Ghostwalker Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just read that reigning German champions MSC Olchin have decided to withdraw from the Bundesliga because of the new match format where they go from 4 teams/match to two teams /match. Neither does SC Neuenknick och MSC Pfaffenhofen like the changes and have decided no to file any team registrations. more info can be found here: http://www.racemcsport.com/nyhet_spec.aspx?NyhetsID=80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least the brokstedt meeting is still on for the 1st may <thats the only one we've booked to go this season>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I wish them all good luck with their decision to bring themselves into line with the major speedway (and sports) leagues. One very disappointing aspect, especially in view of the reduced number of teams running, is that they don't race each other home and away. A league consisting of only five teams and yet they only race two matches home and two away. The luck of the fixture draw is likely to have a huge effect on the table. Additionally, as i understand it (hoping my german is sufficient enough to translate correctly) the top two sides meet for the title with the leaugue leaders having home avantage. It does seem a little grand to make claims comparing it ever more to the football Bundesliga, as it does in the promotional blurbs. Anyway, fingers crossed for success and shame on the sides that have withdrawn. Edited February 17, 2009 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
