scampispeedway Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Steve, did the second NJL meeting take place because the Speedway Updates site only shows the first one which ended as a draw ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Second match was 3 riders per team with the withdrawal of both Owen Booth and Billy Budd, who were supposed to ride in both matches.

Guests, guests, guests... A member of the local rivals team helps as a guest. What an absolute joke. How can you expect fans to have any true passion for their team when it includes a member of their biggest rivals? Even more crazy when there is a member of the Monarchs team from this season sitting doing nothing that could have filled that place instead of a Tiger! And that's before we even get into the doubling up here and racing in other leagues abroad, which sees pretty much every team have "rival" riders that are team mates somewhere else...It takes so much away from the competitive team element. Is it really still a team sport at this point? Or just a bunch of individuals pulling on a random race suit/jacket each night? 6 man teams with riders earning more as they get more races. Riders not chosen in declared teams go in to an "assistance pot" where they are allowed to assist any team up to a maximum of appearances. Riders earn more, lessens doubling up/down, team identity no longer guest/joke issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect those that end up in any "assistance pot" would hang around for the odd booking, so how would they earn more? Likewise how would 6 man teams reduce doubling up/down unless you capped the number per team. If this was introduced would also reduce earnings potential of some of those who rode in both PL & CL, but no longer able to do so.

IronScorpion Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 In 6 man teams, the top rider will probably have 6 rides, the next 4 riders would have 5 rides & the lowest rider 4. How many guest riders do we use every week? 1-3? 4-6? 7-9? more? Riders can still go into the "assistance pot" even if they ride in 1 league but use the conversion rate as we do now.

IronScorpion Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Just last week alone, in 4 Premiership meetings, 1 had no guests, in the other 3 r/r x 1 G x 5. In the Championship, in which there were 9 meetings, not 1 used r/r or G, but r/r x 7 & G x 16 times was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
