SteveLyric2 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 If Premiership clubs had a free choice of race night how many would vote for continuing on Mons/Thurs? Especially if more teams from the Championship are to be tempted up? Thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Wasn't it orginally supposed to be Mon and Weds, till the promoters were to slow to claim it and then Denmark took Weds!! Only us and Brum ride Weds, if they are having problems they prob don't want to move up. Though KL might vote Weds. But if the protected race nights stays and can only be 2, Ipswich and Peterborough might want to keep Thursdays? Skidder, is this you hinting at Poole would move up if they can have Weds in the Prem??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 With so much doubling up/down, between PL and CL surely there is very little room for manoeuvre? Although Chris van stratos wants more clubs in the PL ..... they need to think about how they might fit in their few fixtures next season. Far too many call offs due to clashes with football on the telly, clashes with Cardiff SGP, clashes with SON promoters thinking the weather might be dodgy, and next year we have the Commonwealth games in Birmingham. Speedway UK shuts down in the summer ( usually to coincide with kids summer holidays) Every year we end up with the p offs run on bogs of tracks in poor conditions. They either need to run EVERY week during the summer , or reduce the number of official fixtures and fill the rest of the season with challenge meetings. Poole in the PL . Think Fordie has more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 In a perfect world I would like to see the 2022 Premiership run Mondays & Wednesdays with TV meetings on Tuesdays so not to effect crowds. "Star" riders can choose between the UK or Denmark/ Sweden with the one's choosing the UK getting 2 UK meetings per week over their Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday stayover. Championship to run Thursday, Friday & Saturday with limited doubling-up. Division 3 or whatever you want to call it to run mainly Sundays & again restricted doubling-up. Not likely to happen I know...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
