Hopefully it can appease the Belle Vue fans a little one night before Friday. The whole of British Speedway needs this club to survive more than any other Apart from wolves, every other team will be looking to run on thursdays!

And it could work if the rules are done correctly. For me, if a rider gets injured it's R/R and no guest. If 2 are injured then it's R/R and a guest from the Championship that has no team in the Premiership. That way there's no conflict of interest.

Working Came as a bit of a weird statement when they switched to Thursday's as Sweden already did this a week or so ago. Both have claims they have priority from different organisations and all will become clear soon I'm sure. If Sweden are doing Thursday's the few Swedish riders will surely have priority there but will have to see if they are working together to get it sorted.

SteveLyric2 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sweden are only looking to Thursdays for Elitserien fixtures (as well as Tuesday) to allow all 9 clubs in 2019 to have at least one fixture each week. It wasn't an issue with 8 teams because they could all race on Tuesdays, with their 2nd division on Thursdays. The term 'Fixed Race Nights' is incorrect really as has been said by others. It should be 'Priority Race Nights'. The British Premiership will have priority as agreed by FIM for Monday and Thursday racing. However there will doubtless be some Premiership fixtures on other days eg Good Friday and some Wednesdays when other countries will have priority if there are rider clashes. Mondays and Thursdays were designated priority in 2018 but Premiership clubs reluctantly agreed to go Mon/Weds under pressure from some Championship Thursday clubs who threatened not to run if they were shifted from their regular night. Its good to see that sense has finally prevailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most probably happen next year when the owner thinks enough time has passed for folk not to realise he has swapped his two teams around. Also reason given maybe having had to move to Sunday because majority of Prem raced on Thursday we found it did not work so only way we can race on Thurs is to step up a league.

Probably why Ipswich & Boro have come up as otherwise it would have only been a 5 team league!!! They only moved up because the new owner just happened to need two clubs to replace the two that saw the light and got out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
