Very good question. Maybe they realize that the 6pt ruling is both absurd and unfair on loyal British riders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - just disappointing (if not surprising) that it wasnt all in order before team building was officially started for any team let alone completed by some. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, until they announce rules in 2-3 season stints, we will always have this, same old questions every pre-season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 If they change the rules the panthers could end up with a good team by default.. The only problem with changing the rules now is maybe a few of the teams that have now been put together will be weaker possibly by default. What I really want to know though..is why are the rules in speedway so crazy every year....its about time they got shot of the current rule makers and the last lot of rule makers...and give the job so someone or some people that may actually be able to do the job.

Flappy Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Panthers haven't got the bottle to change the team to a good one even if the rules change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Do you not think so flappy?? other teams may offer a better deal anyway...but I'm guessing the panthers would have a better advantage getting a couple of good riders due to your location.

I can't see it being a record breaking season ticket sales what ever spin they put on it . Just wish management would not just listen to fans but take notice as well. Every year we seem to build from the bottom and every year we have to make changes because they keep getting it wrong. In future why don't we try building from the top first .I just can't get any enthusiasm about the riders signed so far and I don't think I am alone , very disappointed in the lack of imagination shown by management. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the answer is to have rules and them stick to them for several years. Constant tinkering and change has cock up and self interest written all over it. Same old crap about a positive meeting to take speedway forward before the realisation of the detail sinks in and the arguments start for the next few months. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before...rules should have a minimum of say a 5 season cycle....that way everyone knows where they stand....clubs, riders., fans. A ten year cycle would be even better...clubs may then invest in young riders more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 It shouldn’t even happen that often, once every 3 years, have a business plan almost and work to that. Instead of just confusing the hell out of everyone every year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the answer is to not let make the rules at all, they just are not trustworthy and competent to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not it appears we've gone back to signing friends of the club again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
