Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 29, 2021 Both teams tonight are not as strong as the Poole team, in a lower league. This winter will surely se an amalgamation of both leagues. There’s nothing premier about the premier league bar it’s name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With almost every rider in the top league doubling-down at the moment how would you make it work without dramatically watering down the product? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King and Schlein ride for both and Cook is better than Steve Worrall… Rowe and Allen are better than Kemp and Nielsen Kemp and Starke are miles better than Wright and Hume We get the leagues are closer …. But please if you think the Poole side that beat Leicester last night is better than the Ipswich side tonight then you are clearly deluded… oh hang on sorry yes you are trolling ….

It is already doing a good job of watering down so not really an issue. You cannot seriously believe that what makes up the top tier is premier, first class or any other descriptive term you may wish to apply to the top tier of the sport in the U.K. It is a make do season from a racing perspective but going forward it needs to reinvent itself and offer entertainment. Perhaps the IOW could provide some ideas. The current format of 15 heats is old hat, dead in the water and boring. Do promoters have any idea on what constitutes entertainment or better still listen to the punters to see what they would like to watch on a weekly basis throughout the summer. Long gone are the days of a weekly fix so adapt and come up with something new. Perhaps that is beyond the current crop of club owners but changes are need to widen the appeal to new riders and new fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the issue which would need serious consideration. Perhaps weakening down at reserve by using NL riders. There are riders out there from the continent and Australia who have ridden here that could come back. Ellis Perks, Josh Gracjzonek etc. It could be done. A north south league with north riding against each other twice and the south once. Playoffs top 4 from each section leading to semis and final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahahahahahhahahaahaha So you think Worrall is better than Cook You think Nielsen and Kemp at 2 and 4 are better than Rowe and Allen You think James Wright is better than Paul Starke You think Hume is better than Kemp You either know eff all about the sport or you are trolling for response Why don’t you take your trolling crap back to your own section You are tiresome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 29, 2021 Kemp and Wright do not ride for Poole. They were guests last night. You need to learn who rides for Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t have a number two you sacked him , therefore our reserve rode as a second string for you …. That tells you something And yes Ben Cook is a good rider …. But not as good as Paul Starke though yes he may end up better in time Your argument is flawed The Poole 1-7 would not beat the Ipswich 1-7…. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
