Lakeside are unsure about the venue

Swindon are looking at a year in the Abbey waiting for a stadium

Coventry said they could share with Leicester but that would only be temporarily as they look

That's 3 of the 8

Lakeside seem to have ongoing issues which seem okay in the short term so far. Swindon have the abbey as back up but have seen no concerns about their long term future.

Coventry doesn't appear a concern for 2017 with Leicester offering the track.

2018 onwards maybe.

Why is it?

The top boys are all saying the same thing. Poland and Sweden have a reduced league programme which is clearly the way forward and works perfectly. Crowds are decent but then so are team strengths , it's not rocket science.

These top boys aren't holding us to ransom, they don't need that many meetings here as they entitled to do.

If we seriously want a league with any credibility then the top boys need to be here. We need them here.

If we want to carry on with a reduced strength league and do nothing then people need to stop bleating about how poor the EL is and ditch it.

 

Then the powers that be can have one big league with more fans disappearing and any chance of a future well and truly dead.

 

Thank god the promoters are looking at a job share for 2017. And hopefully the start of making the EL ELITE again.

 

The job share scheme will just add to the general farce.

 

The riders will not agree on a schedule as they will want to miss the same meetings.

 

Peter Adams has mentioned this fact at a previous talk in so it is strange to hear him now being an advocate of the system.

hows this for an idea bspa.....instead of a max of 3 heatleaders per team it should instead be 3 foreigners . giving a chance for the brits to progress properly . and before any poole fans say there not enough brits theres plenty only ten except reserves needed.... harris. nichols . cook. king. lambert. kennet.lawson.barker.worrall.garrity.bridger.

Personally speaking I think it's one of their better ideas.

Hopefully between the 2 shared riders a suitable arrangement could be reached.

I'd rather this than a further weakening year on year.

the top riders all have the same schedules.......so shared number ones would be hard for most teams ......

adams is only saying it cuz woffy would probably ride over here if he cud pick and choose his matches

iversen has also said the same , but the problem lies with who would they share with?

 

just stick to the foreigners that want to ride over here

 

have a maximum of 3 foreigners per team...

 

with the way things are going with many riders not wanting or needing to ride over here we really need to start creating our own riders to fill the teams ,something that should of started yrs ago

 

but we have buffoons in charge at the scb/bspa ... when you have teams that keep signed young poles and swedes and aussies the brits dont stand a chance.....

 

i see wolves/lakeside/poole triangle still in cahoots with oneanother....bech coming to wolves , hmmm..... more deals coming

So much for filling teams with Brits!

Surely you would need 16 Brits excluding reserves? Personally I would say minimum three brits (Inc reserves).

The top foreign riders aren't all in the GPs so why would they need or want the same schedule of meetings?!

 

I assume in the shared number 1 scenario that the 2 riders would alternate on a weekly basis or so?! The GP riders in the non-GP weeks and so on......

Nor does any Poole fan have any input in to what Matt Ford does but we all get it in the neck!

 

Well one or two might have some input!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Well Matt Ford and Middlo are fans too so some fans have a major input.

Firstly you can't stop EU members looking for work here and putting a limit on foreign riders but it could be done that they never go below their starting average and this would mean all reserves are British.

 

 

There are too many riders come here on an average they are never going to reach and soon after they are riding at reserve on a 3.00 average.

 

If they start on 7.00 then that is what they stay on but their real average is used if they are being released to stop them being replaced by another 7.00 mistake. This would ensure there are 3 or 4 British riders in each team and give opportunity to the National League riders to get a team place in the PL
