Big decisions in November.

[hyabb17 1,077]

I would like the following: - 

- An 11/12 team premiership, 1 home & 1 away fixture. Fed up of seeing the same team twice in a season. Doesn't happen in any other league.

- 1 Brit U21 rider at reserve. Bring these boys on, we have some very talented youngsters coming through. Give them a platform to preform on.

- 42.5 team limit, don't reduce this down & we should be looking to encourage riders back, not restrict this. JD said in the Swindon programme last Thursday that Sweden is on the decline & it's time for the Uk to take advantage.

- Limit the number of team changes per season/or changes can only be made because of injury. Too many sides made changes for the sake of it.

- Do away with the TV deal & perhaps follow what the football league does with ifollow. Stream meetings at a cost on the clubs website.  £10-£15 per meeting. I think most would pay £10 to watch their team away from home. Could you geo block it so that you can only watch away meeting's & therefore still keep the crowds coming through the turnstiles for home meetings.

Definitely more teams, 16 if possible, knock-out cup, regular fixtures on regular nights.

I think the ‘new’ scoring system is one of the best (only good?) ideas that the authorities have come up with, works really well for me but they need to go back to making home teams win by seven to get their three points. 

If we are going to have a top division again it needs two or three additions, seven clubs just doesn’t work.

Liked the idea of home win more than 6  3 points

home win by 1-6 home team 2 points away team 1 point

 or bring back the bonus point for aggregate score.

lets be honest the drawing system for a draw is a farce the home team drew the meeting and then lost the meeting on points ugh

The scoring system in British Speedway is the best thing the BSPA have ever come up with. The system keeps meetings alive far longer than the standard system

Effectively both teams get a point for the draw. It's just the away side get another for having not lost  by more than 6

Because it was a flawed system and replaced by one that WAS much better.

However, they ruined that when they took away only getting 2pts for winning by 6 or less at home.

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed with the bonus point... I just can't get my head around the current league point scoring system, never have been able to. Can never remember whether it's 6 or more than 6 to get or lose the extra point and an away draw getting more than a home draw is just ridiculous

The only ridiculous thing is someone 'not being able to get their head around' something that simple.

Is there any other sport that awards the loser points?  It's to keep the meeting alive people say, are there any other sports that do something to keep the match/game/meeting/race alive? 

Certain things about speedway completely suck in my opinion, and the scoring is one of them things.

Thanks for your feedback... so you think that an away team getting more points than a home team for a team is not ridiculous?

Yes there are other sports where the 'loser' gets pts.
