Pinny Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Very odd comment Steve brum, surely youd rather see your team fight until the end? A couple of good results and Wolves would be in the hot seat for the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 On 24 August 2018 at 2:44 PM, The Cheese said: If those assessed riders are taking part in 1 main league what's the solution for them missing plenty of fixtures because they're racing in Poland? There wont be too many missing as a team containing a rider that rides in Poland can arrange their fixture at a Sunday track to be when they have weeks off otherwise guest or RR or reserve. One be league may not be ideal solution for a few teams but for the majority it will help the sport get a more secure foundation than it has now On 25 August 2018 at 1:06 PM, waytogo28 said: Another one bites the dust. How many over the winter will be lost to the sport? Take your pick from 3 or 4? I have heard of one big club that looks to be losing their track in the winter and two others in grave danger of walking the plank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders won't be able to afford to ride in 1 league.The likes of Harris Nicholls Howarth Schlein Worralls for instance would drop from having about 64 meetings this season to half of that in one league as they not ride abroad.

It will though, the riders won't take a massive pay cut without a fight.

A couple of good results and Wolves would be in the hot seat for the play offs. It’s the comments of a realist. We have been needing away wins now for the past few weeks to have a chance and the last few results have been terrible. I’d love Wolves to make the top 4, of course I would. We aren’t in very good form and got 3 riders injured or carrying injuries (roo, Nathan, kyle). The likelihood is pretty remote. If we get any points away I might change my mind tho.

If one more team opts out and there is no top league. I can't see any teams wanting to step up. Unless Poole run team A and Team B.. Double the chance of winning the league.

SteveLyric2 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Somerset and Rye House only came up last season to replace Coventry and Lakeside. Leicester have been in since 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
