Daniel Smith Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Do they really think thats the only worthwhile thing to announce after Day 1 ?, do they think we are all mugs, if thats all we deserve to know.. There hasn't been any other announcements other than Lakeside withdrawing from the EL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I know somerset are going to be running in EL, I am assuming Rye is the other but who is the third Sheffield? Do you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 There's been talk of a a whole host of sides potentially moving up to the EL, if only half of them are true, it does leave the PL looking rather vulnerable with concerns (of varying degrees) over the viability of other clubs being added into the mix. Are there any NL teams likely to make the move up to PL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Stoke/Cradley to PL possibly? Im guessing thats a Tongue in cheek comment as both are highly unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Do they really think thats the only worthwhile thing to announce after Day 1 ?, do they think we are all mugs, if thats all we deserve to know.. Some people just jump in without really thinking, but trying to be the first to 'get one in'. Decisions are NOT announced on a day by day basis and very rarely are as the main announcement is released usually at end of business on the third day. As Danny Smith has said earlier, the only story coming out is that Lakeside have withdrawn from the EL, but I would guess that this as a result of the club issuing it . There's been talk of a a whole host of sides potentially moving up to the EL, if only half of them are true, it does leave the PL looking rather vulnerable with concerns (of varying degrees) over the viability of other clubs being added into the mix. Are there any NL teams likely to make the move up to PL? Berwick already announced they are running, along with Redcar. The only real doubts are Plymouth and Worky.

STEPHEN 333 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Not Sheffield, made that very clear has Sheffield's promoter Damien Bates, with what is happening to Lakeside, maybe Lakeside swapping leagues with Kent or even Eastbourne/Ipswich for a period of two season's could maybe be an answer.

Gresham Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The racing was very good this season. didn't you post a while back and say that was the main thing you were interested in? In your opinion. When I compare racing in general from what I've watched, the PL is far more entertaining than the EL. I'm glad you and others enjoy the EL...it's just my personal choice and preference. Did you get to many live EL meetings or PL meetings yourself? What did you find as a whole experience at the track was better? I don't watch speedway on TV, so couldn't give you a perspective from that point of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Friday night traffic seems to be the main issue. They want to run weekends and can't really do that at EL level There are already other events at Arena Essex at weekends which complicate possible Saturday or Sunday speedway for Lakeside Hammers. On alternate Sundays the stadium owners stage their car racing meetings. On quite a few Saturdays long-term tenants The Rolling Thunder Show stage their car race meetings.

Shale Searcher Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Would imagine that a few plans have had to be shelved/modified since the Polish brought in the amount of Countries it's Extraligue riders can ride in? NKI, Doyley, to name but 2 that COULD be effected? Edited November 2, 2016 by Shale Searcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 valve Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Well you haven't heard anything yet and I would think the majority only expect "a few little tweaks." The basic points we fans need to know are: 1. Which teams will be in what league. 2. For EL. Are the weekly race nights going to be set i.e. one or two nights per week. 3. Total team points limit 4. Any significant rule changes re Tactical substitutes or similar. If anybody else want to add any significant "wants" feel free to add.
