What are the odds of Oxford NOT doing all 3 leagues in 2025. Yep, it's just a shame you're missing out on the best action in the UK because Poole can't afford it.

poole keith Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, Skidder1 said: How I get my 'wow' factor is entirely up to me. Watching Lawson, Brennan and Ben Cook against other heat leaders of similar standard is far better than watching Emil half a lap in front of various 'rising stars'. Each to their own as long as they still attend. That's really the problem this season there isn't another 2nd div team who have 3 heat leaders of similar standard to lawson,brennan and cook so it's more like a procession than a "wow".obviously the top division is better silly to say otherwise. Think for non speedway related reasons it suits the promoter at the moment to make decent relatively 'easy money " in the championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they will see it that way, as opposed to losing money in the Premiership.They don’t plead to Supporters Clubs to keep them afloat.

Gavan Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 (edited) It’s not rocket science that the top league is better to watch racing Ipswich dropped down and the racing was poor and boring but this season we have seen Emil Doyle Lindgren Bewley Kurtz Fricke to name but a few and you would rather see that then Lawson and Craig Cook lol By all means enjoy the second tier but don’t spout rubbish about the standard being comparable Saying who wants to see Emil v a rising star …. Well in that race Emil could be against Jack Holder at Sheffield with Jenkins and Gilkes what a race in prospect … better by a mile then Lawson Foord Craig Cook and McGurk lol Edited July 31 by Gavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy all levels whether that's an Emil or NDL racing. I've seen great and not so great racing at all levels. Remember, all the greats have to start somewhere. And you should've been at Glasgow on Friday especially heat 10 Ben Cook vs Bomber.......beat any race in the top league any day if ur into separating the leagues!

The quality of racing in NDL can be just as enthralling and entertaining without any star names. But as said previously, each to their own.

Each to their own as long as they still attend. Come on everyone, this has to be the most pointless argument I've ever seen in the forum, from seemingly the most innocuous of posts. If Skidder1 is happy watching Championship racing at Poole then good for him. If others think Premiership racing with Emil is better so they go watch that, then good for them. These are opinions, there is no right or wrong answer. I've seen both good & bad matches at all levels of the sport. I've seen people saying the SON at Belle Vue was amazing, I thought it was almost a bore fest & seen far better racing round there. I know someone who prefers the racing at Armadale to Scunthorpe, which I find astonishing. I just fail to see why people are arguing over this? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
