She's doing the Premiership draw. They wanted Melinda Messenger for the NDL but it didn't meet the minimum 30 seconds.

So everyone knocking linda lusardi doing the draw really!! What harm is it,I guess you would all rather have Godfrey and vatcher doing it,that is why speedway struggles to move forward soon as anything different is tried all the old farts start moaning, get a grip ffs!

As she’s now of pensionable age I’m not sure she can be classed as a ‘ glamour girl ‘ or are we to have Vera Lynn presenting on BSN ?

More likely to get Vera Duckworth.😀

I didn't see the harm in it, it also meant as we could actually see the draw Berwick avoided Redcar 😁😁

The harm is in how speedway presents itself 

In a time where we have seen all of the work that has gone on to make the sport look more professional and modern in its presentation on tv etc how do you sell that to potential sponsors and media partners if they then go on the associations official social media and see this. 

What large company would put their name to something as amateurish 

If we accept stuff like this as ok then we are accepting that speedway is now an amateur colloquial sport that will never be taken seriously.

I am not sure that the "paper bag" used is a recognised official BSP Homologated draw dispenser...

Therefore, the draw should be rendered "Null and Void" for me, and only re drawn as and when said "paper bag" has been trade marked and officially endorsed by an ex World Speedway Champion..

The salubrious surroundings, and of course Ms. Lusardi's presence itself, are actually things that accurately, and clearly, reflect the stature, and importance of fhe Championship KO Cup, therefore, ensuring that the "paper bag" used to dispense the team names has the same level of gravitas is fundamentally important...

Hats off to those in charge though,, as many of us on here have often said that they needed to employ a well respected, results delivering, professional marketing company, to publicise the sport, even if it costs a fair few quid to do so...

This certainly looks like they have listened, and done just that...

NB. May I humbly suggest Mr Timmy Mallett to do the Premiership draw?

(If they can get enough teams obviously)...
