Due to the way the leagues are contrived, they have rendered them pretty worthless.. Yet should some Div 2 team not be able to run with Div 1 HL"s there will be fans complaining that they may miss out on the play offs because of it.. There is a reason Poland dont use guests or doubling up, (DU Covid excepted), and that is they know they will destroy what they have if they do.. They also know that they need a constant stream of riders to keep Poland at the top which keeps the media interested, so have Polish "juniors" at six and seven of every team. And also now run an international U24 league to hopefully bring through and develop Brits, Danes, Swedes, Aussies etc so they can fill the overseas riders slots inevitably vacated by the current incumbents as they get older.. Light years in front, however the UK could do a smaller similar operating model but choose not to.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted June 20, 2022 1 hour ago, mikebv said: We used to run seven days a week due to the amount of teams running, and there was hardly any clashes with foreign leagues given so few riders rode in them.. German Longtrack and the many thousands that the top riders could earn for an afternoon at one of their massive meetings was more of a threat than any other domestic league.. Now we run seven days to ensure that the riders can earn as much as is possible, either through their teams fixture list, or guesting.... And it also allows promoters to use riders from a higher level to bolster their offer to their punters... All it does though is create more headaches trying to fit in meetings around FIM meetings, meaning more guests, or trying to run meetings with riders missing due to injuries because they have had no time to have them heal, meaning more guests in both leagues for the same missing rider.. One injury can mean four or five meetings become a "Guestfest" due to having so many double up.. Anyhow, it wont change, because if it could, it surely would already have done so, given the negative impact it has on the sport.. Is there a club that races on Tuesdays these days?

ohdannyboy 7 Posted June 20, 2022 Jason Edwards was always going to be the best option, unfortunately from what I’ve seen from Mulford he’s miles off the pace, and for once it’s nice to see Lynn be abit ruthless, although anyone heard of any whispers on Neil’s replacement, r/r will quite frankly not work, so can’t rely on that week in week out, maybe nothing but did anyone see Rooboy’s twitter photo? Putting his bikes back together… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know other Premiership teams have NDL riders signed as no8's as well as riding in the CL but rarely ride. Should mean Edwards having to give up his NL spot with Mildenhall. That's what happened to Leon Flint last year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted June 22, 2022 A chance Iversen may quit Poland for Britain imo. Lodz owner refusing to pay his riders for losing meetings now. The club froze the salaries of players.
