flagrag 704 Posted October 13, 2019 It also has to be remembered that if rain forces the postponement of Glasgow or Leicester rounds of Championship final the restaging date is Sunday which then also rules Nicholls,Proctor and Douglas out of the Wolves fixture and Perks,Bickley,Bailey and Lawlor out of National League final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeilWatson 1,988 Posted October 13, 2019 4 hours ago, NeilWatson said: When the precedent was set to allow Richard Lawson to ride for Ipswich rather than Eastbourne, Eastbourne reported that “The usual protocols that guarantee that Premier have protected fixtures on a Monday and Thursday, and Championship have priority on all other days, have been rescinded and amended by the BSPA as an exception in the interests of the sport.” As you say, commonsense has Wright and Ostergaard in the North East if the cup final goes ahead next Sunday (it's currently a provisional fixture), but we will have to wait and see! The Newcastle fixture is now confirmed on Sunday 20th October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track was still soacked down to the base before the heavy rain fell today so it would've been very difficult to run a meeting tomorrow fit for racing,, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I therefore assume that the meeting will be packed with riders who usually grace the GP's, SEC or Polish top divisions as if not, you ask the question, why was this meeting not staged during the summer when we had great weather and no fixtures?

It'll certainly be packed with riders & I suppose if anybody wants to see top riders I'm sure the promotion would be very grateful for any donations ( sponsorship wise to attract GP SEC or POLISH top riders ) to help with the huge costs..

I would hope so, but will they be quality riders or the best of a bad bunch as has been the case in previous years!! We already know 7 of the riders, I just hope the other 9 offer some quality. We wait and see, but see my comment below, probs won't make any difference to me as I probably won't be there due to other commitments on the revised date!!! 1 hour ago, StevePark said: Just to jog your memory: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100992 My memory is fine, but my point is we had plenty of opportunities when we had no speedway on weekends when the meeting could have been staged or other meetings staged. I also not the line "This scenario just makes us more determined to put on something special later on in the season." My concern is that if the lineup is s***e, people will not bother especially if the weather is poor as it often is this time of year. I was able to make the original staging and the revised one but am struggling to make the new date, which kinda p****s me off. BUt you can't please everyone.
