Arson fire 4,785 Posted November 17, 2013 If the points limit is lowered then can't help feeling mr ford has been one step ahead of the game again in already having josh G, Dyer, Tungate and Howarth at his disposal..... Pretty much a monopoly on the cream of the crop on their averages..... It will be a no contest IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget THJ To be honest, Regardless of the points limit; Matt Ford is always one step ahead as he's the most prepared and successful promoter.

AlanF 295 Posted November 17, 2013 I'm afraid you have not thought it through, you could have a 21 points limit with 7 riders all on 3 points, but by the end of the year some would still be on 3 and some would be on 9 points or more and some in the middle. The new 9 pointers would be asking for 9 pointer heat leader money and certainly more than the 3 pointers. Will the promoters say to them, you can't be paid more because you are only a 3 pointer Conference rider who just happens to be a heat leader because the League has been weakened so much. The promoters need protecting from themselves. Whatever the points limit, they have to be prepared to say no to riders who want more than can be afforded. If they pay a 7 point rider who would be a #1 in a watered down league what they are paying today's #1 then they deserve to go out of business. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted November 17, 2013 I only hope that some of the warnings have been taken on board, and that a cohesive package for the future of Speedway has been agreed at the AGM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted November 17, 2013 I just saw on twitter a 44 point limit, 2 brits per team and no black and white helmet tactical ride. I got all excited then realised it was someone's wish list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thommo34 45 Posted November 17, 2013 I can't help but think that if the points limit is to be reduced, they should also reduce teams to be 6 man teams. That would reduce costs and reduce the number of doubling up (or down) riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
