Got to get to the final first and ensure huge crowd for final. See how they do against Sheffield this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Speedway surely needs to look outside of the box with their views of promoting the sport. Cricket just held its T20 finals day....sell out crowd at £89 a ticket for 3 games of cricket...... Speedway left squabbling over who plays who until a few days beforehand, who can race who on what day....... needs some 21st Century promotion.

So £30 for each match and speedway fans complain their sport is over priced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League winners are champions then do a play off competition separate at the NSS or even at the league winners track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 If you did something similar to T20, you'd need a squad system in play. Imagine if you lose a couple of riders but scrape through to the final Then what? Scrounge from the side you just beat in the Semi, it would look even more Mickey Mouse IMO.

LisaColette Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Doesn't mean anything though. Playoffs are to win the league, you certainly won't get the same crowd level imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Eurosport won’t be happy tonight, they were all set to make the big announcements tonight about playoffs. Will now have to wait till Thursday and they won’t know where they are are going next Monday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both legs will go down to the wire. Compare that to the dross in Poland. I can't wait for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've changed your tune (panthers were going to romp it) However Panthers are still favourites, having the choice of opponents is still a very useful post advantage.

Should be exciting stuff if the weather plays ball. I've enjoyed most of the British speedway coverage this year and definitely something to build on for next year - hopefully a bigger Premier League or even just one big league. New places to visit, different tracks for the cameras, not seeing the same riders all the time etc. Here's hoping! Here's my points system for this year's TV action (out of ten). British Speedway 7.5, Grand Prix 5, SON 3. The GP's have gone stale and need new life and the SON in no shape or form matches up to the old WTC. Just my opinion of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly!!. Edited September 21, 2021 by Bluenose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relevance of the GP and the SON to British Speedway has diminished considerably over recent years.
