Blackadder 280 Posted November 16, 2017 If Mondays and Thursdays were to be the chosen race nights for the PL, Sheffield, Ipswich and Redcar would suffer if they stayed in the CL. If the PL chose Mondays and Wednesdays, only Swindon and those riding in Denmark would suffer. It seems to me that the second option would suit more British supporters than the first one. Sheffield seem to want to stay in the CL, unless a big sponsor comes forward, but if Thursdays were to be a PL race night, Sheffield would try to go for Wednesdays, with Sundays as the alternative. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why will Redcar suffer? A big portion of Redcar fans are new and they dont realise the history behind and we have a lot of families, me included and Friday's or Saturday's will be much better to take my kids. Complete fallacy to suggest every side will suffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted November 17, 2017 Forcing Championship clubs to change race night is a poor solution to the problems in the sport IMO. Why? In 2017 20% of riders who rode in Premiership or Championship meetings were guests. I don't know the reasons but it's probably fair to say an equal number in both leagues were due to doubling up clashes. If we're going to have doubling up then we need fixed race nights and the situation has got out of hand now. And riders double up as much in the Championship as the Premiership, so why should only the Premiership make changes to fix this situation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted November 17, 2017 Surely, if the Redcar promotion preferred Fridays or Saturdays to Thursdays, they would have changed before now. Because historically Thursday is the Redcar(Middlesbrough) race night. Point is new speedway fans might prefer either the alternative Friday or Saturday.

The Third Man 2,217 Posted November 18, 2017 Would prefer to stay on Thursday and I cant understand why three championship clubs will have to change race nights as opposed to on PL club. Sundays would be the only viable opportunity for me but it would need to be evening not in the afternoon to ruin the whole of Sunday there would also be clashes in the early and late season with football potentially being on a Sunday as well So if we swap to Wednesday I will only be going to the odd match and to rearranged matches that are on a alternative race night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king junior 394 Posted November 20, 2017 So we've got a 42.5 limit. Wouldn't mind something along the lines of 1. Howarth 2. Campton/M Riss/kurtz 3. Bjerre 4. Bates 5. Garrity 6. Sarjeant 7. Wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 20, 2017 1. Howarth - Yes 2. Campton/M Riss/kurtz - Ideally M Riss 3. Bjerre - Yes 4. Bates - yes 5. Garrity - No thank you not in a million years. 6. Sarjeant - nope 7. Wood - Yes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted November 20, 2017 Definitely not Garrity or Sarjeant. Would like to see Cameron Heeps in the team, as I feel that he will have a good season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would this fit the 42.5 limit ? Any info much appreciated. Grajzconek Heeps Bjerre Bates Howarth Graversen/ Jenkins Wood ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand not having Garrity, he is a risk, but I honestly think Sarj on a 3.20 average is absolutely worth it. Obviously had a terrible season, but I think he'll absolutely bounce back this season coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
