Has been some real heavy rain all week and last night so probably not. -
This has been pointed out many times not least of all by Keith hewen even though he was talking about riad racing but the same applies, back in the day Olsen briggs mauger Collins etc they are far superior equipment to the rest of the competitors so they always had an unfair advantage, that is not true today nobody in the field has anything better than anyone else so it’s harder to win a world championship today than it’s ever been even if you think the field itself is weaker

Hope I’m wrong come start time, but the promotion have effed up calling this off - Today

I don’t think that will be the case at all as the play offs have something riding on them, not like the qualifiers that have filled the calendar long after the top four were settled (even if not mathematically). Brady’s most important meeting last season was the GP challenge the day after he scored a maximum and led his beloved Aces to another league title. I think we will see the Brady & Dan we saw last night come the play offs. Our bottom five have rarely set the world on fire this season and we only get around 20 points away and 25 at home. That leave Dan & Brady with potentially 28 points to add. When deciding on the winners it’s just a case of how many points you knock for those two from the potential final score of 48 away and 53 at home.

The GP Series, has been getting worse every year for the last 10 years, it is no longer genuinely competitive. The changes to the series, including copying other scoring systems, copying the idea of Qualifying and Sprint races, and the reformat to have the top 2 straight through to the final & LCQ hasn't added anything. I'd almost go as far to say it's been predictably boring this year. Kurtz getting into the GP's and doing so well has really been the only positive.

From what I'm hearing at the moment, it'll NOT be a one league structure. However it's still only August with another 2 months or so to the AGM, so anything can still change.....!

I’d be surprised to see Belle Vue come out on top this season for the simple reason that their top two riders are fighting for 1st and 3rd in the world championship, whereas the other 3 teams top end have far less to go for , except Fricke for next year’s series. Their minds have got to be on that fact , maybe one less risk taken than usual.

Scorpions are ok keeping 2 or 3 second strings because every team needs them but they currently have a team of second strings and reserves. They need one or preferably two genuine heat leaders a 2 point junior and fill the rest with second strings with hopefully a couple who are likely to increase their average.

I’d take Lambert as a reserve at Berwick.

Yes keep the play offs,The top of the league at the end of the season should be called something like the league winners and the play offs can be called the play off winners or something along those lines. -

Riders won`t stand for only one league. -
Not sure i agree with that. Get more regular fans if weekly home speedway meetings. I remember when Poole were in the Prem and they did one week at home and next week away. Didn't really work, people get out of the habit.
-
Just fed up of being treated like dirt by certain people. And if wasn't for all the volunteers there would be no speedway for them.
-
That's a shame but I'm sure you must have very good reasons for thinking like that and if your not enjoying your role then it's understandable
-
Get a new governing body in and out all the dead wood

Imo 2 home 2 away looks good but clubs won't want it, as most losing money, bar a couple of meetings, so if 2 home 2 away, that's more money lost, if 1 home 1 away means less potential loses, and sponsorship could make up the small difference, sometimes less is more, should be home 1 week away the other week, 2/3 meetings at home a month from may to August
