screm 8,050 Posted February 12, 2016 Maybe this is something we could see more of, EL clubs racing challenge meeting against PL opposition, certainly looks to be a great way of opening the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 584 Posted February 12, 2016 Very attractive opening fixtures for both monarchs and tiggers. Well done to both promotions. This ^^^. Monarchs v Belle Vue and Glasgow bringing Coventry up for their opener: now THAT's what I all promoting. Put on something way different for the fans and teams they woudn't normally see at PL level, hope it's a bumper night for both clubs. Good stuff.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 534 Posted February 12, 2016 The gap between EL and PL is getting closer and closer. With some vision and cooperation in the near future we could be back to one big league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snapper 189 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) He was immense when he came up with Reading in the mid 2000's at Armadale. Never did Ashfield as far as i can remember. I am sure Zagar did ride at Ashfield once Just checked my files 09/05/04 he rode at No.5 not sure if I can post pics on here so here is a link to a pic of him chasing Shane Parker http://www.ianadam.co.uk/Temp/ Edited February 12, 2016 by snapper 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIRKYLANE 534 Posted February 15, 2016 We'll be having Cookie then I would happily settle for any evening of teams if it meant that we went back to at least 17 teams in the top league with home and away once and all of the teams were on a level playing field.

Endeavour 681 Posted February 15, 2016 We'll be having Cookie then Here here! Watching his performances away from home on Friday makes you realise how much we will miss him this season. Hope he realises all his ambitions. Great guy and a great captain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutz 132 Posted February 19, 2016 Two great openers for both clubs... I've said on a number of occasions that speedway should have an "FA Cup" style tournament throughout the season which involves all the teams from all 3 divisions... If - for example, Stoke were to draw Belle Vue, then the lower division club would automatically race at home... with maybe a proportion of the probable increased gate going to the higher league club to offset the fact of not having a home leg.
