Absolute crackers that they hold back the sports growth by preventing teams from riding on nights they want to because it means not enough guests will be available.... A ruling that destroys all the sport's credibility, and therefore reduces crowds significantly, and keeps major sponsors and mainstream media away, prevents tracks from riding on nights that they feel would increase the crowds that follow the sport.. An amazing plan... I have just checked the official Speedway GB site. There were 26 Friday nights (between 7/5/21 and 29/10/21) There were championship meetings at the 4 Friday tracks on FIVE occasions (so 5 times in 26 the 4 Friday tracks raced a home championship meeting). Discounting October that will be 5 out of 21 times. 4th June there was 2 league and 2 cup matches. 9th July - 4 league meetings. 30th July - 2 cup matches with 2 meetings postponed. 20th Aug - 4 league meetings. 3rd Sept - 3 teams at home with Poole also. 10th Sept - 4 league meetings with 1 postponed. There were 7 weeks when there was 3 championship meetings at the above venues. There were 11 postponements through the season on these Friday nights. There was one week when there was no meetings. I would have thought a compromise could have been reached where Oxford can race on a Friday night but cannot race a Championship home meeting if the other 4 teams are racing at home (could race their junior team on these nights).

An amazing plan... I totally agree, not allowing another Friday track due to a possible lack of guests is rediculous! Imagine saying to a club "you can't ride on Fridays because I may need to use your riders for my team" Edited November 18, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
