Tosh1218 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Anyone heard any rumours of how the leagues will be set and the Team average to start the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Poole back to the Premiership please. Oxford into the Championship has to be on the cards too given the comment from the track owner about Friday night meetings. I think they’ll stick with the rising star system but maybe tweak it slightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same riders in both league's apart from a few . And it costs a lot more to ride in the so called premiership, so I understand Poole staying where they are, more teams in the championship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Don't disagree with you. How the team finishing 6th can potentially call themselves champions is a lot of nonsense. By all means have post season play offs for say young shield or craven trophy or whatever they want but top of the league are champions. Rugby league would be the example to follow on this front 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not have the play-offs at the start of the season, than have the league to see who should've won? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Did nobody clock the crowds at Belle Vue and Peterboro last week? These massive roll-ups will have doubled, even trebled, the respective promotions' revenue over a regular meeting. Similarly, what about the huge interest in the soccer play-offs each year as clubs battle for promotion in their various leagues? Or the full-house attendances at ice-hockey play-offs at Nottingham every season? The revenue from being involved in play-offs is a massive boost to any club's financial year, and in some cases could make a difference between failing or surviving. Regardless of the "fairness" of it, they are here to stay, and the season-long league table is a qualification process, no more, no less. It is up to the promotions at every track to make their regular matches bright and entertaining enough to keep them close to their budget, while aiming for a shot at glory in the play-offs to put icing on the cake. Yes, speedway is a sport. It is also a business. Run a straightforward league with only one winner and see if you can stay in business. Money talks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
