stevebrum Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I see Plymouth have pulled out the league - so Stefan (and others) will be looking for new PL team! Sad news for speedway and I hope the riders get fixed up quickly. Sad news indeed. Just waiting for all the rose tinted PL fans to tell us all is fine in their league as of course it's only the EL that is in a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad news for speedway and I hope the riders get fixed up quickly. And with a team that does not have meetings that clash with Swindons. Hope he and all the other riders get something sorted out asap.

Just waiting for all the rose tinted PL fans to tell us all is fine in their league as of course it's only the EL that is in a mess. Typical myopic response from someone wearing dark glasses in a very dark room. All leagues are in trouble, some just in less than others. Okay Plymouth have failed and Isle of Wight a few years back. What happened to Birmingham, Eastbourne, Peterbrough, oh and Oxford? The financial insanity of the EL is clear to all. Just making cheap shots at other leagues is quite frankly desperately sad. Another piece of stupid, ill-thought provocation that does f-all to solve the problems, just immature point-scoring. Sorry, I forget, you support an EL team so that makes you a superior human being ;-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for ignoring the obvious but the expected retort. You never fail to deliver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Jason Doyle in an article in the adver has stated that the league needs to move to one night a week racing, he thinks that some of the top riders will return. I am not sure about this as it is the cost of some of these top riders that is a major problem and not just the availability. This would mean that we only have half the number of present meetings unless most EL clubs also have a PL or NL club which runs in the week when we are away. There is still the issue of only one available night when many clubs do not own the stadium they use. I still reckon that when a bottom of the league team visit or the weather is iffy and there is a good meeting on sky, many fans will stay at home and watch the one on the tv. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The danger is that the televised match especially on a damp cold night will be too tempting and then every EL club will suffer a loss of crowd figures not just the odd one or two that would currently clash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm a bit confused about Rosco always going on about this being a young team so need time. I thought they were teenagers the way he spoke but Looking at the ages of this year's new riders, they are not much younger than last year's with most being in their late 20s. Doyle 30, Josh 26, Tungate 26, Sedgmen 24 Young to me is like Lambert(18), Woryna(19), Kurtz (19) Fricke (20) Garrity (22) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
