old bob at herne bay Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Next stage in the planned demise of UK league speedway is surely home meetings every other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the dates & tracks for the four matches were already decided! The final finishing order only decided who went where when!

Not sure this would be a demise Speedway is no longer like the 70s/80s etc there are more things to do now than back in the day Every week there is something to distract you from speedway, having less speedway could be a good thing as it may then be appreciated more by fans when its offered For me speedway every week for say 5 or 6 months would be an overkill as there are other things i like to do, if there were fewer meetings id attend then do my other interests as there would be more freedom to do them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something, (whilst any rider can ride for any team, on any give night), Speedway will never have... The UK version of the sport obviously, those who run it like a "proper team event" do attract major sponsors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy people get out of the habit with these breaks.Needs to be same day every week and on a day that works for the track.Friday or Saturday to get me back too.

RS50 Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Anything been said about finals play off dates?. I would assume, if semis completed on time, would be Monday/Thursday 10th and 13th October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I gather it could be Monday October 10th Belle Vue v Sheffield. OR Wolves v Belle Vue Thursday October 13th Sheffield v Belle Vue. OR Belle Vue v Wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
