ShyTalk 22 Posted March 25, 2020 Been trying to think of a few ideas which could help British Speedway, in view of problems it had before and after the current Corona situation. Here is what I thought of. Getting to matches. Not all fans have access to vehicles. How about a new section in the forum, of lifts to matches. A new topic could be started about any match, and a poster could request,or offer, a lift from "area where they live" to relevant track. Poster to be PM by any interested party. Rider sponsors. To assist riders getting sponsors, or persuading them to part with a few extra £££'s, start the pre match presentation a few minutes earlier, and announce each rider's main sponsor and their business. Next season. If the two top leagues merge, how about a series, of say 5 matches, between, Team GB North, and Team GB South. All British riders, contracted to the teams, which are in the Northern half of the League being eligible, for selection for Team GB North, same for South. Decent standard of match, and appeal to the North, South rivalry. If merger does not happen, how about the cup competition, being open, between the two leagues, with the lower league team, being allowed, say, 5 tactical rides (each leg), any rider, any race. Play Offs. Unpopular, with some, who feel top of league are champions, popular with those, who like end of season drama. As a way of rewarding the higher placed team, why not add the amount of league points, the higher team scored, over and and above their opponents, to their aggregate score.Would make it harder for team to be champions, by peaking at right time. Meet and Greet. Offer, this sort of experience for those interested, and prepared to pay a little extra for it. Alternatively, offer chance to watch a few races from centre green, for a small charge. Like to hear other opinions on this, or any other ideas out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
