This Weeks 'Meetings'
Posted 31/01/05
Tomorrow sees the CL Conference
in Rugby and it is followed on Wednesday by a Promoters meeting on
the 2nd February.
Although the CL conference does not involve Glasgow
directly it will probably be of quite a bit of interest to young James
Cockle who will no doubt be looking to ride CL next season as well
as Premier League. However, the withdrawal of a few clubs from the
CL has already been announced and almost 50% of those remaining -
including James' CL track from last year - are running on a Sunday
so his options may well be limited.
Wednesday sees the Promoters Conference take place
in London and although many fans thought this would be a contentious
meeting a few weeks back, most of the issues appear to have been ironed
out before the event.
Isle of Wight and Kings Lynn's battle over Troy Batchelor
looks to have gone the way of the Norfolk Club and although many fans
feel that Stuart Robson is riding on an unjust average, the indications
are that this will also be allowed to go through despite it appearing
contradictory to the rules(his last PL average is being used rather
than his converted Elite League average despite him having been away
from PL speedway for over a year).
On a positive note, it is anticipated that fixture
lists can take a step closer to being finalised and they could be
available to the fans within a week of the meeting.
