My sentiments exactly Alfie. I just don`t understand the thinking behind this apart from getting visitors to stay longer but I think with the new schedule there will be more and more people `popping over` for 2 or 3 days throughout the two weeks.
As for the Senior race, that was always THE race of the week. Now it seems to be an after thought.
Potentially, with delays for what ever reason we could end up with a race every day for nine days if the senior had to be run on the Sunday.
