GS550 449 Posted November 2, 2017 I'm sure there used to be a rule that you had to have 3 programmed rides. So many things I would change..but one of the first would be the double points tactical. Maybe the most stupid rule in any type of sport that I've seen. Jeux Sans Frontières? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is what is a joker , ok with ("Eddie Waring on it's a knock out ) but that's as far as it goes much prefer the old tactical substitute where any rider could take one extra ride if your side was six or more points in arrears after 4races Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And was it two tacky sub rides allowed (while still so many points behind) each by different riders so potentially the top two could have an extra ride? The memory is getting foggy though.

Doesnt number 6 and numbers 12,13 contradict each other, surely if we have parades and lap of honours after every heat that will drag on a meeting more, number 15 is definitely the one needed the most though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moranboys 411 Posted November 2, 2017 Moranboys - for No1 do you want more or less? obviously less.just be nice for you to settle your differences.after all we should be just one happy speedway family Doesnt number 6 and numbers 12,13 contradict each other, surely if we have parades and lap of honours after every heat that will drag on a meeting more, number 15 is definitely the one needed the most though not really.it doesn't take long just for a rider to show his appreciation,and the supporters would feel more involved.o.k maybe not have a parade but if all the messing e.g gardening at the start was cut out then there would be time for the parade.just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you mean none of or fewer to numbers 2, 3 and 4 then thumbs up. Could do with less of numbers 5 and 6 too. Definitely yes to numbers 10 and 11. And it wouldn't be so bad if they actually stuck to and followed number 15. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted November 3, 2017 A parade is ok if it starts 10minutes before the programmed start time.Ipswich have always had 7.30 parade with first race 7.45 Heat winners invariably have a lap of honour and interaction with the fans has increased greatly over the last couple of seasons Meetings are often done by 9.15 and rarely go beyond 9.30 unless there is an understandable issue There is a lot done right at Foxhall and every effort appears to be in mind to improve any areas not currently seen as top notch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
