Might actually make sense as nearest NL is either Birmingham or IOW, Championship is currently Lakeside! In the top league, Somerset Swindon and Poole are fairly close. Expand Makes more sense however attendance and profitability is always the issue in the past when they have run at a higher level. Cant see what’s different this time then.

Somerset have looked after him fantastically and the professionalism has been second to none. Still has some unresolved issues with Swindon management. Somerset want to do another loan deal for 2019 if in Premiership, however Swindon will only sanction a full transfer and not another loan deal. Also has interest from one other Premiership club, wouldn’t tell me who but hinted at Leicester. Expand I heard u were changing youre username to Jason Doyle racing next lmao 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplest way to double the average crowd. 6 teams and every match is a playoff & nail-bitingly exciting. A lot fewer matches but higher crowds! Shorter season, say three months June July August gives plenty of time for rain-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 According to another forum numpty Doyle is nailed on going to Kings Lynn next season in a swap deal plus money for Robert Lambert, now he is going back to Somerset or going to Leicester. Thing is if there`s a major rule change for next season that could see the back of Doyle racing for anyone over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the UK is not using Thursdays, then Sweden have a good case for claiming it, leaving us with just one priority night. We need to step up and set Thursday as a race night before it is too late. But, of course, we won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it being one of the better nights for speedway (lol!) it also give them racing on consecutive nights which would make far more sense logistically. Sweden - Monday & Tuesday Denmark - Wednesday UK - Thursday Poland - Friday, Saturday & Sunday Everyone is happy Expand Except that the UK, despite having Thursdays, don't use them so it would leave us with absolutely nothing. The UK are using Mondays though, so I guess Sweden can't fairly have a claim on it. If Sweden do get Thursdays, it's just more proof of what a major cock-up last year was by going for Wednesdays. The UK need to jump in and set Thursday as it's race-night NOW - or they will lose it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if we used Thursday nearly as many times as Poland used Friday? It still makes a lot more sense to use consecutive nights. Expand We didn't use Thursdays as a fixed race night, and they know it. So they will have no reason not to allow Sweden to have priority on that night, as far as I can see. Not sure about consecutive nights. Suppose a team has 2 matches in a week, it's probably better to space them out a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
