Maybe they realize that the 6pt ruling is both absurd and unfair on loyal British riders... Agree - just disappointing (if not surprising) that it wasnt all in order before team building was officially started for any team let alone completed by some. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, until they announce rules in 2-3 season stints, we will always have this, same old questions every pre-season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 20, 2017 If they change the rules the panthers could end up with a good team by default.. The only problem with changing the rules now is maybe a few of the teams that have now been put together will be weaker possibly by default. What I really want to know though..is why are the rules in speedway so crazy every year....its about time they got shot of the current rule makers and the last lot of rule makers...and give the job so someone or some people that may actually be able to do the job.

Flappy 1,605 Posted December 20, 2017 Panthers haven't got the bottle to change the team to a good one even if the rules change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 20, 2017 Do you not think so flappy?? other teams may offer a better deal anyway...but I'm guessing the panthers would have a better advantage getting a couple of good riders due to your location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see it being a record breaking season ticket sales what ever spin they put on it . Just wish management would not just listen to fans but take notice as well. Every year we seem to build from the bottom and every year we have to make changes because they keep getting it wrong. In future why don't we try building from the top first .I just can't get any enthusiasm about the riders signed so far and I don't think I am alone , very disappointed in the lack of imagination shown by management. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the answer is to have rules and them stick to them for several years. Constant tinkering and change has cock up and self interest written all over it. Same old crap about a positive meeting to take speedway forward before the realisation of the detail sinks in and the arguments start for the next few months. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said it before...rules should have a minimum of say a 5 season cycle....that way everyone knows where they stand....clubs, riders., fans. A ten year cycle would be even better...clubs may then invest in young riders more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 20, 2017 It shouldn’t even happen that often, once every 3 years, have a business plan almost and work to that. Instead of just confusing the hell out of everyone every year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the answer is to not let make the rules at all, they just are not trustworthy and competent to do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
