Guys, I can see a lot of good points both on this thread and the calendar one, but I really do think the north/south blinkers need to come off, it is NOT a Northern based series, it is more mid based. I live on the edge of midlands/north west, and of the 6 nationals, 2 are @3 hours south of me, 1@ 90 mins south, 1 is level, one @90 mins north and one 2 hours north. Oh, and the end of season events are 90 mins and 2 1/2 hours south of me too!!
I think someone based in Newcastle could make just as big a claim about it being Southern biased as you guys South of the Thames could about it being Northern based!
That said, it is a shame to lose EPR (is the reason the one stated, or more to do with the lack of layout options supposedly giving local advantage?), and I don't see why the AGM is in the same place every year (Oh, but please, Stoke isn't really Northern guys!)!
