years due to financial difficulties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,905 Posted May 16, 2019 Well, on the positive side, in 51 years of half a dozen promotions the only time the Bandits have failed to complete their league programme was the result of direct action by the-then Edinburgh owner (Parker) and not the promotion's willingness to go the distance.

Yip 1981 Barrow, Workington, Glasgow were all used as we tried to keep going plus Newcastle for Cup Final against Edinburgh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,050 Posted May 16, 2019 Those of us who bought season tickets will be pretty cheesed off if the club pull the plug, though this rumour can be put to bed quite easily by a quick press release. As others have said not the greatest forecast for part of Saturday, lets hope we get some racing especially I can only see a home win and a great way to start our Championship season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,050 Posted May 17, 2019 Could be bad news for Berwick but the Danish semi final which was due to be held in Brovst tonight has been cancelled, I haven't seen any re-arrangement announcement but if its held over until tomorrow that will full out NB Jacobsen for Berwick.

Gringo 142 Posted May 17, 2019 I have just had a look in the car park. It looks like Monks Rally are taking up more space than they did last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
