Shock the UK derby tour, November 2012?
5 Comments
I was wondering how I could get a copy of this. Im in the UK but coming over for The Big O Tournament. Any chance there would be a way of getting one whilst Im out there?
Many Thanks Reaper.
Nick, we can make sure we get some copies up to the Big O. I will keep you updated on who will have them. Otherwise, feel free to order one from our online store. Thanks!
Ok, this is sports media. Where are the scores? I’m noticing, to my chagrin, that Derby sports writing is often completely failing by not including the most relevant detail about what happened on the track (this is not the first time I’ve run into an article that discusses a competition without even mentioning the scores).
NYSE traveled to the UK to play derby. Good. What were the scores? How does the UK stack up against one of the US’s best teams? I realize I can probably find them on DNN… but is there any good reason to not include this information right here?
Jonas,
We agree completely and have added the bout results to the post.
Hi there. Just got a minor correction to make. The scrimmage in Bury St Edmund’s WAS hosted by BTR but they weren’t the ones skating. The opposing team was Brawl street thrash, which was a sort of ‘all-stars’ team made up of skaters from around the UK (and France).
Not a major issue, just thought I’d clear that up.
