There are positives too as the number of options to consider is fewer so less time deciding, riders out of work at present should be more grateful for the opportunity and not ask for silly sums otherwise they risk being left on the fringes for the the upcoming season. Its just a case of picking the decent gaters out of who is leftover and keeping fingers crossed for some home results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Plymouth opt to run on Tuesdays rather than Fridays then that offers a further alternative. Kent run some meetings on Mondays!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted February 8, 2021 I think part of the criteria for Plymouth being accepted into the championship was they had to put together a competitive team, so they couldn't just go with a load of nl riders,it will be interesting to see how competitive we are once the season starts covid permitting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as planning goes I believe they are allowed to run Championship or NL any evening except Saturday finishing by 8.30pm except Friday which is 9.15pm or run on a bank holiday but finish by 6.30pm.

Marksman 536 Posted February 8, 2021 Plymouth's race night looks like it's going to be on a Friday, according to their updated website page - https://plymouth-speedway.com/contact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobC 664 Posted February 8, 2021 If Pitgate52 says its Tuesdays, thats what it will be. She is very much involved with the Management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
