When you didn’t understand it your dumbness was confirmed. You have nothing of value to contribute on here imo and for that reason you’re in the box. Bye.

Fromafar 10,333 Posted January 21, 2019 The Premiership is a sad situation surely for the good of the sport in GB it should have been merged into one league,far to much self interest about the Premiership it looks farcical IMO.Best of luck though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is it a 'sad situation'? Poland and Sweden operated 7-team top league without too many issues. The only difference is money . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not entirely certain what your waffling on about, but let’s not turn this into another Poole thread. There is a lot more happening in speedway outside of your Poole box. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can’t compare standard of leagues with Poland or Sweden,that is why it is sad IMO.You are paying good money to watch 2nd rate riders IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes your probably right ,paying too much for speedway in UK giving how the standard of rider in World Terms have dropped,journeyman riders earning a good living from the sport in Uk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its the standard of racing thats important. Having the so-called top riders in Poland and Sweden doesn't guarantee consistently good racing. Yes it may be fast but just as processional - if not more so - as UK racing often is. The standard in the SGBP last year was good and the competition the closest among the 7 teams for several years.

So are you suggesting that crowds are 'dwindling' more at Premiership clubs than in the Championship?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INCOGNITO 357 Posted January 23, 2019 Let's face it with four of the seven making the play offs anyone could be crowned champions but Wolves look solid with a good top four and a good number two in Howarth on a very modest average as is Nick Morris and Jacob Thorssell. Becker at reserve should settle in well and Morris very capable at home. Swindon look decent and should be up there while Poole will ways be in the running and think Nicolai Klindt has become a solid rider and could take over as the number one or challenge Brady Kurtz who is on a modest average. Not too sure on Belle Vue as Bewley back from injury may take time, Bjerre could be a bargain or a disaster and hope Worrall gets back to the form he can be on. Wells is a great signing and Fricke a good number one. JAIMON Lidsey is one to watch and will get some fans around the NSS. Ipswich look ok at home but away should struggle while Peterborough could be the same but see who they get in the space. Kings Lynn shocked me last year and will again if they make the play offs with Lambert running a one man battle. Let's see what movement happens during the season at the Anglian triangle as riders averages go down in some cases and maybe swap places before the play offs ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I've stated on other replies the PLAY OFFS should be scraped, they served a purpose once for sky, but no longer attract the fans or media they once did. Promoters have taken their eye off the main event, fans want weekly speedway, a team they can relate to & be entertained with good close racing. Little or no guest & a fixture list compiled by someone some credibility............PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
