Fixed race nights could have been a stumbling block ,if they were indicted by the dangling carrot ( money).Imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted November 4, 2019 From afar- Question is do you run in a Premiership with 4 teams around 1hr away So possibly 8 local derbies home and away but then have increased operating costs and midweek racing. The alternative is to run in a weakened Championship with a lower points limit with no real local meetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only local derby would be Birmingham if they remain in Championship. I really hope they're not thinking about applying for Premier league again. I know you did hint a couple of days ago that there might be another team thinking of applying to move up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The alternative is to run in a weakened Championship with a lower points limit with no real local meetings Most Teams have a fair idea what race night the majority of their fans prefer, do they take a chance and race on a different night.Sunday didn’t pay off for Sheffield last season,so I can see their point on moving back up if returning to aThursday race night .
