RIP British Speedway
Falcon1983 replied to BartoszZmarzlikFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Or put a twist on it Say an 8 team championship A League Cup 2 groups of 4 home and away once (6 meetings, 3 home) top two into semi finals League home and away once (14 meetings, 7 home) Top 4 enter the "Super League" the new name for the play offs, all compete against each other (6 meetings, 3 at home) overall winner is the champion Bottom 4 clubs enter "the shield" competition 2 legged knock out so a maximum of 4 meetings (two home) if you reach the final Could also introduce the 4TT but do it on a league basis for more meetings against regional at best 2 groups of 4, all clubs hosting a meeting top 2 progressing to a Final 4TT league all clubs hosting a meeting -

You really need Oxford to come to the tapes and have an 8 team Top Flight and an 8+ team 2nd tier nobody wants to move up, maybe that suggests the way the championship is the way forward. Perhaps the top division should be a bit between prem/champ and the 2nd tier could be a bit between champ/ndl -
Sounds interesting! I'd certainly be happy with something like Doyle, Covatti, Cook, Basso, King, Kemp, Jenkins. Or swap Cook for Musielak Heeps will likely be in there somewhere as we all know....
-
Is there a link to speedway signings across all leagues or something If Klindt is in the Polish top flight that just makes things more difficult. Wouldn't mind seeing Covatti back in Witches colours, also when you look around at the types of Bangs and Hansen etc not doing the UK I'd love to see Benjamin Basso Not long now til the fat lady sings and we know what is what
-
It won't include Mads Hansen, he is taking the same route as the Hallstrom-Bangs I would imagine King, Klindt, Cook, Kemp plus 3, if its two rising stars then Jenkins maybe alongside Kemp

Oxford Cheetahs 2022
Falcon1983 replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Also comes down to the ego of the landlord also does he want his track in the top flight on TV? Could be suicidal of course I still think Friday night championship racing will be the outcome -
Maybe Ford has asked them to mention it because they want to make a huge deal out of moving back up in a proper press release announcing Ellis & Kurtz as their first two signings Also would you announce it if you were riding in two finals? Riders might think well I wont get a place in the prem side and that could affect their upcoming performances Similar to when teams in football suddenly fall away from a play off place, possibly because the playing squad are comfortable there and if they go up they might get shipped out Pure speculation of course

Oxford Cheetahs 2022
Falcon1983 replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Difference is this time the owner is in charge and will employ a promoter looks like Courtney to run the speedway operations. So if run by the owner no rent to pay in reality, would earn from bar/food takings etc. They have a good basis to build from but I'm pretty sure they will run in the prem on a Friday -
Leicester Lions 2022 Line up
Falcon1983 replied to FishersGate's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Apologies they sure have I meant 2023 obviously just having a senior moment well ahead of my years so a potential 9 team top league IF swindon return in 2023 -
Leicester Lions 2022 Line up
Falcon1983 replied to FishersGate's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
yes Swindon to potentially make it 8 or 9 teams when they return in 2022 It's quite plausible that whoever moves up might have some form of carrot dangled in front of them to move away from any race night they currently run in but go back to my first reply, several weeks ago it was 2 other clubs, now its 2 other clubs, but the Poole one is the strongest of the lot, but if they allow them to run Wednesdays, what is to stop other clubs running whenever they wanted to as well **edit** IF swindon return in 2022 not WHEN, IF IF IF -
Leicester Lions 2022 Line up
Falcon1983 replied to FishersGate's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think 6 weeks ago or more I was hearing Plymouth/Kent were looking to move up Now I have heard the Lions rumour too and the Poole rumour is allegedly stronger than ever (with special dispensation to race on Wednesday nights at home). Premiership Belle Vue Ipswich Kings Lynn Peterborough Sheffield Wolves Leicester and/or Poole Championship Berwick Edinburgh Glasgow Kent Newcastle Plymouth Redcar Scunthorpe Oxford potential at least for a 7 side Prem with a view to Swindon making it 8 possibly 9 if Poole do go up. Championship a 9 team division possibly 10 if one of Lions/Poole do not go up then question marks over Birmingham, Eastbourne If Leicester go up then the next rumour that goes with that is that they will cease the Leicester Cubs side in the NDL NDL would leave Mildenhall, Armadale, Colts, Bullets, Royals, Mildenhall and possibly Brum/Eastie -
not 100% sure but think someone has mooted first week of November

Batchelor > Panthers is a non-starter even on that average there are other options that are far more likely

2022 Teams & Points average
Falcon1983 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well I'm sure say selecting one or two rising stars then it's free for all wont work as clubs cant afford it or may go bust trying Someone on this forum came up with a good idea of rounding averages up and down, and when explained it was or at least sounded pretty good Issue with averages is it doesnt reward those that have a good year and you get riders who drop their averages on purpose Right now I have no idea what the answer is -
2022 Teams & Points average
Falcon1983 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You would need a panel selected unfortunately by the BSPL maybe 3 people minimum and hope it's done fairly with no hidden agendas for their club benefits Or a rule base of if your average is between 2 figures you're category D for example I think whole average system to build teams just doesnt work anymore and it's so open to foul play -
I think so mate Skidder - it kinda makes Poole in the top flight just not at their track lol

here i am, the forums resident team builder.... 1. Jack Holder 8.68 2. Ben Cook 4.00 3. Adam Ellis 8.12 4. Josh Pickering 7.12 5. Chris Holder 7.16 6. Danyon Hume R/S 7. Jordan Jenkins R/S

2022 Teams & Points average
Falcon1983 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This is why averages to build teams should be abolished and replaced with categorized riders A B C, D, E plus the rising stars -
More chance of Eastenders putting a team in the Premier League than Eastbourne possibly with Ricky riding at 1 with Bianca team manager. Oxford already stated racing Friday nights only Glasgow is a possibility Poole a possibility if they get special dispensation for running Wednesday nights Or.... are they going left field and allowing clubs to run on any night they wish As for a 2022 Belle Vue side... 1. Max Fricke 9.23 2. Keynan Rew 4.00 3. Josh Pickering 7.06 4. Charles Wright 6.07 5. Dan Bewley 9.14 6. Tom Brennan R/S 7. Dan Thompson R/S

2022 Teams & Points average
Falcon1983 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As it is mentioned that people want to encourage Poole to go up based on the above, based on my thoughts on team building points limit, (not long until we find out for sure) here are a couple of teams, I have changed the Championship to 32 points straight away as its a mission to select a side Premiership 1. Adam Ellis 8.12 2. Nico Covatti 5.27 3. Troy Batchelor 5.57 4. Jason Crump 5.36 5. Brady Kurtz 7.35 6. Benjamin Basso 4.00 7. Danyon Hume R/S Championship 1. Danny King 9.22 2. Cameron Heeps 4.95 3. Benjamin Basso 5.00 4. Keynan Rew 5.00 5. Adam Ellis 7.66 6. Danyon Hume R/S 7. Seb Clouting R/S -

Premiership 36 points team building with 1 x Rising Star Championship 30 point team building with 2 x Rising Stars -
Never said awful off the pace at World level meaning probably 12-18 months possibly not in the GP anymore, so would open up riding in the UK I.e. on his way down in his career
-
Lynn should get Doyley been off the pace in the SGP this season had to rely on the wild card, looked out of sorts at the SON he seems on his way down to perfect signing for Lynn Doyle Andersen/Another Jorgensen Kerr Lawson That's not a bad main body
-
Wrong chat lol
-
Still think give it to Crumpy if he doesnt ride but got a feeling he won't want to bow out how it planned out this year
