Sidney the robin Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) With the season nearly over in November there has to be discussion and changes will it happen though.? I am not hopeful to be honest i hope i am wrong the three thing's i would like to see happen are. 1./ at least 10 teams in the Premiership ( pref 12) 2./ Premiership and Championship teams to have at least one young Brit at reserve. 3/.Riders to have one average only including bonus points not a rolling average changing only at the last day of every month any thoughts.!!

More teams and British reserves with no foreign ringers are a must for me. From a Swindon point of view, if we don't name Doyley first and build down then it will be another massive mistake like 2018. Hopefully Rosco has learned the lesson, you don't bin the league's best rider especially when he wants to ride for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Whilst I see the logic in fixed race days I think it has been a massive mistake, as it has deprived teams of traditional home nights and has had a massive effect on availability of guests to cover for injuries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you on Doyley, you build your team around him i do think when Doyley had his 2018 year at Somerset that was all down to finance.I like the top five team build, then all you are hoping to do is find a gem to put at reserve.Rasmus now has really give us a nice 2020 team building headache to who we keep for our 2020 team for me Doyley/ Perks would be my fist declared.

DC2 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I’d like to see AGM proposals for speedway to live within its means and offer better value for money for fans. That’s got to be the only formula that gives speedway a future, rather than propping up the current failing venture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will put money into Sheffield to replace Peterborough to keep the sinking premiership ship just afloat for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 A 3xdivision regional set-up has certainly been discussed at the BSPA table. Not sure what level (points limit?) it would be at and not sure if its still seen to be a viable option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I would like:- 1) a home meeting every week. 2) away team to visit once only per season. 3) no double-up riders. 4) less gardening at the gate! 5) a heat structure that ensures heat leaders achieve a higher average. 6) riders to adapt machinery to weather conditions AND RIDE. 7) in the event of r/r a #8 to be named and given at least one ride. 8) yellow/black helmet colour to return. 9) first race to start prompt at advertised start time. 10) a points system that allows a League Table to be understood. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoters who think fans will turn up every week and watch their team lose more often than not are playing a dangerous game. Peterborough fans generally will support a competitive team, I am not convinced that what league they are in (Premiership or Championship) is that important. We do have Supporters who turn up every week regardless of results but success or not does affect our attendance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't get my head around the current league point scoring system, never have been able to. Can never remember whether it's 6 or more than 6 to get or lose the extra point and an away draw getting more than a home draw is just ridiculous 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I would like the following: - - An 11/12 team premiership, 1 home & 1 away fixture. Fed up of seeing the same team twice in a season. Doesn't happen in any other league. - 1 Brit U21 rider at reserve. Bring these boys on, we have some very talented youngsters coming through. Give them a platform to preform on. - 42.5 team limit, don't reduce this down & we should be looking to encourage riders back, not restrict this. JD said in the Swindon programme last Thursday that Sweden is on the decline & it's time for the Uk to take advantage. - Limit the number of team changes per season/or changes can only be made because of injury. Too many sides made changes for the sake of it. - Do away with the TV deal & perhaps follow what the football league does with ifollow. Stream meetings at a cost on the clubs website. £10-£15 per meeting. I think most would pay £10 to watch their team away from home. Could you geo block it so that you can only watch away meeting's & therefore still keep the crowds coming through the turnstiles for home meetings.

Ovalman Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Definitely more teams, 16 if possible, knock-out cup, regular fixtures on regular nights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to have a top division again it needs two or three additions, seven clubs just doesn’t work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the idea of home win more than 6 3 points home win by 1-6 home team 2 points away team 1 point or bring back the bonus point for aggregate score.

ray c Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 lets be honest the drawing system for a draw is a farce the home team drew the meeting and then lost the meeting on points ugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
