Figure of eight tracks? Riders being blind folded? Tandem bikes so both riders per team ride the same machine? No guests and a fit for purpose RR facility? The Play Offs take place only AFTER the Qualifiers have finished? Alright, I know some of you are already shaking their heads at my last two suggestions of the five, and think those two are so ludicrous that even the BSP would never implement such ideas..

Shaun Ryder seems happy with them though...

They could run the KO Cup during August...? Or maybe it would just be easier to not give such an early deadline?. Plan for the play offs after the GP's have finished, and no riders will have their World Championship positions to focus on, and provide plenty of time to complete the season.... It doesn't look "professional" no matter how some try and justify/excuse it that any sport is still running qualifiers (which would have impacted the final reckoning), when the finalists are already known...

He "cannot gate" seemingly was the reason given on here by Ipswich fans... Dan Bewley has the same problem apparently hence he could only match Kurtz's score, again, according to Ipswich fans.... They have both done so amazingly well therefore to be such high achievers in a sport where starting is absolutely paramount... Imagine how good they would be if they could start?😉 I presume Dan must have been really, really lucky in last years final to make so many starts and win so many races... 😁 Let's just hope Emil makes a swift and complete recovery...

With. The only known cure, I believe, is riding in a Polish Top Tier Final 2nd Leg....

Well... The riders do ride "for our entertainment" don't they? So economically viable...

Sheffield will be definitely up to win this... They would much prefer to race against the Aces in the Semi, rather than Leicester I would think... Basically, it could be "winner takes all" given the Aces are easily the worst team out of the four left.. I would imagine it will be a huge crowd in attendance, given so much is riding on it... Let's hope no injuries (or maybe sudden illnesses) results in any guests...

One "top league" with some rider control to ensure all competitive, (and guest free)... (Five riders per team if that is the only way of delivering it) And sell that to the wider media... And one "2nd tier" for those who cannot keep paying out money that they cannot sustain, but can be very, very useful in developing a conveyor belt of talent, whilst putting on an entertaining. night out for their punters, on a night their punters want to attend .. (In the 2nd tier using all the current make it up as you go along rules if needs be).. Sharing around the likes of Kurtz, Bewley, Doyle and Sayfutdinov, J and C Holder, and Max (and maybe others who wish to join in), would be a tremendous starter for ten for the top tier... Who knows, run the "flagship top tier" with credibility, so no Mickey Mouse rules, and you may get some sponsors from outside the speedway bubble who see it as a positive to their overall business model... Let's hope those in charge can see further than the end of their own nose.... What "is" clearly doesn't work, so let's hope and pray that the custodians of our sport can stop the current race to the bottom and innovatively grasp the opportunities that exist .

Just a fact re the NSS is't it. It just delivers great racing time and time again, at all levels from NDL to GP..... However, Leicester does seem to deliver some very good racing more often than it is given credit for.. It must have a very narrow sweet spot between being too wet and being too dry, as it often will be one or the other .. Somewhere "Goldilocks" in the middle however appears perfect, and that "slingshot" you can get from the banking out wide, can be very effective and deliver some very good races .. Best of Luck to the Lions in the Final, let's hope it's a closely congested two legs... With the Lions narrowly coming out on top.... (120-60)....!!!😉😁

He was running to his car with Olly before they got a ticket...😁

U ok Hun? xx 😁

And good that they do.... A bit of tribal rivalry is the big missing space that needs filling if you want to make UK Speedway become relevent .

Emil did quite well at weekend didn't he? 😉 #priorities..

In Salou at the moment, so not got a stream.... So, for anyone watching ... Who has Simon officially blamed..?😁

I know... And everyone else knows who I was alluding to... Apart from, seemingly you... I hope for your sake, Ipswich win... Or, if they don't, don't come on here for a few days after.... COYL.....

In Max we trust... Now the same again please Lions... Let's get the second most slapped arse manager in the league as pissed off...

100%... Have Ipswich ever thought of doing it? 😁

Jack could ride around the track with his pointy finger in the air...😁

Max will sort it....

There is a well above average rider in there.,. If he keeps maturing like he seems to have done the past two seasons... Always thought he enjoyed just being a Speedway rider a bit too much and settled for that. Another couple of years of hard graft and he could develop into a higher than most level rider.,

Good....

Has he parked his car on one of the side roads ..😁

The EL was also in a different league when Adams topped the charts... Truly World Class talent across most teams... Mr Consistent ... A great rider ... And probably a bit too fair for his own good...

To be fair ... That is the usual fayre at most tracks in the UK... Hopefully the score can remain close enough to maintain interest even if the racing doesn't ... Add in a couple of decent crowds, with plenty of away fans in attendance, and hopefully we will get two events that actually resemble a professional team sport , and prick some wider interest.
