Paul Johnson 285 Posted September 23, 2015 just seems strange to me that a reserve in the el now could be a pl number 1, ie, steve worrall or josh auty, , would the system be run same as el? 2 reserve races? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 23, 2015 just seems strange to me that a reserve in the el now could be a pl number 1, ie, steve worrall or josh auty, , would the system be run same as el? 2 reserve races? Surely thats a sign of how good the draft has become. There was a time that EL reserves were journey foreigners, some capable of being PL number 1s. The EL brought in a load of British kids and are now seeing them rise to the level of the ex-EL reserve by becoming decent PL riders and now being talked about as being capable of holding down an EL 1-5 place.

Bostonian 188 Posted September 24, 2015 I'd be quiet happy for Sheffield to have a bash in the Elite! If the FTD stays, could still use Bates at reserve along with maybe Sargeant. Steady would slot in the top 5 and I'm sure the promotion could get in some good names for us to be competitive. Love to see the likes of Holder, Janowski and NKI fly round Owlerton! Can't see it being a bad thing at all, just depends if thats what the promotion want or not just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted September 24, 2015 Think the bad things would be increased prices, missing riders, no continuity of race night, no discernible difference in the standard of racing for the most part, having to read/listen to people whinge about everything being Pooles fault, less meetings?, riders saying they are injured on any night of the week when their Polish, Swedish or Danish club are not riding etc etc I would no doubt enjoy the racing as I enjoy speedway generally, but I don't feel the need for us to go Elite 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cupidstunt 92 Posted September 25, 2015 Sheffield will not go Elite League, I'm sure the promotion and still building up in the PL after years in the wilderness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,049 Posted September 25, 2015 There has been talk of Sheffield going EL before, obviously they have the facilities, but it didn't happen then and I cant see what has changed for it to happen now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 125 Posted September 25, 2015 Its felt like a dry run for the EL with all the thursday nights we've sat at home because we had no one to ride against. Maybe Tai would ride on a thursday at the track that gave him his PL debut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted September 25, 2015 IMO it's best to wait for the AGM before thinking of teams for next season. If they lower the points limit substantially in the PL, it would not really be viable for teams to sign up the likes of Simon Stead, Craig Cook, Danny King etc. Who knows what they will come up with, but I definitely do not want us to go EL.

squall 270 Posted September 27, 2015 1. Stead 2. Castagna 3. Bates 4. Garrity 5. Kurtz 6. Sissis 7. Wajknecht Now for Spinny to do the math! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,918 Posted September 27, 2015 1. Stead 2. Castagna 3. Bates 4. Garrity 5. Kurtz 6. Sissis 7. Wajknecht Now for Spinny to do the math! To the naked eye I would say its over the limit. 1. Stead 2. Castagna 3. Bates 4. Garrity 5. Kurtz 6. Sissis 7. Wajknecht Now for Spinny to do the math!

squall 270 Posted September 27, 2015 But more than likely be: 1. Stead 2. Bates 3. Proctor/Bellego 4. Compton 5. Garrity 6. Sissis 7. Castagna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bostonian 188 Posted September 28, 2015 read this post, leave it a few weeks, read it again, leave it a few weeks, read it again, leave it a few weeks, read it again, leave it a few weeks, read it again. thats like watchng elite racing all the season. ground hog day....welcome to it. pl any day.. Can't disagree with that to be fair. Think there could be a lot of ups and downs of teams in every league for next season. Can't see their being 8 EL teams again by the sounds of things. Would be more than happy to stay PL, and hopefully carry on from this season bar the injuries.. Keeping hold of Bates, Garrity and Stead is a must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
