NDL Riders Championship, Workington 24 September

[Triple.H. 1,986]

Apparently the forecast for Workington is terrible.

Maybe they'll reschedule it.

Heaven knows what side redcar will put out, wright, riss, bailey all missing

[topaz325 1,856]

Two topics same event.....this one on correct space I think , oh and no BSN on Sunday at Worky .

[Biffa 84]

And Luke Harrison missing for Redcar as well. Been a regular guest but not signed so NDL takes priority

Forecast bad for Sunday

this fixture been in calender all year, surly it should take preference over other rearranged fixtures,  probably won't matter looking at weather forecast  unless we try a new sport of canoe racing

Can't wait for the fall out when it becomes apparent of what's going to happen unless a rain off saves the day. No wonder our sport is laughed at from outsiders as it dies a slow death

The CL Play-offs have also been in the calender all year. All of the fixtures have been rearranged so the rules are up in the air but riders must be available to represent their clubs at all SCB/BSP scheduled events. 

If the forecast is to be believed then Workington & BSP should work together & pick another date & maybe rethink the staging time for this event moving forward.

Yes play offs been scheduled for after league has finished   but aren't Oxford using a 3rd off race day ? Surly this should not be allowed especially if a protected event is taking place on the same day !!

It's not so much a case of being allowed, more like encouraged by the BSPL while they throw the NDLRC under the bus.

As a comet's and speedway fan the comets promotion must be pulling their hair out at all the carry on, whether riders turn up,  the local top rider called up to Poland, they had BSN coverage to promote  the event and the fantastic northside arena,  then this was pulled due to a team in the higher league running a meeting on a 3 rd choice race day !!

Allegedly this meeting has got to be applied to run by the promotion of a club, after this shambles will promoters apply to run future events. Going forward the promotion have to decide what to do next year  will the NDL league survive?

Possibly the least surprising announcement of the week.
