This can surely be sorted @ this time with the 2 fixture co-ordinators involved. Then with that sorted I wish the 2023 fen tigers good crowds an enjoyable free from injuries season with all home meeting completed with-in 2 hours. If this isn't possible it's time to start looking to build a new (free from bangers) track. Nobody else bothered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris116 756 Posted January 16, 2023 The Stock Car and Banger fixtures have been published so the Speedway should be able to work around them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only to the degree that 2/3 British riders are denied a place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What ones of the 7/8 point average riders are being taken by commonwealth riders? Only reason they’re being used is cause there isn’t enough capable heat leaders about.

I personally think the league looks very competitive frim teams built so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure on averages but when there is riders of this calibre missing out how can the argument of not enough riders of heat leader level be substantiated. I also believe it's a strong competitive league and thoroughly looking forward to it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie4388 679 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I got shot down on a Facebook group when I suggested British Riders such as those mentioned above should be used as number 1s and captain for each team (1 per side) in like a draft system forget about their averages and have a lower points limit to use for the other 6 riders per side.
