szkocjasid 3,043 Posted July 24, 2023 Sheffield & the BSPL have really boxed themselves into a corner now, Wolves were forced into this date (against their wishes) because it was the "only date available" so how are Sheffield going to re-arrange this fixture? Whatever date is given Wolves can rightly say "so why wasn't this date offered instead of July 24th" 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps someone could fix it for Godfrey and Chapman could be given one of those visas. That really would be “ in the best interests of Speedway”! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
