A Development thought for 2025!

The suggestion I have heard from an aspiring rider (now 15 years old riders parent) has a slightly different take on the rumours above.

That is that the existing Clubs are happy with the size and structure and a few of them don't want nor can see viability in extra Fixtures above the current size.

To facilitate the other existing clubs that want to join or rejoin (presunmably to fill some gaps in CL especially fixtures) and any new Clubs will have their own League run on the same agreed format with 6 man teams.

That though will be a "win" for Riders as they can ride in the existing League and the new League, so potentially doubling opportunities to race. There will be no cross-over add on competitions though between the existing a new League.

It will be interesting to see if this idea, or a more anticipated geographical structure sees the light of day.

 

It's a good idea let's hope that if they run 6 man teams they give all riders 5 rides , no using one reserve 7 times and others only getting 3 rides. It's a development league and you don't develop being pulled out of your heats. 
there will be doom and gloom posters who think it's rubbish but with a lack of competitive riders at that level 10 plus teams can't run without separating the league. 
also can't wait for the it should be an upright league brigade to chip in.

I don’t think managers do that in this league or at least hope they don’t. It’s all about rider development so not having them take their four rides is ridiculous and shortsighted.

doesnt really matter how its structured, if it means more riders getting more rides on more different tracks then its all good

this level of speedway is about development pure and simple, or should be

Of course it matters how it's structured.

No rider is going to double his outlay to ride for 2 teams to get 3 rides in each meeting!

6 man Teams 5 rides each is as simple a solution to rider development you can get or you end up with double the scenario we have now of 1 rider getting 14 rides in 2 meetings and another getting 6 for the same outlay

agree with all that

didnt explain myself very well, i meant two separate leagues with the same riders overlapping is fine in my book

absolutely agree that you cant have the six rides / fourteen rides split

at the end of the day more opportunities for developing young riders is the way forward
