jenga Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) and your point is what.. all teams competing that day had the same number of outings and the late thomas asked the riders involved who wanted to carry on and who didnt ,needless to say the meeting carried on and on a rain soaked track(leval playing field)workington came out top. just like we did AT somerset one year. so lets have a mini gp system in place and then no one can ever moan again about home track advantage...

Lord Lucan Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Whereas I can see some merit in the suggestion for a multi race format, would this not then give rise to the same argument of "home track" advantage to the winners of those events if we had six riders winning their own track's meeting? And what of those teams whom dont get allocated a fixture for their track will they not still moan about "home track" advantage albeit would be on six different occasions, you'd then get the.... why didn't we get a meeting brigade, what's wrong wid our track, you can't stop em!! Nah, Steady won coz he was the best rider on the night, (so I've read) Oh... and he was at home, but easiest way would be to run the event earlier in the season when there is not so much emphasis on PL/KOC/LC/EL/ European commitments etc etc and at least try and give the event a chance of being the Championship it purports to be, August would be good.......... at Coventry??

jenga Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 i would like the meting to be held at coventry.. not.. kyle rides for coventry, so a homeadvantage is there.. my choice is for ALL pl teams to have a plrc meeting on their own track. so no home advantage would be gained by any rider over the season.. dont think this is rocket science, but so posters cant/wont grab the idea of the mini gp style format.. league cup .. drop it its nowlate September and its still going on..

PJ29 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 so, simon stead won because he was on home soil. I think that Simon Stead deserves more credit. .He did not win just because he had home track advantage.The latest averages for the Premier League show that Simon Stead has the highest average in the PL. So just maybe he won because he is the best rider in the PL. Also his away scores for Sheffield suggest that he would have been just as likely to win the PLRC had it been held elsewhere. Credit where credits due perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if he qualified as our top man? To be fair, where is there a neutral track in Britain anyway, just about every top rider in the PL rides as a double up for someone so would have ridden on just about every EL track anyhow, so to my mind there is no such thing as a neutral track..... really? As for a thirteen round format, how long before boredom sets in, how long before a "double up" is engaged in the EL/Euro during a Championship round, someone could eventually win this just by turning up for the whole event, scoring a handful of points here and there without ever being truly outstanding anywhere, it's almost as bad as a rider hitting the straps in a one off meeting after doing next to nowt all season, sorry, but it's as broad as it's long for me!! Nice idea tho J. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 if riders miss out because they would rather chase the money in poland, then so be it. (olly allen).. so looks like the modern day gp style gp is not a true reflection on the best rider in the world over a season. .. something tells me jerzy sh.....l was not the best rider to win the world crown one year. he done it on a one night stand and the likes og wuffy/hancock etc are just lucky enough to be around for the time when the gp is on. . .. EVERY TRACK WILL GET A ROUND OF THE EVENT, SO WHATS THE PROBLEM.. i like how my post has been chopped down to a small one liner. implying steady only won it on his home track.. didnt know alec salmond was into speedway..

vog Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I can think of a really simple answer to this. Central track. Neutral Fair. Not a tight, tricky track. Have it at Stoke! Everyone wins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 A worky fan complaining about home track advantage 😂😂😂 I was at the 2000 pairs and the heats were cut short because the rain and track was terrible but in all honesty it should of been called off. Sure they won it there a couple of other times as well? they did, I remember them beating us (Bjarne and Jesper) in the final after doctoring the gates all night when Stoney and PK were due out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 The proposal is not workable. If it was a mini series to find a winner, imagine the probs it would cause because, like the present PLRC, when noone else can race on that day being repeated times the number of rounds. We already have enough breaks and more would just wreck the fixtures. What happens when someone drops down after the series started, and what would happen if riders could not complete the series due to injury. Would there be enough prize money to make riders take it serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) nothing works untill you try it.. with regards to riders dropping out of the plrc on the day is was to run. its tough on them. it would be nice to see who ie best over the whole season and not just one lucky night. riders could be drop 1 or 2 lower scores from the series and be judged on a 10 race series . if it run by the bspa/scb then it will be a mandatory must go to meeting. but if its boing to be too complicated to run, lets forget it and let no one ever moan about the home track advantage again. or they could run a one off meeting at p/borro if they dont operate in 2015.. the only people who can make it work are the people in charge.. bspa, looks like a no goer then . shame. case closed.

kbt Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Why not hold it at a different track every year,let all the premier league clubs take their turn at running it.I know there would still be home track advantage,but it would be going to a different rider each year.

But then you would get the supporters of the team going last complaining about having to wait so long before they get a go, if you went in alphabetical order that team would be Workington, at current levels that would be 13 yrs and we could be out of business by then?
