Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 5, 2021 If Premiership clubs had a free choice of race night how many would vote for continuing on Mons/Thurs? Especially if more teams from the Championship are to be tempted up? Thoughts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted October 5, 2021 Wasn't it orginally supposed to be Mon and Weds, till the promoters were to slow to claim it and then Denmark took Weds!! Only us and Brum ride Weds, if they are having problems they prob don't want to move up. Though KL might vote Weds. But if the protected race nights stays and can only be 2, Ipswich and Peterborough might want to keep Thursdays? Skidder, is this you hinting at Poole would move up if they can have Weds in the Prem??! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 5, 2021 With so much doubling up/down, between PL and CL surely there is very little room for manoeuvre? Although Chris van stratos wants more clubs in the PL ..... they need to think about how they might fit in their few fixtures next season. Far too many call offs due to clashes with football on the telly, clashes with Cardiff SGP, clashes with SON promoters thinking the weather might be dodgy, and next year we have the Commonwealth games in Birmingham. Speedway UK shuts down in the summer ( usually to coincide with kids summer holidays) Every year we end up with the p offs run on bogs of tracks in poor conditions. They either need to run EVERY week during the summer , or reduce the number of official fixtures and fill the rest of the season with challenge meetings. Poole in the PL .
