the amount of bitching on this thread suggests a bright future in the Elite League

Tactical Substitutes - Thinking 'out Of The Box'!
ch958 replied to a topic in Speedway News and Discussions
i think the original poster's idea isn't a good one with all due respect but i would encourage any blue sky thinking - I've read 2 such things on here in the last 3/4 months. 1) was Steve Shovlar's idea of online matches to purchase and 2) was from that Peterboro nutjob who suggested a super six competition with no points limit to run on nights when theres no gp or world cup or whatever i say keep em coming even though most are non starters. -
No Sky Speedway = A New Opportunity

i agree totally with this comment mr a however will promoters have the guts and unity to say no to riders demands to fit this budget -
Doubling Up - Should It Be Allowed?
ch958 replied to iand's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
i think its been overused and there are suspicions that some riders are saving their best equipment/ performances for the EL maybe they should be nos 8,9,10 in an EL squad and replace missing riders only perhaps this would be a way of reducing or even eliminating guests usage -

i wouldn't pay 20 either but would pay for single meetings occasionally- maybe 3 to 5 pounds a time -

tell you what - we may act like dicks on here sometimes, myself included but this shows that there are good thinkers out there with good ideas -
Redcar V Newcastle Pl Play Off Thursday 26th September
ch958 replied to dantodan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
knock it off girls - theres idiots at both tracks in fact theres idiots at every track thankfully greatly outnumbered by proper speedway folk -
PS - To the anti Phil Rising members out there; his input is always balanced and factual. seconded I'd be quite happy for him to be part of a think tank/ panel to right some of the ills
-
what happened in Poland? is there a link or more details
-
yes but thats once twk - your point is still valid - the PL is not without problems but i would suggest there are more and deeper problems in EL and its all down to money make the sport cheaper (I'll leave that to those who are mechanically savvy) and i'm sure it can be done and riders will take less cash from the sport
-
right up until the last minute then we'll think of a rule to stop them!
-
well i've said it before but i'll say it again - 1st = league champions then 1-6 play off for - i don't know - The Gold Cup" - something credible maybe some cash prize

R/r For A Rider Riding Elsewhere?
ch958 replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
yes - no guests end of sign somone else or get creamed - either is preferable to sham teams -
is there a "comp" with credibility? this is speedway - littered with teams peopled by riders who ride for someone else: guests, du etc say what you like about the lack of an alternative but guests ensure speedway will never be credible
-
the team finishing top SHOULD be league champions however, an end of season competition featuring the top 6 would give the required exciting finish to the season plus appease traditionalists.

Riders Who Come On Later In Their Careers.
ch958 replied to NickRushbrook's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
i believe he can be a prickly character (ask twk) or look at bears-talk where most fans wish to see him and his colleagues sell up and go -
Riders Who Come On Later In Their Careers.

i think Brian Havelock started at about 28 but, despite being reviled these days by Bears fans, became a very stylish 2nd tier heatleader. Similar story with Paul Pickering, without the revulsion! -
you mean "enlarge in a new window" and its exactly the same size unless you use the plus button and then you have to manouvre the page arounf to read the text. Why can't the pages and corresponding text just be normal page size like every other site i visit?
-
i really like this feature but could somebody please tell me how to open it so that i can read it properly if mr r is reading can't it be formatted like a normal site like Speedway Plus or something I'm not computer illiterate but this has me stumped and if anyone is thinking of posting how stupid i am include your home address
-
well what would you do then? There aren't unlimited team places in Poland and Sweden so no they won't all 'bugger off'. And we're not talking about 'wobbling juniors' just overpaid eurostars. The crowds we attract are only large enough to fund a semi pro sport.

I would think that there about 10 'ways forward' being considered by various promotors. The world looks very different from the perspective of , say Poole and Coventry to the perspective of ,say Isle of wight, Glasgow, etc. Whatever plans are made should ensure the survival of all clubs, not just the rich ones.
-
this is the way forward - no mistake
-
fair comment - you seem to know something about the machinery - many fans don't and don't care. With this in mind can you suggest where machinery cost savings could be made?
-
please explain in detail why this statement wouldn't be true
-
two excellent calls though i would restrict to 2 r/r rides myself even teams being defeated heavily is better than the farce of guests and lets be honest thats the worst that could ever happen without guests and that happens with them too!!
