Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Dave Goddard says it right. Meeting has turned into a farce. Truly rubbish. Week ref. Poor racing. Utter garbage. Why on earth am I bothering to watch? Habit I guess. But could have wrecked Magics GP chances. Edited June 17, 2021 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why on earth am I bothering to watch? Habit I guess. But could have wrecked Magics GP chances. Gislaved and Vetlanda are two very poor tracks. I think track wise next should be better but Smederna is so much stronger then Piraterna that it probably won't be close score wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think I’ll stick to the Polish and British leagues from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krompa 236 Posted June 17, 2021 This league is unfortunately going from bad to worse. First thing - they are allowed to use RR without any serious reason. Just like that. Click RR, click no RR. Second thing - what happened tonight with wrong helmet colors in heats 1 and 2 and then again in heat 14? Was referee completely blind? Then Dackarna manager nominated riders for heats 13 & 14 incorrectly, of course because stupid bonus points count towards nominations which makes it look even more stupid. Few solutions for the future to make it look more professional and avoid situations like this: 1) full lineups for the night should be announced at least 3 hours before the meeting, with RR explained if used 2) dont count bonus points, nominate final heats using real points scored 3) wrong helmet color - rider excluded, like in other civilized leagues Eleven Sports bought rights for Elitserien 2021 from Cmore but I'am afraid if it continues like this they will not want it again in the future. The same applies to Premier Sports. Enough is enough. What used to be professional league, now is turning to be a big joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted June 17, 2021 You are right Krompa. For all the issues the British leagues have, it is run more professionally than in Sweden, where everything seems too laid back. Sweden has a stronger league than the U.K. but the racing isn’t better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted June 18, 2021 KK actually showed some speed and form last night for a change. Though Miles away from the rider who finished second in the world and his superb charges from back at Poole years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit it seems as if the TV match is staying as Piraterna v Smederna at the new time. both C More Sporten and Eleven Sport Poland come on air at 1750 local for the 1800 start. Just needs Premier Sport to alter their schedule. Edited June 20, 2021 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sportkanalen schedule says Croatia - Scotland at 20.50 CEST tomorrow. Floodlights? No need for floodlights until August.
