steven101 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 12 teams would be amazing, and seeing as it is pearsons team i would love him to broadcast an eagles v cradley meeting but it just wont happen. Really hope the eagles move back to saturday nights, i would of liked them to change a fixture this year to a saturday night seeing what the crowd difference would be, try it for 1 match i say, but dont suppose they can just re arrange fixtures for that meaning.

Islander15 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Not all teams want that many fixtures though, look at King's Lynn & Coventry who would struggle with availability and it would only take a rain-off or two for serious problems at Perry Barr. But the National Trophy lets those have extra who want it. Edited May 27, 2015 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the National Trophy lets those have extra who want it. Two extra teams would only be two more home matches and these could be made up by not having challenge, KO or Trophy matches. I do get your point with the likes of Coventry....maybe they could run a couple of dreaded double headers! Especially if Lakeside run an Elite League team. Coventry v Lakeside EL and NL on the same night. How cool would that be? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 i think 11 fixtures at home and 11 away plus the ko cup and then the extra NL Trophy for who wants it. i must say i think the bspa should change the rules for NL4s and pairs and even NL riders championship. why cant they hold them at a track where no one has been to?? Isle of wight said they want to hold 6 fixtures what better way than to hold these three big events or take them to a PL track like Peterborough no home track advantage for anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they could change a couple of fixtures but I'd settle for one over none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd change the pairs and fours rules so they took priority over the PL. Its a one-off event for a national title after all!

TurnTwo Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 yeah i heard that clegg and brandford are both missing for the fours? - i think its Coventry for the taking / birmingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm all for having more teams but you have to wonder where the riders are going to come from.Certainly isn't many riders going spare right now.Would guess an increase in points limit and a move to 6 man teams would have to be an option 12 teams would be amazing, and seeing as it is pearsons team i would love him to broadcast an eagles v cradley meeting but it just wont happen.

catinthehat Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Maybe they are looking at Saturday's for 2016 or maybe mildenhall need to use the Sunday. Must be some madness somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildenhall do race Sunday's but they could be experimenting for Saturdays next year. I prefer Saturday's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevec Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes, bring on Saturday night racing. Its perfect. You get to do what you want to do on Saturday. Speedway in the evening and then you get to do what you wanna do on Sunday. Roast dinner no longer rushed. Get to see the F1 GPs. and I get to miss X Factor and all the other Saturday night TV rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 but then why did the fans vote Sundays? personally i prefer them because i can do what i like on a Saturday, Sunday morning i can watch my nephew play football then head over to the speedway and still have time for a roast dinner in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 My friend was at Poole last night and he text me this morning about Tom Brennan - don't forget to include him in your team plans Eastbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven101 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I dont think brennan will sign next year although his facebook says he turns 15 on july 2nd this year, im not sure thats correct but i could of course be wrong. The 1 saturday they change it too im not there lol im in gorzow that weekend for the GP so wont be able to feel the whole saturday night thing.

TurnTwo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I BELIEVE HE WILL BE 15 MID SEASON NEXT YEAR or why not drop the age to 14 if they need more riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just been on the young lions site and followed the link to www.tombrennanracing.com looking at his profile he is not 15 till next JULY which would fit him in thats only if he is good enough? Seen him at Eastbourne, and he had a ride at Kent and also Birmingham when the Eagles were there and i see that he had a ride at poole last night as well so he seems to enjoy, Only a few seconds behind the big boys on a 250cc was the fastest at Eastboune in the Youth Round beating the 500cc riders as well and only 2.5 seconds off league times. But Who knows who he will sign for? will be a lot of interest in the young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tom will sign when he is ready and not before and I think the Dugards will provide the correct guidance. The lad has only just moved up to a 250cc machine so let him enjoy himself while he can before he faces league racing. 250 vs 500 times are a different debate for a different time.
