At the start of the season he was going full time with NBJ. Probably just moved over to another pit bay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alang 306 Posted September 8, 2019 After last night with a big crowd and great atmosphere does anybody think that IF all 3 teams run next year there could be a place for each club to run a double header against the other two for some sort of northern championship based on aggregate scores or 3 points for a win but not counting as league matches.It could be run with the old 13 heat format to save a bit of time and cost.Would maybe work if the fans would turn up for them and create an atmosphere like last night. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always a bumper crowd with the likes of Hackney/Arena Essex/Peterborough/Mildenhall. It was run over the Easter and late Summer Bank Holiday weekends 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Normski 1,316 Posted September 8, 2019 yes 3 team tournament was a good idea, 3 x 7 man teams Glasgow, Edinburgh, Berwick would be good for crowd figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normski 1,316 Posted September 8, 2019 Indeed keeps interest going that way. Get a sponsor on-board £1,0000 for winning team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 8, 2019 Looks and sounds like a recreation of the 4's qualifiers with 4 teams and 4 riders per team. Seem to remember sometime ago Jon Cook ran a 3 team event in a single meeting, possible at Eastbourne, and it was a total shambles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks to luck, judgement, and the good old fashioned weather we had a great night on Saturday and something I would like to see repeated, maybe at the start of next season and have a three teamed event. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
