Nothing against Bjarne as he has certainly come through a bad spell from a few seasons ago,but really the standard of the sport in in GB has dropped a lot since then.
Maybe if they had just conceded the KO cup tie to Redcar,they would still have some money left in the kitty instead of having to fork out money they didn’t have for replay
I was at these cram jams you were taking about,they will never be beaten IMo.Times are different,but like you the racing is great,they might fill it though.I had tickets for original meeting but will hold off and chance getting tickets nearing time.
Can’t see them filling the place in Oct,the last Team Final in the height of summer they were letting you have seats in the Temporary stand the those in the queue for the standing area before the meeting started just to fill them.Don’t think they will go to that expense to built them for Oct meeting IMO.
Don’t really think it will make any difference in long term.If a Knock Out Cup Tie against one of the best Teams in the League can’t attract a decent crowd with decent advertising and Promotion,what chance a league match making any difference.You would still have local derby for said league match to come anyway.Desperate measures.Wish them luck though.
When was it ever taken away,it’s just been changed and messed about with over the years,interesting if you go into the GB website today it still has the old rule and double points sub in place.
