Ipswich vs Leicester play off Semi-final 9th Sept
mikebv replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It's just simply you cannot ever take the sport seriously (in a team concept), when such nonsense pervades.. Nothing will change though so we have what we have.. Which, ultimately, sadly, can never grow the sport.. -

Guesting is part of the operating model because 1) it is easy to do, which means you don't need to find a way to not use them through changing your team structures, and, 2) the riders like the chance to earn extra money, doubling up and guesting is vital for those who don't ride in Poland... Hence, they will stay and major sponsors, and many thousands of fans, will stay away... -

Maybe they should have chosen the four teams in April... That would have given them even more time to market the meetings... Imagine the crowd size with six months worth of promotion?!

An absolutely 100% mindset to have... However.. You really shouldn't need to have that mindset, as it is almost ludicrous that it is required to follow a "professional' team sport ... And therefore, a "huge ask" to get new people to buy into that "unusual" mindset and become regulars...

A true "basket case" of an operating model.. -
Chris is always in a "competitive team" as he always rides in the play offs..π

I did consider including them... But upon reflection, I felt it might have devalued the competition a tiny tad...
