mickthemuppet 976 Posted May 16, 2018 How much longer will the fixed night farce go on. It was originally to get GP riders back so that was a complete failure. How many teams are happy racing on a Monday and a Wednesday. End the fixed night's now or you could find out there wont be any teams left. Much better to let the clubs have their own choice of nights Monday is the worst night possible all through the history of Speedway so why revert to it now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big problem either way but I can't see any changes happening until the season is over. Personally I would prefer one big league and any riders missing for continental league engagements only being replaceable by a NL rider, that way promoters might be a bit more careful about who they sign. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted May 16, 2018 Only way GB can walk out from the ISL deal is to have enough British riders to fill the teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 16, 2018 Seems to be working just fine. Hardly any guests because of no fixture clashes. Never was designed to bring back GP riders. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly that, it was designed to prevent the doubling up clashes left right and centre, and to that end it is working 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That NL rider should come in at reserve and the other rider's move up a position. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps its about time the nails stopped being added and the sport as we know it has a proper burial Could then have a chance for resurrection Whilst the coffin continues to be paraded in a never ending procession whilst everyone wails in limbo that resurrection cant/wont happen 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,821 Posted May 16, 2018 Hopefully the fixed nights are here to stay. Much better with fewer riders having to be in one league or the other. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belle Vue have a had a bad start after moving but who else have these fixed race nights effected so badly ? plus we are only a few season into the season ..so to early to judge anyhow . The bottom line fans were moaning about riders missing etc so they done something about it . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
