If we don t want draws at speedway meeting s we could have a super heat after every 3/3 drawn heat . that would add to the excitement surely. If we don't want draws, use the scoring system from the pairs. You never have a drawn heat & it should also encourage team riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see many Peterborough fans seem to like it,maybe when the tables are turned they may change their minds.Many neutrals I would say are against it. I think it’s unnecessary, never liked the 4/3/2/0 scoring system either, glad we won and got some points but I don’t see an issue with a drawn meeting. Think a lot of old school fans will say it’s pointless and unnecessary where as maybe new younger fans might see it as a better idea, I’m on the fence but more leaning towards it’s pointless doing it and should be scrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are still peed off that Barry Briggs has retired and they've stopped selling dandelion and burdock. In cricket they have a super over to decide the outcome of a knock-out competition.. In the NBA they have 5 mins of overtime, and repeat the 5 minute periods until a team has more points (they don't introduce a different scoring system). As with many BSPA/L decisions, it's poorly thought out, and cheap. If British Speedway wants to modernise, it needs to do a darn sight more than tinker with the regulations ...

Noodles Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 10 hours ago, Col said: Football only have penalty shoot outs in finals. Rugby codes are happy with draws. Ice Hockey have a way to do it that works. Nothing wrong with a 45-45 in speedway. In 1989 Cradley drew with Belle Vue as a teenage Joe Screen ran rampant at Dudley Wood, never been so happy with a draw! Winning a last heat decider which is no more than this was essentially is always a buzz. Agreed. It isn't. Penalty shoot outs in finals only? That's not correct.

Sheffield should really have gone home with two points and P'boro one but as you say an entertaining sixteenth heat is good for those who were there. I welcome new ideas but I can't see myself being convinced by this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Super Heat is a great idea imo. Extra race, extra drama at no extra cost = WIN WIN WIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one appreciate anyone who does the updates they do a great service for anyone wanting to keep up with the scores.With me being 50+ years old i can remember waitng up until late hoping the final scores would appear on ceefax/teletext,or having to ring the speedway hotline which would cost you a fortune.Now you can see the scores race by race with comments for free and we get people like you criticising and making terrible remarks like that.

I'm sure if it was done about KL you wouldn't be happy? But will find out for myself on Friday when Poole are there. Will be going on mute if it gets too unprofessional!

This is also the same guy who basically convinced Godfrey to allow them to stream meetings at Scunthorpe. So you should be thankful to him for you not having to travel 6+ hrs up from Poole and Spend £100+ on Friday night to be able to see the meeting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he did apologise for it. So we will see on Friday if he means it or just trying to pacifying the customers. I don't think it is a lot to ask for. Have watched streams from Poole, Plymouth and Redcar and they don't find it hard to be respectful to the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
