Gazc Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Leicester won the league who cares who wins over a two legged winter competition. Next season needs to change no enforced breaks in the Summertime and whoever finishes top at the end of the Marathon wins the league. Not whoever wins a two legged sprint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs are too well attended to bin them. I don't mind playoffs or league table either way tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole had probably their best attendance of the season on Wednesday, so playoffs (and finals) are certainly a financial benefit to clubs that are in them. For example Leicester will benefit from 3 coachloads of Poole fans plus many travelling independently who wouldn't necessarily all go to a normal league meeting.

We need to get back to simplifying the sport and that means league winners are champions. This season has been a farce stumbling from one balls up to another , fixture planning has been shambolic and it needs sorted. Just how I see it following Speedway can frustrate the life out you as it continually shoots itself in the foot.

IainB Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) The pay offs need reducing, drastically. Top of the league goes through to the final, 2nd & 3rd into a semi, winners to the final. It's been ridiculous this season how long Leicester have had to wait for Poole to get their arses into gear Edited October 27, 2022 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I get that but get the league done and dusted early and have a season ending cup competition, Would also love to see the Silver helmet return , the 4s the list is endless on how they can make the sport more attractive and more importantly making it easier to understand for any new fans that clubs need to attract.

40-38 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I always find it ironic that one off world finals were binned and the winner of the title decided over a season for consistency. In the league the most consistent team could end up not winning the league. Only Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hearing they haven’t managed to get on the track with tractor as it’s too wet with clumps of clay. Needs to dry out for tractor to be used. Not looking good at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Playoffs have been going for 20 years and have been the best thing to happen to the sport. Bloody love them, even when we finished top in 2010 and lost to a team 24 points behind us. Massive crowds, thrills and winners crowned Champs. Nothing better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could stage it at another venue. Could do it on aggregates from the league campaign or whoever finished top. All of those scenarios don't sit well with me though If needed to.... I am sure the powers that be will come up with a very sensible and very suitable idea..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
