National Stadium - Saturday PL Pairs. Sunday PLRC. Problem solved?

 

Problem only solved if you live north of Watford. Two meetings "oop north"? Forget it.

 

Anyway, the night before the GP is ideal, Somerset's ideal and the rules have been in place for years.

 

Get on with it.

Cook,Lambert and Kurtz.

[Panthers89 1,922]

Ridiculous how top 4 riders aren't riding

Watford to Belle Vue approx 190 miles. Berwick to Belle Vue approx 210 miles. So your point?

Total and utter joke - totally devalues the competition and will also have an effect on the crowd attendence countering any argument about having the meeting before the GP to boost the crowd.

[Arson fire 4,785]

Surely a national event should be about the spectacle and not the size of the crowd or how much can be made from it??

 

It should be about the speedway, same as the British semi finals being rigged to boost attendences by having home riders at home to boost the crowd.

 

How about all national events are held at the ermmm, national stadium in future?? Is that not what its for??

 

As for this years pairs, unfortunate but shows the quality of british rider or lack of, that the top 4 are all eligable for the second division. Not point crying over it.

2 of them chose not to ride in the Premier League at the start of the year and you expect them to be included in this event having only ridden a handful of PL matches?! Now that's a joke!

Why not let's change the date and venue of one of the most popular events of the season because it doesn't suit a couple of teams? Then when the re-arranged date doesn't suit somebody else we will change it again. Then when we can't find a suitable date to suit everybody we'll cancel it.

Personnally i couldnt care less if them 2 riders were included, the fans want the best riders available at this meeting or are yet again feeling somewhat shortchanged, call it cheating or whatever you want but if teams can field 2 top riders in the meeting so be it, far better than watching the second strings.

[TheScotsman 2,483]

Cookie wasn't available in the previous couple of seasons but nobody complained then that the event was devalued etc.
