I think this is a racist Post. 🤬

Tai has retired now so we should be OK. 😉

Overall but he has been a bit up and down in both leagues.

I do agree with you as it annoys me that my team Oxford have rarely ran the original 1 to 7 that was announced for the last 2 seasons. My interest as definitely waned due to knowing we are not going to be competitive. Maybe the championship needs a rule that a team can only have one rider riding in Polands top flight that is at an under 21. Then work the fixtures so these riders can turn up on a Friday at the away tracks. It’s been ridiculous how many away meetings Mitch has missed but a lot of that is down to poor fixture planning. It would be a major shame if British youngsters like Cairns,Rushen wouldn’t be riding in the Championship because they wouldn’t be able to make every meeting because they are progressing internationally in our sport.

I've given up, posted not long ago about how I haven't attended any meetings this year. Shame and sad. Reason one is money, I'm saving and losing speedway hasn't bothered me too much in the slightest, I only miss the chit chat. Speedway is now expensive to attend. Reason two is the lack of importance, Its sad that I don't care if my team wins the cup this year. I honestly couldn't give a monkeys about it. I could probably put another dozen reasons why I've given up but all of it has been mentioned previously. Until they implement real change I'm not going back. What does the change look like? I'm not sure but I want them to TRY something new at least. Its still the same boring usual suspects in the play offs with the same teams on crap tracks followed by tractor racing. God I could rant on but you don't need to read it. Oh and for those supporters still claiming the premiership is necessary, just look at your attendances, how many clubs are closing or losing money and if the sport is better off with it. I personally have completely given up with it. The premiership DOESNT WORK.

Would be annoying if they went to a rave instead of speedway.😀

I don't think R/R weakens Leicester at home, as the reserves have been going really well there... I think the Lions should have enough to get the win by 8-10 points

I personally don't think that any rider who is going to be absent for a certain percentage of meetings in a season should be permitted to ride in a league whoever they are. Injury can't be helped but one of the things which gets up people's noses more than anything IMO is facilities for riders who are raving elsewhere and not for the team they signed for.

i just remembered a few years ago Kings Lynn were advertising this role - https://www.kingslynn-speedway.com/news.php?extend.30563 in the end i believe Chapmans daughter was the one they selected. 😁

Yes

Not in the Champ perhaps but he's been at the level you'd expect in the Prem.

That would be a vast improvement. Likely with the havvy connection.

Problem with McDairmid he is riding in the top flight in Poland and is also in the SGP2 meetings so means he will miss loads of Friday’s. With so many championship teams running on a Friday a rider like that is unfortunate going to miss lots of meetings. Next year, Cairns and Rushen will probably have the same issue so would you also not sign them?

good idea, lets try one league with a more varied fixture list 😀

Can we shut this thread.

"New signing Edward Kennett – a 28-day replacement for Erik Riss – makes his debut for Cheetahs. Kennett brings a wealth of experience to Cheetahs – the 39-year-old twice finished second in the British Final, while he was British Under-21 Champion in both 2005 and 2007." This was from the 2nd of June so 28 days would have been the last day of June. I'm honestly not sure whether he has signed another 28-day replacement contract (which would expire on the 28th of July) or whether he is just guesting now for Oxford until the situation with Riss becomes fully known.

It simply doesn't matter what they come up with if hardly anyone from the 80 million in the UK people know that you exist... What does a Premiership team cost? £350k a year maybe??. Shave off £50k and pay someone that money to work full time to run your marketing and commercial operations, plus running the "fan experience" on the night itself... With their remit to bring in a tangible extra £100k a season in sponsorship, and attendance increases... Give them full remit to do "whatever they need to", to get, at least, 2500 in the stadium... Free tickets, reduced tickets, database collation, even direct cold call marketing, their role will be to get the team noticed and get "new" money into the club... The more who attend, the better the atmosphere as we know, currently any "newbie" attending would have been in louder, more atmospheric libraries.. You can pay out six figures for a top two world class riders who, due to their small public profiles, will bring in hardly anyone extra to watch, or pay someone a decent figure, (with performance bonus), to get them noticed , and then bring people in to watch them.... I visited a pub on Monday to meet up with an old workmate, a pub I had never used before... I signed up to use their WIFI... Within 24 hours I had a 15% off voucher emailed to me for this Sunday in their restaurant, and thanking me for my custom... The circa 3000 or so who still follow most Premiership teams, should all be known to "someone" at the club,(via the clubs database), and that "someone" then keeps constantly communicating and doing anything, and everything, they can to encourage repeat visits... 500 empty seats just get colour faded in the sunshine... 500 full ones, even at a tenner each, will bring in £50k over a season, and create far more of an "event feel" and atmosphere, plus increase bar, food and merchandise takings... UK Speedway brings in big money in relation to its size, and pays out even more!! It needs to redistribute the money going out to people who could help bring more people in.. And currently, that isn't the riders..

Harris would be a concern as it seems he is not at his best currently, I seem to recall he has had some good scores there and Fricke is pretty much unbeatable there.

look how its turned out lowering the points limit year on year, massive gaps in team qualities, so why not try something different

there will never be one league, quicker we forget this idea the better for peoples mental health

Kolodinskis is the Wildcard 17 is Mihailovs 18 is Kostigovs

Line-ups Czestochowa 1 Ludwiczak 2 Halkiewicz 15 Wroclaw 3 Kowolik 4 Mikolajczyk 16 Bydgoszcz 5 Przyjemski 6 Pawelczak 17 Lublin 7 Jaworski 8 Szymd 18 Torun 9 Kawczynski 10 Duchinski 19 Krosno 11 Kreglicki 12 Wieszczak 20 Gorzow 13 Paluch 14 Sobkowiak 21

Wasn't it 45 but that also included bonus points??

if there was one league it automatically makes it a top league. Its the only way to go if you ask me, 45 points limit for 7 riders is absolute insanity and will see even more of a gap than there already is.
