Not many supporters going to travel with work the next day and kids who are the next generation of income for teams still at school. This main men want to wake up and smell the coffee. Clueless I would think being the 24th August, the kids will still be on holiday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have all the individual meetings listed for each group. Maybe they have dropped the final and just going to have a three way tie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the promoter's can't take it seriously, why should the riders... and if the riders can't why would the fans This will probably be the last one... which is a bloody travesty!
