As mentioned, the top league already use Thursdays for rearranged meetings if needed.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,027 Posted March 7 Don't forget most Premiership clubs race on Thursdays now, only Belle Vue & Birmingham on Mondays I believe? So could cause chaos to the fixtures. Unless they simply decide to use more GUESTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted March 7 I'm sure the Premiership CEO will have it all in hand as nobody will want to follow a strong Premiership season (2024) with a weakened product?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was Monday and Wednesdays that were protected but we just elected to go for Thursday's instead, don't know how Denmark fits into that scenario? I thought it was all agreed at FIM level, could be wrong of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was all agreed at FIM level, could be wrong of course If it was Mons/Weds there would be every chance of Poole running at Prem level again!! However, the likes of Ipswich and Sheffield could be an issue. Edited March 8 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted March 15 Are we assuming that there will be 2 divisions (plus the ndl) racing in 2025? Seems a bit presumptuous IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they simply decide to use more GUESTS It is all down to "Canal Tv" not wanting to televise meeting on Sat/Sun from Ekstraliga 2/1. Now, in 2025, moving Ekstraliga 2 to Thurs for tv only. If you are not sure of the Polish Speedway Law, "We will do what we want & you all will amend to suit". The ISPL have no say in the matter. This will affect all Premiership riders at H/L or 2nd string level that ride in the Ekstraliga 2 in 2025. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
