Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted October 6, 2018 I've just found out that this is off (when I opened my copy of the SS...when it's busy at work I don't get on here much). I've got my sons coming home this weekend for this meeting reading the article just makes me feel crap. The usual mealy mouthed "we want to apologise to travelling fans" insincerity...it's unprofessional and depressing. It shouldn't matter who is riding in this meeting, it's not the point...run it as a Stars of Tomorrow or something. A dismal end to a dismal season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it says it all that there were not enough experienced riders prepared to turn out, even in very early October. Beyond disappointing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
