Robbobee 144 Posted October 9, 2017 Well they've just finished bottom. Maybe so but what other line up could they have put then ? Can only go with the team they have got ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted October 9, 2017 Perhaps we should forget the meeting's all together and see what happens at the agm in novemberand see what wonderful ideas they come up with this year ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted October 9, 2017 But the disparity in ability between top and bottom won't make for good racing. And the further dilution in quality will imo drive more fans away 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,164 Posted October 9, 2017 Around 250 senior professional riders currently registered. Around 120 riders have ridden in PL & CL, enough for 17 full teams. And most of them have no interest in riding over here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foamfence 2,917 Posted October 9, 2017 Maybe so but what other line up could they have put then ? Can only go with the team they have got ! They might have gone with different guests, that line-up can do well but they are all a bit patchy, even King this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted October 9, 2017 And most of them have no interest in riding over here No, that's the number of riders registered with the SCB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,079 Posted October 9, 2017 But the disparity in ability between top and bottom won't make for good racing. And the further dilution in quality will imo drive more fans away I think when you look at the line ups tonight it should make for good racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted October 9, 2017 Plenty of time for Pawel to come over to the UK now.... or will Leicester avoid the BSPA fine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,164 Posted October 9, 2017 No, that's the number of riders registered with the SCB. Very possibly but it doesn’t get around the fact that the ones currently riding do both leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Third Man 2,211 Posted October 9, 2017 He is injured and will not be riding today. So Sheffield will be having RR for an injured rider while Leicester run it for a perfectly fit rider who wont come over for meeting, makes sense in Speedway I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted October 9, 2017 But if it’s the same riders in both leagues how can you make it all one big league, where do the extra riders come from? We could always reduce the teams to 6 riders. After all, most of the matches we watch, the Teams only have 6 riders and RR anyway...... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
