scunny1 436 Posted July 15, 2023 Rather concentrate on league fixtures and leave the fill in events as lower priority. Nobody (apart from the winners) remembers who won what cup, but most recall who won the league title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody (apart from the winners) remembers who won what cup, but most recall who won the league title. I actually completely disagree, that attitude has led to so many cup finals being held in terrible weather in October / November, so no wonder fans don't take them seriously? By getting the KOC out of the way first it shows it means something to the teams, so hopefully the fans will feel the same way too? Would be great for the BSN final to be completed by July & KOC early too! Plus clubs can advertise themselves as cup winners etc for the rest of the season, usually of you win in your last match - it's forgotten about by next March / April! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,028 Posted July 16, 2023 I'd be going Redcar leg on Fri 21st, Scunny leg on Sat 22nd. Get the Cup final raced against Poole before October! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why switch the legs round? Scunny should have the 1st leg and Redcar the 2nd leg, as it was originally going to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't intentionally switch the legs round, only picked those dates because Scunny are at Redcar on the Friday already & didn't know of the stockcar event on the Saturday. I see zero reason whatsoever to suggest Redcar should host the second leg, just do whatever fits in with the fixtures best, there's no advantage either way imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
