No one gets paid so no costs to the clubs, and also, maybe, the riders would be more inclined to ride when "less than 100%"? Which as the years go by, is becoming less and less the norm.. Apart from obviously, in October when "all of a sudden," play offs take place in all sort of conditions... Edited April 22 by mikebv 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another incentive to get the match on.. Edit. Ian beat me to it... And, as an aside, some ST holders might not make any rearrangement date anyway so lose out regardless..

Don't make much sense to postpone it for that. Must be something else. I do expect Klindt at the end of the month though.
