Swedish league play-off Final 2nd leg Tuesday October 4th Live on TV
topsoil replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Less than 500 at Masarna last week -
British speedway is a joke.
topsoil replied to chrismorton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Go down the route of Isle of Wight and bring back Upright bikes, with riders from the 70s, or Flatrack racing. That should bring on the youngsters. It's all about the future. Or maybe just pick brambles while the racing is on. Or maybe copy Poland and bring in the Lucky Loser concept to spice up the playoffs and "make every heat count" (or not as it turns out). -
Polish Extraleague play- off Final 2nd leg Sunday 25th September Live on TV

It was never close, thanks to the format, with only Torun winning at home last week. Every race counts? Maybe next year. Come on the Torun Losers. -

Bullets playoff meeting? Ah I see what it says on the website now. -

Credibility like the Lucky Loser playoff system? -

Both team A and team B are out because they have been beaten on aggregate. Unless football suddenly wants to adopt Lucky Losers. -

What I'm really hoping for now is the Lucky Loser to win their semi-final and in the final met the team who beat them in the quarter finals. Then the Lucky Loser beats the team who had earlier knocked them out of the playoffs. -

That would be even more hilarious if Team B would go through, despite an absolute hammering. -

Basically, if you only get beat by a little bit, you go through to the next round. -

I hope they're version of a meeting doesn't catch on. Even the meeting reports in the Speedway Star mention the vast differnce in the atandard of riders. I did laugh at the latest promotion gimmick in the Speedway Star. The promotion wasn't going to charge punters for picking brambles growing on bushes in the ground. Might have been more entertaining than the racing i suppose. -

Ha they had a good NL set up then took the huff. The standard of the NL has gone up in the last two years and IOW are left with grasstrack bikes, flattracks and the odd NL rider who cant get a team place. Is that really entertainment? Thats why they have to rely on gimmicks. -

Isle of wight. Just grasstrack and gimmicks. -

So there was no incentive to finish top of the table if the number 1 seed in the semis is the team who scores the higheat points on aggregate in the quarters? -

Do number 1 seed Lublin meet the Lucky Loser in the semis? -
UK speedway slowly dying

Got mine for £25 on the day at the tickets office. Top tier, third bend, great view. And plenty space to stretch out and move about if you wanted. -

Considering three of these days were for the Championship Pairs and Cardiff GP weekend, plus only one team rides on a Tuesday night. What do you expect? -
How Many Riders Constitute a Team?

Didn't know that to be honest, I'm too young (honest) to remember. I only found out about White City through a recent Speedway Star -

You never got this in the old days. You certainly never got White City operating r/r all season for a rider they never had in the first place. You certainly never got Exeter being allowed a gueat facility for Ivan Mauger who only agreed to ride home meetings. -
Berwick v Plymouth Championship 06/08/2022
topsoil replied to screm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Jenkins wasn't taken off, he tried to go round Kasper, got in the deep stuff and slid off. He also got away with one when he took off Ben Morley in heat 8. Both meetings reminded me of the National League in the 70/80's when Southern teams would come up and at the end of a tour be stuck with injuries and get hammered. Same when Berwick used to go to the likes of Eastbourne and Mildenhall and regularly get 60 put on them even in 13 heats. -
You forgot to add Lucky Loser. Something else you can only get in Poland.

Maybe they thought they might still get through as a Lucky Loser? -
