As has already been stated, it is not the bottom league of Poland at all. The standard is actually very good and features several Premiership ‘stars’ in the league like Kurtz, Holder, Tungate, Klindt, Musielak etc to just a few, plus Grand Prix rider Kai Huckenbeck. Because he wasn’t good enough first time around, Luke Becker has just been dropped by his team over there too - that shows you the type of standard that it is.

Yeah probably get a 90 day ban in November

Couldn’t agree with all of your points any more if I tried.

Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April
Najjer replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
That seems bonkers. Losing a rider because of injury or whatever reason should inevitably make your team weaker, that is the reality of it. Unfortunately they have now created a scenario where not only are you no longer weaker but you are actually far stronger. When riding at home with no logical reason using maths and statistics, you can get a guest with a higher percentage average than the missing rider. We now even have a scenario at Oxford where they’ve sacked and replaced a rider in Klindt, for Riss whilst keeping an injured rider in the side. There is no way that the league should of accepted that redecoration and the use of guests like Nicholls now. -

And get riders taking guest bookings and scoring nothing so it then lowers their average? That would be a daft idea. -

Not that it takes much, but Nicholls has outsmarted the rule makers/promotors. He technically signed for Wolves last year and has signed for Birmingham this year thus meaning he continues on a rolling average of not alot (not his Chanpionship converted) without guest bookings effecting that. He can continue to take guest bookings and scoring heavily without it effecting his average, picking and choosing which meetings he does to go alongside his TV work. -

Dont get me started…. -
Did you see Janowski’s opening match for Wroclaw? He was far worse for them than he has been for Oxford!
-
I see Vaculík has been mentioned on Facebook, although no idea how reliable that is….
-
Something tells me this is just the first move to make points available with a new signing on its way for Kerr
-
Klindt sacked - Riss in!
-
Yep, saved by the rain thankfully
-
Birmingham to win at 4/5 tonight - nice and simple
-
I think it’s a good point that Wolves usually visited on bank holiday, so the likes of Masters, Becker and Douglas won’t of visited much in recent years except Monday lunchtime - which the track will be far different to that tonight
-
Belle Vue -12 for me
-
Somerset speedway owners did own the land in which the track sat - but was approached with what I’m led to believe was “an offer which couldn’t be refused”. The clubhouse is now owned by a fuel company with surrounding car park areas now housing screwfix, Howdens kitchens and a Ford car garage.

Thats exactly what Sportowefakty does for British results - they even state at the beginning of the results that’s what they do too.

Workington v Berwick Border Trophy 31/03/24 3pm

I don’t want to sound like I’m running her down, but what exploits in the continent? -
The proof is in the pudding - look at Denmark. They currently run a whole league system off 5 man teams. We should be using this example as one to try and match. 5 riders with the 6th then a British junior completing the team.
-
Ah yes, a temp replacement like all teams should strive to do once an injury occurs, the opposite to what Plymouth have been able to achieve in this scenario. Nicholls guested once for Doyle (not twice) due to his wife being in labour, which is as good as an excuse you will get. For what it’s worth, if I was setting the rules then if only one rider is missing then it should be RR and no guests.
-
6 man teams instead of 7 - that is the first solution
-
It’s a sad state of affairs for the league and speedway in this country, not a solely Plymouth issue when a team is starting a brand new season with only 6 of their 7 permitted riders. Guests are the bane of the sport and it just gives a complete unprofessional look. The fact that teams and rule makers havn’t already come to this conclusion in advance that in the event of injury, there isn’t enough riders to cover and go round is the biggest worry of them all. This has now happened for at least 2 seasons for multiple teams but instead of doing anything about it, just continue to plow on with the farcical guest situation. The Premiership has started to get its act together and is becoming more professional and things are being put in place to make an overall better product - The Championship is being left behind massively.
-
Was there nobody else there to talk to?
-
Stop making such sensible suggestions - although, I’m going to assume even if this idea was explored it was quickly stopped to ensure the Premiership had 7 teams and less riders to find in the Championship.
-
How many times have I suggested that they should be 6 man teams? It makes no sense to be continuing in the Championship with 7 rider teams
