I’d rather see a competitive league than a side of 5 3/4 pointers getting hammered home and away. with 2/3 non Brits taking part is it really affecting the league as much as you’re making out? not really.

This can surely be sorted @ this time with the 2 fixture co-ordinators involved. Then with that sorted I wish the 2023 fen tigers good crowds an enjoyable free from injuries season with all home meeting completed with-in 2 hours. If this isn't possible it's time to start looking to build a new (free from bangers) track. Nobody else bothered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The Stock Car and Banger fixtures have been published so the Speedway should be able to work around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ones of the 7/8 point average riders are being taken by commonwealth riders? Only reason they’re being used is cause there isn’t enough capable heat leaders about.

Not sure on averages but when there is riders of this calibre missing out how can the argument of not enough riders of heat leader level be substantiated. I also believe it's a strong competitive league and thoroughly looking forward to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I got shot down on a Facebook group when I suggested British Riders such as those mentioned above should be used as number 1s and captain for each team (1 per side) in like a draft system forget about their averages and have a lower points limit to use for the other 6 riders per side.

Because when they diluted the league a couple of seasons ago they have ended up with a fair proportion of "second string/third HL level" riders on quite highly inflated averages due to riding against much weaker opposition at the bottom end of teams? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
