If all 6 said they were going to gp practice, the extraleague would be forced to cancel the league meetings to another date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is when they had the chance all 15 bottled it and wouldn`t stand as one- so no way will 6 do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One gets sacked all strike. As i posted the other day , the new TV contract is for mega money and with all 4 matches each round shown live they couldn`t all be on Sunday without a clash between the 2 broadcasters, so Friday was chosen. Some posters who supported the Extraleague decision pointed out that is only 2 GP`s- however that could rise to 8 with re-arranged matches because of rain-offs(last Friday was one of those) so we are up to 3 and counting. i also said that i believe the FIM did not want to wage war with the Extraleague for fear of the riders pulling out of the GP en mass !!

The Polish clubs pay so big money- i believe it would certainly have. The Extraleague believe that they can do almost anything they want to- they even fell out with the Polish federation(PZM) over fixture scheduling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
