    But we don’t want that for the following year - as we would then have 4 riders with an 8+ average!  

    Well the riders and management need to ease off once a score of 45 is reached in each meeting,  how many times have we had to get rid of a good rider to fit in with the daft team limits the following season.

    Anders definitely isn’t ready and he hasn’t achieved the necessary 3 point PL equivalent average.

     

     

    He only needs to up his CL average a small amount to get to the 3 point PL level.  The way he has continually improved I can see that average being achieved a few months into next year with Somerset, so could be a good reserve guest if needed.

    Yeah the Supporters Cup with fans nominating the later heats really worked well this season. 'Let's all vote for the oppositions weakest riders'!!? Brought hundreds of extra fans in that did- Not!!

    I've said before why keep promoting speedway as a 'family sport' ? We've been doing that for years and nothing positive has happened anywhere consistently. Let's promote the danger excitement feuds handbags - a bit of 'Boyce v Gollob' at Hackney. The tv audiences will.lap it up.

    That was down to who thought it up and hopefully they do not let them come up with any more ideas, but part of the blame is the bspa for accepting it.

    How many other clubs have the facility   or  the money to reshape their track ? probably none.  

    Maybe they should spend some of the tv money, as they did not in the past, on the track rather than waste it.   I appreciate there may be the odd track that cannot be changed but many could.

    I personally know 2 or 3 trackmen who put everything into doing the track and it shows because the racing is good week in and out. So it shows put the effort in you will get results and I do believe that's what fans want???

    The reshaping and track effort put in at Swindon confirms this, the racing is better and the crowds up

    No, eight is right for the PL, but only if it is significantly better than the CL. Eight teams of superior strength with eight GP riders would be good.

    Hasn’t the Extraliga in Poland got only seven teams now?

     

    But that would only happen if the team limit was raised rather than using 42.5 or reducing it.
