Noelinho Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 What's the penalty if it doesn't happen? Is there any incentive for the teams to organise the meeting still, given it's a dead rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what but one best avoided Fair enough. I guess you'd get in trouble with season ticket holders too. Obviously if it was an Ashfield match I'd be all in favour of holding it because the answer to "do you want to watch speedway at Ashfield" is, "yes", every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's beaten up physically and taking time out to recover, hopefully to smash the daylights out of Poole where it matters on the track with big points. Poole are hated because of there success, happens in all sports, people hate winners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't in any way referring to your question Rather the Poole originated innuendo winks and tripe that followed. I also hope Craig can come back fit and well, and lead Glasgow to some silverware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) This entire season seems to have become a fiasco, they've now started the quarter finals before the league stage has even finished and the Jubilee Joke Cup seems to have largely been forgotten. I can see this season finishing in November after a 2 month sabbatical (August/September) by which time the weather will be dreadful and nobody will be able to afford their electricity bill let alone a ticket to the speedway. It's almost as if very few people inside the sport (excluding the riders) seems to care because i don't hear much complaint from anyone of any note. Even the Tigers Twitter feed seems to have been taken over by the keepers of the Eilean Mor lighthouse who have decided to leave everything as they found it and flee. The entire situation is bizarre.

I agree,it seems like a mid season break unannounced.The sport is struggling to run 20 fixtures in a season now.The power at be have to get the riders availability under control.They just do as the please.Building GB Speedway around riders foreign commitments is doing nothing but harm to the sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 As far as the Jubilee league fixtures are concerned, Poole Promoter Danny Ford has stated the plan is to schedule all 3 fixtures within a 7-10 day window!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. When the club's decided wanted a home leg each for jubilee final the bspl should just have gone you've a free date this date that's your home leg deal with it. Having it after the play offs in the cold and most likely wet of October/ November is going to entice no-one. Not having a go at anyone in particular but need much stronger leadership and dare I say an independent chairman/ board. Glasgow and Leicester haven't had champ matches for weeks, should have been done and dusted by now imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the problem regarding some fans who will be out of the habit of attending. The new fans will be wondering what is going on, thinking if it is a part-time sport, and then maybe tune in to Eurosport and see Glasgow and Edinburgh Riders riding for different teams. And then I wonder why nobody I know takes it seriously. Edited September 6, 2022 by Gazc 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
