So in theory you could be done for the year by the end of June. Shambles really. End of August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will suit some Clubs more than others.Clubs with aNDL Team can fill in fixture blanks.Not sure if it viable for some though.Crowds not that great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunthorpe for example don’t have national league side could get knocked out first round of the KO cup not qualify out the group of the league cup and could be finished all their home matches by the end of June/middle of July. How is that viable for a clubs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on both 3 Clubs objected to 2 home and 2 away which result in c change and egg on Mr Ford face. Funny how 3 clubs dictate to the majority and change the pre AGM agreed 2 home and away fixtures. Which 3? Must have been at least 1 with some clout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only 3 did not want 2 home and 2 away it wouldn't have gone through with 5 clubs wanted it Surely ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very interesting to know which 3 clubs right enough.Obviously a really democratically run organisation if 3 clubs can outvote the other 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just delivered a huge blow not only to us supporters but riders as well. 11 home meetings, hardly worth bothering with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I suspect that you will find the three clubs who did not want the 2H + 2A format all had NDL teams and said they would drop out of the NDL which would have possibly finished the NDL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaymen Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 What a shambles lose a club and in turn a meeting lost, was a short season as it was for scunthorpe Why bother at all We was really looking forward to home and away twice format a meeting what means something Ar well another nail in the coffin for speedway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Some riders must seriously be considering coming over now there is even less fixtures. Is it financially viable for a foreign rider from Europe or Australia to come across and ride just championship? Again watering down the product. Going to use Jacob Hook as an example a young rider who’s just finished his first season over here not good enough to double up quite yet. Is it viable for Someone like him to come across the pond invest in machinery etc for what a minimum of what 24 fixtures home and away? Doubt it.

szkocjasid Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I'm not sure why people think it'll be such a short season. For most clubs it's only one less home match, given the play-offs didn't get completed till November, I don't understand how any promoter thought they could fit in 2 home & 2 away (unless they got rid of the play-offs). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
