FYI Workington didn't require a crowd of 1500 in 2018. But unfortunately until the last few trophy winning meetings crowds weren't anywhere near break even . Hopefully now we are at the GT tyres Northside arena all money spent ( food,drink, car park etc ) goes to keeping the speedway alive
Doesn't help any bandit fans planning to travel or already booked flights trains hotels, especially as the weather forecast is good for travelling fans
IMO that's not a reason, I attended the 2 days of the GP paid 2 nites in a city centre hotel and still attended Workington meetings either side. Just saying 😃
Good job no pilots fixture this week, as it looks like a 7 day ban for Mr Lawson, did not turn up at Leicester tonight for Ipswich, alledgally turned round due to illness 🤔 or were the bike/dope testers waiting 🤔🤔😜
Probably be a seeded rider at the last minute or a wild card. At the moment doubts about a couple of riders who are down for the semi final, Ben Barker and Craig Cook
If the riders were available to fill up teams, it would not work, some teams are on limited budget and over 10 meetings in championship offset losses with sponsorship, but in one big league the costs go up, more meetings to lose more money which sponsorship won't cover, and can fans afford twice as many meetings as now
