Fixed night farce-how much longer

Recommended Posts

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

So we revert to the problems of doubling-up clashes? 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.

Only way GB can walk out from the ISL deal is to have enough British riders to fill the teams.

Seems to be working just fine. Hardly any guests because of no fixture clashes. Never was designed to bring back GP riders.

Exactly that, it was designed to prevent the doubling up clashes left right and centre, and to that end it is working

That NL rider should come in at reserve and the other rider's move up a position.

It's working so well that the spectators will not go on those nights

And would be the final nail in the coffin of British speedway.

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

Hopefully the fixed nights are here to stay.  Much better with fewer riders having to be in one league or the other.

Who's crowds ? 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 .
