Fingers crossed the track issues are sorted, that they stay sorted and Plymouth thrive in the Championship next year.

Good night's racing,riders full of praise for the track particularly Richard Lawson who said it was better than the last time he came down to plymouth  4or 5 yrs ago hopefully championship next season and that standard of racing every week. 

Nights racing? 8 heats and a final plus a failed 2nd half i hope that it was reduced entry as that is hardly value for money. Hopefully the top end talent on show will be enough to draw the crowds next season.

I asked Richard about the track and how it was last night against the last time time he was down here and the reply was better.

I’m posting this up again as it got bumped back whilst it was waiting to be approved for moderation:

 

Barker will ride for Plymouth next year if approved for the move up

Championship application rejected at BSPA AGM. No clear reason at this stage. Guess that means another season in the NL.

It appears that they had to withdraw their application due to increased costs and bonds needing to be paid immediately. They are looking to reapply in 12mths time.

Let us hope the NL can move forward next year with The real job of developing young British riders for the future

Has this slant on it come from Plymouth or the BSPA?

Surely Plymouth knew the criteria before they applied?

Did they know they couldn’t meet the conditions or did the BSPA impose new ones so they could favour Poole and Kent?

Goalposts moved it seems ;

'THE MANAGEMENT OF PLYMOUTH GLADIATORS SPEEDWAY ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEIR APPLICATION TO JOIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUE IN 2020 HAS PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION; BUT THE CLUB IS DETERMINED TO BUILD TOWARDS A FURTHER APPLICATION IN 12 MONTHS TIME.

HAVING BEEN GRANTED PERMISSION TO PUT ITS CREDENTIALS TO THE SPORTS GENERAL COUNCIL AT THE AGM HELD IN COVENTRY THIS WEEK, THE REQUIREMENT OF NEW AND PREVIOUSLY UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS OF ENTRY; WHICH WOULD HAVE MEANT INCREASED FINANCIAL ASSURANCES AND BONDS HAVING TO BE PAID IMMEDIATELY, MEANT THAT THE PROMOTION HAD NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION ON THE GROUNDS OF THE MEDIUM AND LONG TERM FINANCIAL SECURITY OF THE CLUB.

PLYMOUTH GLADIATORS WILL NOW FOCUS ON BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL TEAM FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE, WHILST STRENGTHENING ITS COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS MODEL AND INCREASING ITS BRAND, MEDIA AND MARKETING AWARENESS AND EXPLORING OTHER SPEEDWAY AND COMMUNITY RELATED AVENUES TO INCREASE IT'S SUPPORTER BASE AND TO FURTHER EVIDENCE AND DELIVER THE LONG TERM PROFITABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY, IT HAS SHOWN IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS.
