At which point, Scunthorpe decided to stick with it, because it allowed the British Youth Championship Round to be spread over both that and the following week's Edinburgh meeting. Scunthorpe surrendered Friday nights so both Glasgow and Redcar could stick to their normal race-night (co-operation between managements), but the Glasgow one was rained off and ended up on a Sunday. Tbh I think you're wrong. I believe Scunthorpe used to have priority but moved to a Sunday race night and then back to Friday thus giving up the seniority they previously had over us. I may be wrong but that's how I remember it and fixture list bears me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong but that's how I remember it and fixture list bearss me out. Scunthorpe moved back to Fridays first, Glasgow moved to Saturdays and then Fridays if you recall. I know that Scunthorpe have second priority. There is such a thing as co-operation between promotions, and Scunthorpe agreed to let both Glasgow and Redcar ride Scunthorpe at home on a Friday this year. You will note that Redcar's home meeting with Scorpions was also in the fixture list as a Friday all along, despite Scorpions having priority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shall see if or when the situation arises But looking at updated site 2018, 2019, 2021 Scunthorpe's home meetings with Glasgow have all been on Sundays. Edited September 26, 2021 by Jaizer .
