Initially the UK had Monday and Thursday as their allowed priority nights.. Due to Poland taking Sunday, (and then subsequently Friday), Sweden Tuesday, and Denmark Wednesday as you say... The UK (due to Poole riding on Wednesday), then took Monday, Wednesday and Thursday as their TWO allotted nights... When they seem to have trouble counting such low numbers correctly, it probably explains why the sport is in the position it is over here... And why we cannot calculate an RS riders' average...

To be honest the Poles run on whatever night suits them - no matter what they've agreed to prioritise - as well as insisting riders attend for practice on other non-race days. Sweden have been running Tues and Thurs for a few seasons, with Denmark Wednesdays and the occasional Fridays!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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...... In a perfect world, clubs would be running on nights that make the most economic sense for them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 If Belle Vue rode on Saturday nights I'd happily make the trip up there to watch every week despite living less than a mile and half away from the Leicester track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should get rid of Sheffield, Ipswich and Wolves then All tracks have a night they like to ride on, its the night the fans are used to attending, when they get the highest gate, look what happened to Rye House when they swapped nights to suit what league they were in 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it will not happen because too much self interest is involved coupled with a distinct lack of vision on what’s required to get British Speedway on the up.

So you want to get rid of half the top league? 3 teams should be good, could run as a three team tournament at every track every week, that should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the BSPL could check in with them for some guidance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
