Berwick Bandits V Glasgow Tigers 27/6/15
Fromafar replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Football and Rugby are based on Squads of Players making up the team(still your team).Speedway has guests and R/r which is not the same IMO.Its not a good example to compare them. -

When the going gets tough Glasgow look as though they will come up short IMO .Not a match to remember but decent win for Bandits.Morris and Fisher are entertainers never give up a chase . -

funny how you decided not to highlight the rest of the sentence that I quoted,but anything for a dig.At there present averages only gets them a reserve berth in Pl irrespective of what they do abroad and it certainly doesn't benefit British Speedway them missing so many meetings.Ps Why is there no home meeting at Glasgow tomorrow.Let me guess!! can see Howe jacking it in or getting the chop if his performances so far are anything to go by. -

Riss has that touch of class required to go a long way in the sport should he want to concentrate on speedway more than Long track. -

Naff foreigners I am talking about are in the Pl.Glasgow tonight being an example.though to be fair Glasgow's could improve their averages,but there plenty other examples in the last few years in PL.Like I say it's in the interpretation in Speedway. Definately Weaker IMO.+Fisher is very hit or miss this season,here's hoping it is the former tonight.Edberg is the key man for Berwick tonight IMO a slick will be required. -

Fromafar replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This situation has been brewing for a few seasons now IMO.talk among true speedway fans the last few seasons was "surely the EL can't go on like this" but it has,their solution to sort it out ,the mess has impacted on to the PL now and is bring it down in credibility.Original Second Division start there were a fair percentage of young riders came into the sport just like the NL now,while lots were not expieranced they learned by riding in teams.I think the answer is to merge as many young riders from NL into PL to make up shortage of riders,Put stricter rules for under achieving foreign riders and don't use them to shore up teams just because they have an average that fits the points limit.Averages really have to be looked at and not made such an important part of speedway(it's on the track entertainment that counts).Riders averages can be false on a lot of occasions giving how they are obtained on track.Think we have to take a step back regarding standard of riders that we use to progress the sport forward again.Imo there are a number of expieranced riders "massage" their averages to make sure their average doesn't hinder their chance of aTeam place the next season.What you see now is " middle order men" being the sought after riders and costing the Promotions too much money.Thats my view for what it's worth. -

There doesn't seem to be answer,but it is having a major effect on the credibility of the sport and there is no doubt that a lot of fans are unhappy at all tracks these days.Radical shake up required. -

Thanks

I don't think you should be able to use a foreign rider in the reserve berths in Pl.We now have the ludicrous situation of guests for these riders because of foreign commitments,It makes a mockery of the sport in UK.There are foreigners in Pl who have been doing the rounds for years who are not going to get any better.Use NL in Pl reserve positions there enough of them at the same standard(even if not up to PL standard) too make some interesting races.Just have aPool of riders that any Team can use at reserve(no averages)just make the top 5 count for averages and adjust accordingly for Points Limit.Put an age limit on it so as the "old hands" cannot be used.That way you find actually find some UK talent.(on with the tin hat).lets face it the Top Riders ride for every Team in the League so why not reserves.

Reckon Fricke will give the favourites a run for their money in the World u21 Finals.Dont rate North but other 3 are talents,everyone forgets how young Morris is because he's been around for so long. -
