Normski 1,316 Posted February 16, 2017 really enjoyed last year's weekend but losing 3 teams from the league hasn't helped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catch Me If You Can 260 Posted February 16, 2017 It was awesome last year , bit of an anti-climax going back to a one day event Looks like they had no choice with 10 teams. Imagine it will go back to old formula, 2 x 8 heat semis and 12 heat final with 8 clubs only. Bottom two on combined averages drop out before hand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,437 Posted February 16, 2017 thought I read somewhere all clubs would be involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted February 16, 2017 Cant they do two groups of 5 and have 5 riders per heat 5-3-2-1-0 scoring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,484 Posted February 16, 2017 Would be carnage coming out of turn 2 lap 1 with 5 riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted February 17, 2017 Would be carnage coming out of turn 2 lap 1 with 5 riders. Showground did it in the world cup a few years ago and I certainly wouldn't want to see it again , I like to see riders being able to race and not being impeded by other riders intentional or unintentional. Maybe ok on grasstrack but not in speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted February 17, 2017 Ok 3 groups of 4 inviting the top two national league sides, might be cannon fodder but will give them great experience 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New era Panthers 2,055 Posted February 17, 2017 Ok 3 groups of 4 inviting the top two national league sides, might be cannon fodder but will give them great experience How about 2groups of 5 over 10 heats each team to miss out on 2 races with 4 riders in each race for semi finals and then a 16 heat final between winners and runners up from semi finals.

CookieIpswich 249 Posted February 17, 2017 Sounds like a plan but I think these meetings should be scrapped in british speedway anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
