uk_martin 1,606 Posted March 11, 2017 Poland take on a "Rest of the World" team in a couple of weeks time. Is there a fixture list of Test Matches that Team GB will be riding in this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) What promotion is gonna risk a financial loss of a Test match? However much the fans "say" they would support one? Edited March 11, 2017 by Trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,788 Posted March 11, 2017 I think test matches would prove popular if scheduled correctly. Trouble is there is no appetite for it amongst the BSPA / Team GB set up. Gatherings like this week are a good thing but it needs to be more regular and we need to be racing test matches on unfamiliar tracks as well as over here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted March 11, 2017 Poland take on a "Rest of the World" team in a couple of weeks time. Is there a fixture list of Test Matches that Team GB will be riding in this year? 6 man teams as noted. I wonder how that will work in a race format? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted March 11, 2017 Trouble is there is no appetite for it amongst the BSPA / Team GB set up. So why have a squad and have training sessions if it isn't going to be put to any use? As you say though this is the BSPA at the centre of this so logic and sense don't come into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,652 Posted March 12, 2017 6 man teams as noted. I wonder how that will work in a race format? I think this is the third season of these matches. For an example of the format see here: http://www.speedway.hg.pl/torunianie_w_turniejach_krajowych/turnieje_towarzyskie_krajowe/2010/2016_05_15_TT_PL_RS_Wawa.htm I think the last three races are nominated.
