  1. Such a terrible race track when it gets to this stage of the meeting at Poole, all the riders chasing the only racing line about an inch from the fence
  2. I see the riders race jackets say it's the Championship League Riders Final... which is a much better title than the Championship League Riders Championship
  3. Are there any 81 year olds in Glasgow... have you seen their life expectancy?
  4. And Miss Championship League... 87 year old Elsie from Scunthorpe
  5. £2.50!!!! Is it Valet parking? And you get your car back cleaned at the end of the night?
  6. Throttle works both ways... If you only have riders that are prepared to ride flat out you end up with a bunch of riders like we had at Cardiff
  7. and for the most part all totally avoidable with some proper policies put in place
  8. Yes, don't disagree... the real question here is why was it left until 19:05 to postpone?
  9. Because tracks don't always ride the way they look. Cardiff, Gorzow GP's being 2 cases in point. Even Poole vs Redcar last week... it looked like a complete pudding of a track, yet was fine within a few races. If riders had a quick practice session before a meeting a lot of questions would be answered
  10. I agree... but actually winning the league brings nothing else other than a play off pay off for most clubs
  11. Apart from the financial penalties bit I agree, the home promotion will already be suffering the financial penalty of a postponement and in this case the potential loss of league points (for me it'd be 1 point each with no restaging). For riders to not have even tried the track before the postponement also needs looking at.
  12. a slightly bigger attendance for the semis and a bumper crowd for the final... THAT IS ALL! We won the CL at Leicester... did absolutely nothing with it!
  13. sounds like this particular keyboard warrior is getting into tin foil hat territory there
  14. I've been saying this for a while now since the postponement based on crap weather forecasts phenomenon started a few years back, 1 point each or whatever and move on... otherwise you'll get clubs just not fulfilling their fixtures when they can't qualify for the play offs like a kid taking his ball home when you were playing footy at the park. Everyone would more incentivised to getting a meeting on if there was a danger of it not being restaged
