CountyGround Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 PLAY OFF CONTENDERS Is it only me that I can see no point of the "Play offs" were they not introduced for the benefit of Sky ref. the Elite league? The Championship "Play off" winners won't be getting promoted the following year, so whats the point! I would rather see an end of season K. O. Cup. I've said it before but I think the promoters have taken their eye off the main event, I think we the supporters want weekly entertainment. The Promoters put all their efforts into winning maximum league points by any method with entertainment & good speedway not top of their shopping list...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about bringing the old silver helmet match races & meaningful second half racing back ( they were the good old days ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think any current promotions genuinely give a toss about bringing on young uns? The vast majority of M/SDL teams are all organised and run by devoted individuals despite clubs/BSPA best attempts to hold them back (i agree the NJL is a little different). Until everyone stops thinking about the next meeting and has a genuine view to the future there will be no future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash&piffle Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 All I ask is, before any Play Offs take place, all teams complete their fixture list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams all have bigger issues than who will make the play-offs, but the "Promoters" of those teams still have their heads buried in the sand!

Guest Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Here's another vote for the Silver Helmet. (Wouldn't exactly be too difficult to organise, would it?...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Belle Vue is Midlands to us.). The southern teams have the combined Sdl/Mdl as well as the NL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Tsunami if that came across wrong i wasn't digging the NJL i was actually praising the fact that the majority of sides bear the main club name which indicates a level of support from the main team despite the dreadful lack of NL teams further up the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluru Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 As this is about Play-off contenders, I'll back Edinburgh and Berwick for sure (each has three Aussies in the side) plus Scunthorpe and Somerset (two each). Obviously, Birmingham, Eastbourne and Glasgow are non-starters -- no Aussies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wouldn't exactly be too difficult to organise, would it?...). Yes, but...... Two top scorers have an extra race. Each, if they are No 1 in their team, earns about £100 per point. The riders would expect to be paid for racing for the Helmet. That's an extra £500 to be paid out -- and I can't imagine the prospect of watching that race would bring in the extra thirty adults -- who wouldn't be coming otherwise -- to balance the books. So, although I'd love to see the Silver Helmet coming back, I can't see it as a feasible prospect.
