Fromafar 10,365 Posted August 2, 2023 Personally I think it’s getting too expensive to be value for money ,especially at Clubs already running in Championship.£14 on the day at Berwick certainly doesn’t tempt me.Don’t know the wage scale but easy money for a lot of the “old timers “,youngsters might not be earning much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So they might not get to the end of 2023? I’m afraid Iwade leaves a lot to be desired from the spectators’ POV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor fixture planning has a lot to do with it. Accepting too many away fixtures and real fiascos with home meetings due to car park and track issues. Great people running the club but naive and sadly abused rather than helped by other promotions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame they were "bullied" into not being allowed to host Nora meetings, could that have lost them money, if the stadium is rented out who earns? Who gets gate receipts?

Entirely feasible that Edinburgh and Leicester won't be at the tapes, Kent have every right to think nuts to this and Mildenhall had to have a fair whip round at the start of the year to get running. This league hasn't been particularly well received at Berwick either (not helped by the crazy double header prices). The mass uncertainty of the higher leagues (the higher leagues that are incidentally riddled with much older riders) which could equally only have enough to form one league leaves the whole sport in a much bigger predicament than whether a D is necessary or not. I am sure that Leicester will be at the tapes next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
