CaptainAudi 147 Posted October 31, 2014 In the Football equivilant (Charity Shield) , the league runners up are the team eligible. Depends on how the BSPA decide to run it, if they run it at all that is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotchopper 312 Posted October 31, 2014 I am not convinced this was ever a bspa event. Not even sure it gets run every year. Might be wrong but King's Lynn vs Edinburgh might have been the first running, I am sure it was just a one off meeting at kings lynn run as a 'grudge revenge' PR match in 2009 to kick off the season. Just a challenge match that was christened the premier shield. Give us a bit of variety to start the season rather than the old spring trophy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the sole reason you're never anywhere near being able to challenge for the Premier Shield (That's tongue in cheek by the way, as Workington is my second team!!!)

And (though if you're under the age of 18, please don't read any further...) . . . . . . a 5 ride paid maximum from Chris Schramm!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were those where the days when Schrammy used be a Heat Leader aswell also, if memory serves me correct, were we not given a 10 point head start and still lost by 20-odd Edited November 3, 2014 by MonarchsMitchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
