You would hope not, before the fixture list is sorted they should be saying the British final is on this date so plan around as you can't run on this date.

Then promote the event, run coaches from league tracks if the interest is there, get the event out to the public.

But surely this fixture should have been planned, even if unofficial, so the championship could avoid the fixture. But no, looks like British speedway shoots it's self in the foot again. 3 championship fixtures planned, 1 team on a northern tour, probably to help save costs, now these fixtures will have to be rescheduled. Upsetting 6 championship teams / fans to have the British final on a Saturday. I can remember many Sunday afternoon British finals at Coventry with upto 10000 fans on the terraces, what do we get now 1500 if your lucky

But I think about 30-40 Comets fans would normally go to the British final, now due to a possible clash of fixtures, British speedway will miss out on the travelling fans £25-30 admission money. Riders like say Richard Lawson or Craig Cook may want to go to the British final but at the moment the championship fixture clashes 

Richard Lawson doesn’t do the British Final anymore because he doesn’t like the NSS.
