A ORLOV Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Would prefer the team managers to decide who goes out in 14 and 15 providing once the choice is made it cannot be changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say , a ridiculous idea. Keep it simple and address the real problems, not make new ones..... If they vote for the 2 weakest of the 4 to go in ht 14 then we go with the 2 strongest in ht15. Unless of course they have held 1 or 2 riders back for ht 15 if they prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the idea is that all four riders can be voted for, so those who win the vote go into 14, therefore two cannot be held back, or have I got this stupid idea wrong.

Yes,,,, you can hold back riders for 15, but since no one would know what the score may be by then, unless already miles ahead by heat 10,,then that would be an extremely risky thing to do.

Baldyman Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I understand why they are doing it,, but they way they are doing it is a bit mickey mouse. A bit more thought may needed in future if it's to be kept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those ridiculous extra heats in the KOC a few years ago. I avoided those meetings like the plague. All of these gimmicks won't put many extra bums on the seats, if any. Why would this idea make people not go? If people don’t like the concept then just pretend it doesn’t exist and treat heat 14 as another nominated heat, go to enjoy the racing and don’t worry about it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had any local venues still running i might pop along. I certainly wouldnt travel long distance to watch it, those days are long gone.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a parade nor a trophy giving. Just the racing for me and if there’s a re run I only watch from where the original was stopped so I don’t go over the 15mins per meeting. What we like eh? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The reason I find the fan voting nonsense so tedious is it really has no bearing on the meeting. You jave a pick between the top 4 scorers. It's totally irrelevant and nullified which heat they go in. It's just a pointless exercise imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 It was a good laugh on Monday. A young girl from our lot was helping fans, home and away sort it out. It got us all talking and laughing on a cold cold night. More of the same I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I just can't see where fans standing around on a cold night waiting for Twitter votes to be made and counted can be entertaining . I think this voting by the fans idea is ridiculous . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The poll opens after heat 10 and closes after heat 13 and there’s no counting as Twitter keeps score automatically so I don’t think there will be any ‘standing around’. No reason why it shouldn’t all happen within the normal flow of the meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
