The crowds were very low the few times I went there but they were against teams that you’d expect a small crowd Workington I think will enter a team riding where?

The BSPA has no funds having blown their pot on the white elephant that was GTR engines, that's why they sold off Team GB and no longer support the youth championship 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the GTR fiasco all those involved should have one tied to each ankle and thrown into the nearest lake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly a few Stoke fans may fancy going to Buxton. Seems a bit more viable for them compared to previous season. I could see a good 100 or so stoke fans going over to Buxton if they came back into the nl. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piotr Pyszny 206 Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, ch958 said: if the BSPA were anything but individuals they would do a 'rugby league' and support the likes of Buxton I assume you're alluding to the Rugby Football League's decision to take on the Odsal lease, thereby propping up basket case Bradford Bulls for an extra season or two. Thing is, Bradford are one of the Super League era's biggest names, attracting crowds in the fairly recent past up to 20,000. I've been a fairly regular visitor to Buxton, going back to the first season, when they raced at the stock car stadium. They were never well supported. Few, if any, crowds topped 150. You're hardly comparing like with like. Out of interest, did anyone ever come across anyone at a Buxton meeting who was from Buxton? In my experience, most of the crowd travelled from Sheffield, Manchester, the Potteries, West Yorkshire (I drove over when I lived in Leeds) and southeast Derbyshire.

Can be a good product with 8 Teams and no certainty that Kent and Plymouth will be in CL or won't run CL and NDL as both said they may do and if Colts and Cubs return with Mildenhall and IOW only needs Buston/Stoke and one other rumoured collaboration between Scunny/Sheffield and you have 8 sides rumoured where please? think you may be dissapointed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
