Clubs struggle on Fridays as it is for guests etc. You only have to look at the prem when all 6 teams are riding and guests are needed 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not just say we can't have more Friday tracks because guests might not be available. I understand that injuries occur, but R/R should be used where possible. Guests should be a last resort ideally.

I wouldn't be opposed to the CL being run mostly or even solely on Friday nights. Guests or RR could still operate, maybe even utilise unattached guests as there will be plenty of NDL riders out of work. Forcing clubs to run on non-optimal days and then questioning why they are closing at an alarming rate is a hallamark of the current mafia board. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if there was a simpler option of Oxford just choosing a different night that they're happy with then it makes even more sense. I swear people think Godfrey has this almighty power. It will have been discussed, amongst ALL promoters and Oxford will have made their case too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, if only on a Friday, what would Newcastle, as a for instance, do? Forced to run NDL only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're building towards one league of 8-10 teams in a few years plus a very weak NDL... I can picture it now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
