Lots of people keep bringing this one up but Nobody has a tangible idea or sensible suggestion of how to do it !

The ideas are there, but infighting, self interest and inertia stops them being implemented.

It's amazing what can be achieved when finance is rarely an issue! Polish clubs still need to be given a licence to run in their chosen leagues next season.

It's certainly an issue for Wroclaw this year ...

Does anybody exactly when the AGM is taking place?

Somewhere in Spain this week.

Matt Ford asked if he could show the benefits of  "cloud seeding" (to artificially order rain clouds at set pre designated times) procedure he proposes to keep the dust down at Poole but it went a bit ** up!

Around 15-16th in tenerife,  so much for cost saving 

Spanish Islands are pretty cheap in the winter months - quite possibly a saving on holding it in rip off Britain.....

so looks like league 2 in poland will have 2 live TV matches on Thursdays next season,

 

so will be an interesting AGM next week regarding fixtures.

In a word NO....mid March to end of August is 24 weeks and there 24 matches in the league alone, wouldnt account for any rain offs, the obvious pause for world cup week and no chance of running the KO cup.

The fact is its hard enough to cover injuries/guests now but if everyone had to ride on exactly the same night then the league would descend further into a farce

Also add in the fact that Sheffield and Ipswich certainly wouldnt want to run without a majority of Thursday meetings throughout the season

If only the UK had Thursday as their priority night....

I wonder if anyone has considered asking if this could be possible...?😯😝

Not forgetting that with 7 teams in the league, 1 would be sitting out each week, so it would take a minimum of 28 weeks to run all the league matches if only a single night was used.

And with 6 teams riding every week, how long before someone starts cancelling matches because they can't get decent guests (having only one team* to chose from)

 

* auto correct changed this to tea machine!!!

guests are going to be a pain next year anyway as most matches will have to be monday

 

obviously you can race thursdays but would have to work around poland and that would mean plenty of late fixture changes to avoid clashes.

And might in turn require additional guests.
