Sixth play off spot starting to look interesting ? Leicester still got a bit to catch up, though 2 of them are against Glasgow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lose just one point whilst others lose up to seven.... How do they manage to get away with it?.... One rule for them, one rule for the rest....

old bob at herne bay Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 light the blue and white touchpaper and  off we go    Surely in the interests of Speedway they will gift Poole the Championship KO Cup ?

Poole have an extra away match to pay due to getting no home match against Eastbourne. On the other hand Redcar have had a home match and don't have an away meeting to pay.

mikebv Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Surely there has to come a time when Promoters take a step back, put their own egos away, and realise that what they are doing simply doesnt work? Its clear that "Championship Lite/NDL Plus" is the (maximum) level for so many.. Not "Premiership Lite".. If your crowd is less than 1000 why would you be paying Premiership Heat Leaders? Premiership Heat Leaders dont forget whose very presence has delivered that less than 1000 crowd!! The sport is now down to the die hards, with the vast majority of whom willing to watch anything served up and packaged as "Team Speedway" (as is proved by their regular attendance even after well over a decade of contrived output), therefore why spend hundreds of thousands in delivering it?. For me, the sport (all sports), need a standard bearer to aspire to, so maybe you could get 8 teams to be the pinnacle with 5 man teams. Meaning the best 40 riders ride in that league.. The rest then race in an 11 team "Championship Lite/NDL Plus" level, with the best riders providing injury cover to the top league by being affiliated to the teams there.. Meaning no guests in the top league!! Grade the top 40 riders, A to E and set a mean average based on their total points divided by 40. This will then ensure no team with money can get the best rider from every grade.. Put simply, your crowd level should deliver the level you race at, not the ego of the Promoter..

That should have happened a decade or so ago, will that really happen now? Perhaps there's a number of clubs they have to get down to first, maybe single figures before it happens? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
