Fours Festival Weekend Revealed

THE BSPA are delighted to announce the launch of the revamped Premier League Fours Spectacular Weekend.

The long-running competition has undergone an exciting revamp which will now see all 13 teams involved in two action-packed days of racing at Peterborough’s East of England Showground.

Fans will be able to enjoy 72 heats of top class Premier League action featuring 52 riders on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24.

Twelve teams will be split into three groups to do battle on the Saturday, with the top side from each group earning a place alongside hosts Peterborough in Sunday’s showpiece Grand Final.

In addition, the top two riders from each eliminated side will be entered into a 20-heat individual meeting on Sunday to ensure riders of every club will be in action on day two of the event.

With 36 heats of action on both Saturday and Sunday, the revamped Premier League Fours Spectacular Weekend is sure to be an unmissable event for speedway supporters.

Tickets will be available inclusive of both days with camping facilities available, however individual tickets for each day will also be on offer.

Saturday night will see a number of live bands and special guests performing whilst there will also be special events on Sunday to compliment the on-track action.

It is certainly a major reconstruction of the popular competition – and BSPA Vice Chairman Rob Godfrey is hoping to generate a “party atmosphere” over the two days to highlight what is a “special event”.

Godfrey said “The launch of this spectacular weekend has come about after the Premier League listened to supporters who believe that every club should play a part in the Fours Championship.

“Although it wasn’t possible to bring back the qualifying rounds at the moment we have introduced this new exciting formula to once again make sure that every PL club is represented in the process.

“Even if any supporters particular club loses out on day one they are guaranteed to see two of their own riders on day two in the Individual event before the Fours Final.

“That coupled with all the ancillary events over the two days means a party atmosphere to highlight what is rightly a very special event.”
