The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Let's be honest, irrespective of whether it's us (Lakeside) or indeed Swindon that make the final play-off place, either one of us is only going to be in the top 4 to make up the numbers. And with the Aces, Wolves and Pirates all going so well to cause this particularly close three-horse race (in recent memory anyway), it endorses the fact that the play-off system isn't actually necessary, nor required. But as long as Lord Shoutalot and Kelvin 'no question Nige' Tantrum get a few extra nights pay packets, I guess Sky Sports are happy enough. Maybe it appeals to the newer brigade; but as a Hackney fan, I was always bought up to not really give a tuppenny toss who won the league; as long as I saw WEEKLY meetings on a well-prepared track; with teams 'as per programme' and close, fair, exciting races throughout. I'm sure that I am not alone. Those basic, fundamental requirements now seem to have vanished into the ether. The trouble is that Speedway has become so sterile; with incomprehensible rules and dire decision-making re: 'guests', etc. that the powers that be needed to introduce this pathetic system in order to apparently make the sport more exciting. Along with double point tactical rides, they've been clutching at straws for years now to balance things up. Has it worked? Of course it bloody well hasn't. In reality, it's completely unfair; and turns Elite(?) League Speedway into an utter farce. Edited August 22, 2016 by The Voice Of Reason 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted August 22, 2016 Everybody can agree with that but unfortunately us fans are in the hands of the promoters. Jokers, copious amounts of guests, poor track prep leading to cancellations, the play offs, crazy fixture planning, nonsense rules the list goes on of loss making decisions (both in terms of money and crowds) that us poor few have to endure as we cling on to the sport we love. Like you say I'm all about the 60 seconds of adrenalin fuelled action. Block out the rest and it's as good as ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t agree with that, to be honest – I think Swindon are going to give any team they are drawn against a serious issue. I would say this season is the embodiment of why Play Offs should be in place, as I don’t consider myself part of any kind of newer brigade. I don’t think many on this forum will be part of a newer brigade, most will probably have 10 + years of following the sport under their belt (not that time attending really matters).
