poolebolton 464 Posted November 19, 2017 Poole have used Thursday as its reserve night for the last couple of years so not a big deal changing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted November 19, 2017 Home and away twice with the KO Cup, racing once will not be enough pay days for the riders Should have been 10-12 teams in the top flight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted November 19, 2017 Home and away twice with the KO Cup, racing once will not be enough pay days for the riders Should have been 10-12 teams in the top flight Must be because some championship teams dont feel like they have the ability to get certain riders.

stevebrum 6,821 Posted November 19, 2017 But were talking about next season. DUH And we're discussing clashes with the Danish league which is on a Wednesday, like this year. DUH. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted November 20, 2017 Find out for sure later today but Mon / Thurs seems more sensible. If UK races on Wednesday it rules out the Danes as there league is on that night. Why make riders make a choice, lets race when no one else does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted November 20, 2017 If Ipswich have stayed in the championship, with their insistence to retain their Thursday race night . My guess then, assumes the two fixed race nights will be Mondays and Wednesdays..... It seems again, we have all the promoters, from both divisions working together to put the sport first.......... Yeah right... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theboss 727 Posted November 20, 2017 Must be because some championship teams dont feel like they have the ability to get certain riders. Clubs must stay within there means. I will reserve final judgement until press release but if this is the case then the 8 existing teams did not do enough to encourage them up, for example lowering the points limit so they could get a competitive team or bringing in a pay cap so they were not taking such a big financial risk . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted November 20, 2017 I will reserve final judgement until press release but if this is the case then the 8 existing teams did not do enough to encourage them up, for example lowering the points limit so they could get a competitive team or bringing in a pay cap so they were not taking such a big financial risk . Agree we need to see full content of AGM but the initial release doesn't initially inspire. If it is 8 & 11, initial thoughts are as it is for Prem and maybe Lakeside topping up existing Champ. So all the gossip re 1/2 coming up has not come to pass it seems. Interesting to see why they decided not to and maybe explains the slow progress of the meeting and lack of any positive updates. I followed your various posts re changing things for the better of UK Speedway but in all honesty I could never see the main teams in the Prem such as Poole/BV/Wolves etc agreeing to lower both the standard and implement things like a pay cap. I for one want to see both top riders and good racing. Taking the sport back to near enough basic level with little to no overseas stars is not for me the way forward. Anyway let's see the full announcement but looks like it may be more of the same and if points dropped to say 41 then chances are lower level again. Hopefully at least some fixed nights will bring some of the stars most of us want to see over. Those that choose to sign them, it is their choice and if my club can afford that luxury then fine by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
