A huge crowd in attendance, trouble is skids thats a very insular view we really need to look at the bigger picture,speedways in a sorry state and cant carry on like this.(if i could offer another insular view i would say that many local businesses pubs,hotels,restaurants etc would have benefited from a weekend meeting and they wont now) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Split league into 2 x 4TTs and 1 3TT. Race at each team's home track, 3 winners and best runner up go to final then same again. Used to love the old 4s meetings, great weekend Edinburgh Fri, Berwick sat, Glasgow and Newcastle on the Sunday 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topsoil 2,498 Posted June 20, 2022 Who can afford four to go to matches in four days? How many riders would conveniently pull out of fourth legs if their team is out of the running? Imagine trying to re-arrange a date if there is a rain off 4TT qualifiers are dead in the water Best left in the past and viewed through the usual rose tinted glasses 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinBSN 617 Posted June 21, 2022 Original date: Saturday, clashed with Poland, 4 teams riding in Scotland the night before a 6pm start... New date: Wednesday, school holidays, only Plymouth ride the night before so fairly local. Makes a lot more sense. People complaining it's at Poole, they were the only club willing to take it on! There's no money to be made by the hosting club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
