Nobody will ever take British speedway seriously until they adopt the Lucky Loser rule like Poland and Sweden.

Personally do not think the EFL trophy is comparable as it is open to all Premier League and Championship u21 teams to play against League one and league two teams.

Anyone got any news when these will be released ?

A football fan would probably see similarities with the EFL Trophy where Premier League U21 sides are added to make up the numbers.  If we go by last year instead, try explaining to a new fan that one team have decided not to bother entering and the two worst teams in the league have been given a bye to the semi-finals. 

Potentially on 26 March at Wimborne Road a spectacular clash of the titans of speedway could take place? With such a early season meeting and riders availability at a high, we could see the likes of Robert Lambert, Bartosz Zmarzlik or even Artem Laguta lining up. Now this would be spectacular and a meeting worth attending and an attendance at a record high to pay the guests?
