I think you should change the title of the thread to Ipswich v Workington :neutral:

Just a little lighted hearted compliment. You should make the most of it!

We could possibly be champions if we manage to race our remaining home meetingsB)

Workington over the past few years have always had riders prepared to attack the Foxhall track and give the home team a good match. :t:

Speedway on a Thursday at Foxhall... ssshhh it's best kept secret ;)

At the AGM it was said that Workington could not race on a Friday as 3 teams have chosen that day. They have now ridden 75% of matches on a Friday, Peterborough have sneaked in a few so now the use of guests for injured riders becomes an issue. The BSPA ask them to change a few meetings & all hell breaks loose.

Re phrase please ......

They were TOLD they cannot ride Fridays, along with Peterborough and Lakeside. Purely so that members of the BSPA, who's teams ride on Fridays would not miss out on getting a rider in for their injured/unavailable riders.

But they've done nowt to make sure the three above teams can complete their fixtures on time and perhaps stop them winning the league.

P*ss poor effort from our so called leaders. Shame on them!!

Doesn't your team also need guests for injured riders? The whole thing stinks really, just par for the corse of speedway

Totally agree.

Surely though it is not beyond the wit of the fixture compiler(s) to ensure that every team in the league has a minimum of one home fixture every two weeks between April and September if they all race on any day between Thursday to Sunday to at least ensure some momentum and fans know that at least every two weeks (barring rain offs etc.) The farce is that they cannot even do that and you go three or four weeks with nothing. If teams are able to race more frequently then so be it. One league meeting home and away and the KO competition is simply not enough to sustain interest.

To reduce costs but maintain regional interest either have a competition with the top two from the North versus the top two from the South home and away. Also have a British Championship where every rider gets a chance to compete and each track holds at least two meetings. As it stands the sport has nothing new to offer except a policy of ‘less is best’ which clearly from a fans perspective it is not.

Yeah, we needed two on Sunday v Newcastle. What did we get 1 young N L rider, bless him rode his heart out, plus R/R.

We still managed to beat them with a 5 man team.

:rolleyes: hilarious post !! All Friday meetings agreed by the BSPA at beginning of the season , suddenly the wheels fall off for the big guns whose managers are on the board , low and behold , they can’t get guests so let’s stop teams from progressing and remove the fixtures , get your Scorpions goggles off  :icon_smile_clown: . Hey Karma’s a bitch though , did you see our 3 wins over the weekend , and one with 4 boys and young Kyle :approve:
