RS50 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Something I would like to know. I know this is a difficult and uncertain time for promoters, but just about everything I have heard is rather vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 They cannot meet as a group but have been having weekly Zoom meetings as quoted by Mr Dickson in the Star this week and on the BSPL website today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 a 38 point limit would be good for the future of the sport in general and also weed out those high earners and force them into the top league to stop them milking it ! just mi opinion lyke .

We already know of at least 4 teams that will have to make changes (Swindon, Leicester, Newcastle Kent). So if 95% are not making changes then that means there must be another 76 teams in the two leagues that are not making changes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Birmingham will be forced into a change (unless a certain rider is digging a tunnel). Doubt if Pedersen will be at Sheffield. Sheffield also indicated early on that there would be another change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because constantly lowering the points limit over the past 20 odd years has worked so well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well as keeping the odd "GP star" on big money at certain tracks but not all has.... Typically a lack of leadership to go either one way or the other has led to the 'Speedway Answer' which is always a 'halfway house', or in other words the "Let's try to appease everyone and get to the end of this season, then we will sort it all out (again)" 'solution'.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
