PhilTheAce Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 PZM and BSPL are to agree a deal that Poland have priority on Thursdays but riders can ride in 2 other leagues instead of 1..... the Thursday will only be used for rain offs so won’t be that many. so some riders will return. Which is good. Poland is still the winner though. But it’s a start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Works if the prem has 8 sides and run home and away once, no pairs gimmicks and no league or KO CUP Runs its league fixtures between May and end of August. Championship is weakened, currently 8 sides but prem sides are encouraged to run an additional side within it so could wither become 16 sides of regional leagues of 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 A lot of names won't be returning regardless, Clubs won't rack up debt in this country. 2 Leagues doesn't help with the Danish riders as they'll all be riding in Denmark for sure and they'll more than likely opt for the extra money in Sweden.

Or are you thinking of Glasgow moving up, as seems a chance Edinburgh might be able to stay at their track for 2023 whilst looking for something else.

I certainly think the poles have the better side of that deal. Makes it less likely Thursday clubs will sign Extraliga riders but the poles were never going to give up the 1 league rule without getting something back in return 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Great business by the poles Thursday,Fridays & Sundays all protected for their 8 team league. Goes to show how strong they are & how weak the UK is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might drop Thursday’s- not confirmed Can’t see to many choosing GB for an extra league possibly Woffinden, Lambert, Bewley and Chris Holder, Lidsey maybe whereas Denmark and Sweden will be popular to the rest.

I think Thursdays were introduced when Sweden had 9 teams riding so, now that they are back to 8 Thursday racing might be considered unnecessary.

Flappy Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 If the premier League is going 42.5 with no rising star plus a new team I reckon they need another 15 riders to become available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will stick with 39 with 0 rising star meaning diluting the product again. That’s what they love to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 In practice then, if a club has a Thursday match, and it has rained the previous Sunday in Poland, what then? Re-arrange a scheduled fixture? (popular with fans who have made arrangements?). Use guests or R/R? (fans wanting to see their own ridery, not to mention availability problems). Can not think why BSPL would agree to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
