  1. Just because something was tried once and failed doesn't mean it'll fail again. Completely different eras​ so worth another punt
  2. Using an existing meeting isn't a fair reflect. Under the current format it suits a rider / team to just gate and go as the worst is a drawn heat. With the pairs scoring system it's not just don't finish last. If you gate and your teammate is last it then becomes about the race leader slowing and controlling the heat to give his teammate a chance.
  3. TWK is a fan of Belle Vue. What better chance to see some racing at the NSS without the fear of the black & white
  4. It's extremely obvious to all when a rider has cleared off in the distance without a care of the other 3 riders behind them. I just think a 4-3-2-0 scoring system would emphasis skill over speed. A rider with the fastest equipment isn't then necessarily the best rider for the team.
  5. Just another thought. What about the pairs point scoring system in league racing 4-3-2-0? Could this stop the guy out the gate first from flying off in the distance and force his hand in having to help his teammate who's struggling in 3rd-4th? Could the rider who wins the race be deducted a paid point for none attempt to help a teammate stuck in 4th? Just maybe little ideas like that will bring the emphasis back to what league racing is all about - 'being a team'.
  6. Anyone interested in this? Should be a bit more of a challenge than Somerset last week. Harris & Nicholls generally do very well round the AFA and Kennett and Watt have had good scores in the past so could be dangerous. We certainly will need to be on it or the Rockets could easily take a point or more away from the Stars.
  7. Belle Vue had poor teams on a poor track in a poor stadium. That's why people didn't turn up, the day of the week is irrelevant.
  8. Off the top of my head: Modernise the starting procedure with laser technology​ Laser lighting rigs on the infield Uptempo modern music at all times Stadium free WiFi Club apps which gives live heat by heat scores - riders stats - fans vote for rider of the night - rider / management interviews - after meeting press conferences - more visibility for sponsors Telemetry and cameras to be fitted as standard to all bikes https://www.instagram.com/p/BSeOfPkARsn/ With this, fans at home watching live matches on TV can pick a rider on the red button to ride on board with. All telemetry data recorded live onto club app rider database. Admission price example: £17 (22-69) £14 (70+) £10 (16-21) Free (u15 with adult) Season tickets prices to be set to 2 home meetings free + away fixture admission half price
  9. I disagree, how many Premiership rider's do the Elitserien? If any Brits do the Elitserien there's no extra cost to British clubs. Monday / Wednesday works best for the Premiership as Championship clubs run Thursday > Sunday. The clashes between our own leagues are more of an issue than European leagues
  10. For 2018 there's no reason why the Premiership can't have fixed race nights on Monday / Wednesday Monday:- Belle Vue (own track) Leicester (own track) Swindon (only team that has questions over availablity) Wolverhampton (rented, Monday's only) Wednesday:- King's Lynn (own track) Poole (rented, Wednesday's only) Rye House (own track) Somerset (own track) Championship clubs don't run on those 2 nights so the rider availability won't be an issue.
  11. I don't think it's just the Darcy meeting. Also releasing Chris Holder could be a factor with some too
  12. Wright came into the corner a bit to hot and completely wiped Josh out. It should have been Wright excluded.
  13. The King's Lynn promotion have warned and advised fans tonight will be a one-off as it's the first meeting of the season. Start times will now be adhered to regardless
  14. Josh was injured having a good old fashioned punch-up with Wright after their crash
  15. It's true Josh G and Wright scrapping good and proper. It's how Josh injured his hand, not the crash I want to congratulate the promotion tonight. No tractors in the middle very few grading breaks and the meeting flowed beautifully and finished by 9.45. They've also made it be known, from now on the meeting will not be delayed if people can't get to the meeting's on time.
  16. King's Lynn Kids are off school and opening night of the season so advertising should be maximised, so you would think anyway. The only thing being advertised around the town is Stock Cars for Bank Holiday weekend
  17. Championship Speedway at more expensive prices than the Premiership Un-beeeeee-lieeeeeee-vable
  18. A better bargain than standard admission WHEN a meeting gets abandoned before heat 10
  19. Just started reading the latest Speedy Star, Jon Cook must have been completely p!$$€d up when doing his Premiership review. Spat my drink out when saw King's Lynn 7th He "don't think they'll really challenge for the Play-Offs" and the team "looks a fairly average pick" The tw@ even has Somerset above us
  20. £15.79 a meeting and you haven't got the hassle of potential threat of none result rain-offs I shall be purchasing my first ever season ticket
