lucifer sam 3,953 Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) The National League Riders’ Championship, washed out at Leicester over the weekend, will now take place at Scunthorpe's Eddie Wright Raceway on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6th at 6pm. Further news will appear in due course, but in the meantime, put this date in your diary! Edited October 15, 2019 by lucifer sam 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris116 753 Posted September 26, 2019 I am not impressed by the BSPA website (what's new!). Over two hours ago Scunthorpe announced this information but the BSPA website has not put the news up on the front page or added the fixture to the fixture list on the front page. Anyone would think the website is only for the top two leagues with the National Developement League regarded as unimportant. The fact that the NDL is the future of the sport seems to have been missed by those in charge which is further proof why they are not suitable for running the sport. I hope Scunthorpe have a good crowd for this meeting and wish all the riders a safe meeting with lots of close racing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could be blaming the wrong people here- There is i`m sure a responsibility for the clubs to inform the BSPA press office of fixture rearrangements( presumably they also have to tell the BSPA office) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the BSPA right hand needs to talk to the BSPA left hand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the right hand would be Jason Pipe (NL co-ordinator) and Scunthorpe speedway and the left hand the BSPA press office and the BSPA office. I would imagine in this instance the left hand are still awaiting communication from the right hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 430 Posted September 26, 2019 Came from Scorpion's press officer, so must have been sanctioned by Rob Godfrey (Scunthorpe Promotor and Vice Chairman of BSPA ) first. More info to follow according to Scorpion's site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnTwo 317 Posted October 1, 2019 Perks will kill this meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted October 1, 2019 Perks does look as if he is a cut above this level judgeing by his performances in the higher leagues..But anything can happen on the night,,,Personally I will be supporting Ben Morley twice previously winner of this event...Hopefully a good meeting with all the riders staying safe and enjoying the event....

Exactly, so the BSPA website had no excuse for taking as long as it did before acknowledging the meeting was taking place. I bet they would not be so slow advertising the PLRC if the venue had to be changed! They just treat the National League very badly all the time instead of treating all the leagues as equal.

I think young Rowe and Palin have done a few laps at Scunny ?? it will be an exciting year for young Palin next year.This track should suit the racers in the field with Perks/ Hume likely to be up there Perks is the worthy favourite.

TurnTwo 317 Posted October 2, 2019 3. Ellis Perks - 2', 2', 3, 3, 0 = 10+2 Just last month he scored this in their away win as a heatleader.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted October 2, 2019 Still think their are 10 potential winners in that line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted October 2, 2019 Switch of venue is even more gutting that Danny Ayres is out injured. Perks obvious favourite, Kinsley should fancy his chances but much depends on the surface and if its a grippy Scunny or the slick Scunny but im certainly not ruling out Ben Morleys chances as much depends upon mindset as it does ability and he knows how to win this event.
