Ghosty Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago I hope that the promoters see sence & vote for 2x home & 2x away for a worthwhile league fixture list for 2025. By that I mean worthwhile for both the riders & fans & even the stadium owners Can we also have someone different doing the fixture list PLEASE.. PREMIER LEAGUE. Why don't we run the U.K. Premeir league on Wednesdays & Thursday? You then only have to fly all the superstars in & out once saving a fortune! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago It's now October and the main finals still to be played, this with 1 home 1 away, no chance of completing season with 2 home 2 away especially with 2 blank weekends for the 2 uk GPs, and other events that take young riders away at weekends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) The simple fact Oxford have already stated they will be doing all three leagues again next season suggests there's no way it's returning to 2 home and 2 away format in 2025. They would never be able to fit all the fixtures in. Edited 18 hours ago by Bojangles 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the other Championship clubs wish to have more fixtures then tough luck for Oxford! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were several 2/3 week gaps at most clubs too. Edited 18 hours ago by Jaizer . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was more the fact that there is likely to be some sort agreement already in place for Oxford to declare they are running in three leagues, otherwise they would have surely waited. It wasn't an 'Oxford are doing this, so screw the rest of the league comment'. Strange how some people take comments the wrong way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixture lists do usually have a couple of dates reserved for restagings. Plus there were Saturdays blocked for the British Final and Cardiff when no-one could run. I'm not saying it was ideal, but there were reasons. Personally, l'd never start the season til late April. That would soak up blank weeks, and run meetings in warmer weather, too...

It's very rarely warm at Berwick though!! 😜 😆 It it's 1H & 1A again start the season in mid-late April and try to run every 2/3 weeks, job done.

But if Oxford had to pull out of the Prem because the Champ had twice as many fixtures, what happens if Birmingham can't compete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairboy Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Here's a ground-breaking, revolutionary thought. How about one or two of the Championship clubs who want more fixtures running an NDL team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again a good idea in principle but lack of riders and for some reason a lot of fans don't embrace it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
