SCB Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Shame. Really enjoyed last years and was looking forward to 2017s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeslice Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Loved last year's four's. Beer,sun and great supporters. Shame no Rye House Can't GED do instead of champ four's how about a true festival of speedway with riders ( who are available ) from every team. Top national riders and second string from the champ and then the reserves from the premium??... Possible pairs Some how ? So gives all fans the opportunity for a great weekend supporting their team's. Opens it up to more people and more revenue.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware the showground is unavailable for a 2 day event for speedway this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Shame. Hope the weekend comes back Yes it could have been something to build on having an annual 2 day festival , after the initial year then improvements could have been made to build up a successful pilgrimage for speedway die hards.

Paulco Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 It was awesome last year , bit of an anti-climax going back to a one day event 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 really enjoyed last year's weekend but losing 3 teams from the league hasn't helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch Me If You Can Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 It was awesome last year , bit of an anti-climax going back to a one day event Looks like they had no choice with 10 teams. Imagine it will go back to old formula, 2 x 8 heat semis and 12 heat final with 8 clubs only. Bottom two on combined averages drop out before hand?

CookieIpswich Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Cant they do two groups of 5 and have 5 riders per heat 5-3-2-1-0 scoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Would be carnage coming out of turn 2 lap 1 with 5 riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Would be carnage coming out of turn 2 lap 1 with 5 riders. Showground did it in the world cup a few years ago and I certainly wouldn't want to see it again , I like to see riders being able to race and not being impeded by other riders intentional or unintentional. Maybe ok on grasstrack but not in speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ok 3 groups of 4 inviting the top two national league sides, might be cannon fodder but will give them great experience 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ok 3 groups of 4 inviting the top two national league sides, might be cannon fodder but will give them great experience How about 2groups of 5 over 10 heats each team to miss out on 2 races with 4 riders in each race for semi finals and then a 16 heat final between winners and runners up from semi finals.
