tape2tapevideo Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Here goes then how about (as we are talking speedway), out goes the tac subs, golden double, black and white hats etc and in comes...... A team 8 or more behind, can nominate a rider from the other team to start 15 metres back for normal points, at least that way the team in fronts riders will have to chase and pass from behind, thus making a race of things, cant see the point of a team in front starting off the tapes, so why not make one of there riders start 15 metres back? Yeah I know it sounds stupid, but more chance of say Craig Boyce at the Island coming from behind than for example Josef Franc if he is 15 metres back, after all 9 x out of 10, it is the home riders who do the passing because of the vast amount of home advantage. Newcastle at the Island was a great example they scored just 23 points (had they been off the start and the Islanders 15 metres back they may have made 24!!! Only a thought.......

bobtasker Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'd like to check out the Knock Out Cup results this year in comparison to the League / Trophy meetings: no tac rides / subs, just get on with it & make reserve replacements. But that would be too simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 This is certainly a more ethical tactical move. Although the double points ruling does seem a bit micky mouse in practise it has kept more than a few matchs interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 just scrap all the silly t/s and t/r and bring back the good old golden double and tac subs. was much easier and ( well i think anyways ) it made for a better meeting.

BertHoven Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 And when they go 12 points behind we can nominate a rider to go backwards....!Whatever next? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bring in cycle speedway. Much cheaper and much more sporting! Another wee advantage is that there would be no Mismanage Committee or Braindead Stupid Prats Assembly!
