Come on now....
It wouldn't be Speedway (in Britain), without some made up septet improved by bringing ringers in would it?
You can get away with in British Speedway what you cannot do in my lads U16 Sunday Football League as they all need photo profiles to show they are registered players on the league website, which the ref checks before the game..
British Speedway.... Tee Hee...
I wonder if they have ever considered doing 'fixed nights' for all the main European leagues to avoid such clashes?
Seriously, if you are going to have clashes, like happens every year, and you end up running loads of contrived nonsense meetings, like happens every year, then you might as well do it at weekends when crowds would be bigger..
Especially now the Football season is virtually finished..
The SoN at BV showed what a Saturday night crowd was like versus running the same meeting on a Monday or a Thursday...
You wouldn't have had a full house on either evening..
It's OK now for it all to be 'made up', the fans that are left expect nothing else, so do it when most of them can/will attend..
It doesn't really matter who wins..
