Got to get to the final first and ensure huge crowd for final. See how they do against Sheffield this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted September 19, 2021 Speedway surely needs to look outside of the box with their views of promoting the sport. Cricket just held its T20 finals day....sell out crowd at £89 a ticket for 3 games of cricket...... Speedway left squabbling over who plays who until a few days beforehand, who can race who on what day....... needs some 21st Century promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So £30 for each match and speedway fans complain their sport is over priced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

League winners are champions then do a play off competition separate at the NSS or even at the league winners track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted September 19, 2021 If you did something similar to T20, you'd need a squad system in play. Imagine if you lose a couple of riders but scrape through to the final Then what? Scrounge from the side you just beat in the Semi, it would look even more Mickey Mouse IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,024 Posted September 19, 2021 Doesn't mean anything though. Playoffs are to win the league, you certainly won't get the same crowd level imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both legs will go down to the wire. Compare that to the dross in Poland. I can't wait for next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've changed your tune (panthers were going to romp it) However Panthers are still favourites, having the choice of opponents is still a very useful post advantage.
