Falcon1983 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I know nothing just wanted to make it 7 sides in north and south but now we've lost stoke, remove Coventry and NL could run with two divisional leagues of 6 clubs in each. Could run say 2 sets of fixtures against the team in the same zone and 1 set of fixtures against the opposite zone giving 16 home fixtures per season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Last home meeting of the regular season was on the 5th and the play off semi final set for the 26th We have often seen these 3 week gaps coincide with difficulty in securing the win upon our return to action It would IMO be desirable to have some kind of meeting at home on the 19th to keep our eye in Unfortunately cant see it happening.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Not sure Baldyman. Our riders seem to have run in to a bit of poor form for their Championship clubs recently. Hopefully saving their best for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Is it me,,, as when I'm positive others are negative, but when I'm negative others are positive. You may be right, i don't follow what the riders do for other teams. I still fancy us for a win. Poole just need ruffling up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let em win 50-40 tonight so they win the league pick us and then return in a couple of weeks and win 46-44 the underdog tag will suit our boys no end, just like early season! Still a big ask but I think people are silly to be completely writing us off in the playoffs, you never know what might happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ipswich had limped into the PO’s without changes I’d have said they would be rank outsiders however by bringing in a quality number one it would be foolish to write them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 . If back at Poole next week, they need to move Heeps away from 2, we need a rider that can win heat 8 at Poole, poss Lawson at 2. That's just me though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 They really need to make it a 12 team top league next year and ride 11 home & away with some form of cup competition as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) What is this fixation with a 12 team top league? None of the other main European leagues have as many as 12 teams. 8-10 would be good though, but then its all down to what level ie points limit, is set?! If the top league sticks with Monday/Thursday as priority nights then it indicates they still want to attract riders that also ride in Europe on the other nights and the bigger the league the more they will need those riders. I don't mean the really top guys - those days are gone until the Polish bubble bursts - but Polish 2nd strings/reserves,Swedish, Danish, Czechs etc and of course the Aussies will still be very much in demand Edited September 19, 2019 by Skidder1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 A 12 team top league is 22 league fixtures which would be better, if they go 8 or 10 they double up the fixtures and I think one it's too many fixtures and secondly it's boring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many selfish 2nd tier teams that have no ambition or cut their cloth accordingly. No other credible league has that many teams. The top league in the World has 8 (Poland) whilst Sweden have 1 more. No other league has more teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
