Is It Finally Time For One League?
Diamonds85 replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I'd be all for a RS system in both leagues. With Jake Mulford, Jason Edwards and Leon Flint being the standard for the Premiership and Ace Pijper, Max Perry and William Cairns being rhe standard for the Championship. It creates a clear next step on the ladder so to speak for riders progressing up the leagues. And the slightly stronger RS at 6 and slightly weaker RS rule being implemented in both leagues tbh. Prem example - 6. Connor Mountain 7. Joe Thompson Champ example - 6. Luke Killeen 7. Jody Scott If someone like Tate Zischke wants to ride in the Premiership or Jacob Hook in the championship they should be at number 2 or 4. Reserves should be protected for young(ish) British riders who can develop. Maybe it could be extended out to Aussies for the likes of Fraser Bowes and Jordy Loftus but that's another topic. -

Getting big names in isn't always going to improve the sport... the aim is to improve the quality of racing and that's only ever going to happen if all the riders are at a similar standard. Some of the best races I've ever watched were at amateur level 😄 may have been slower but all 4 riders were all over eachother. - Today

Birmingham v Oxford - 21st July
szkocjasid replied to The H Man's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If Birmingham had any tactical nous, they only should have made the swap on the agreement that Edwards would regain his place when fit. Just be honest with Hagon from the start "you have a temporary team spot". I'm sure Hagon wouldn't have turned that down - he had no other Premiership options. Can't believe how inept the team planning has been! -

Ipswich vs Birmingham 24th July
szkocjasid replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
But Birmingham look weaker than they did earlier in the season, so Ipswich shouldn't have to be as good to score 60? Brummies won't have a reserve like Lynn did to cause trouble. -
Another way to look at it, Starke beat Harrison, which Cairns couldn't do in heat 2. Starke then had a second place behind Steve Worrall. Starke then had the struggling Declan Kennedy taken out of a heat & lost to Zaine & Mountain. Starke then faced Mountain & tac sub Worrall! Who should Starke have beaten that he didn't? Worrall or Mountain (who Cairns didn't meet)? You wouldn't expect a 4 point away reserve to beat a 5 point home reserve (Zaine)! Now Cairns obviously came on string as the match went on, beating Zaine twice, which is brilliant for a 2 pointer, I take nothing away from him. But you can't deny Starke had harder rides & scored the same. That's not saying Cairns should have done better, just that Starke is being harshly judged imo.

It’s somewhere between 2 & 4 quid some not massive. The problem is that any big league would be weaker than the championship because of the current doubling up. -
We have notoriously been one of the lowest payers though,albeit riders would get paid all the time and on time.
