Integrity is something the sport lacks a lot of sadly. Over half the top tier teams qualifying for the title play offs is ridiculous, in much the same way that 10 of 16 GP riders qualify for the semi-finals these days. It renders so much of the racing that goes before things pointless.  I’m more convinced than ever that one league is the way to go. The standard will drop but the things that have got the sport into this mess need to be ironed out asap. Treading water like we have for about 25 years can’t be the answer yet again. 

The biggest one of the lot.

The standard will have to drop sadly. Through necessity rather than desire. Britain isn’t producing as many riders as it used to and that next tier below the elite names isn’t as good as it was 10-20 years ago. There are still enough riders to fill teams, they’re just not as good as they used to be. The way the sport has been run is to blame for that. A big part of which has been doubling up. It is a massive stain on the credibility of the sport. 

Speak for yourself.    Come on Tiger’s lad and you Witches.

It isn’t just those teams that will be disadvantaged is it. Any club that has a big hitter that visits these tracks on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, will also be either running rider replacement for their top rider, or an insufficient guest. I say insufficient, because all the other top riders will be missing and riding in Poland also so a guest will be one of a lesser quality therefore weakling their side.    It just won’t work unless weekend clubs change their race night which I’m not sure any of them would willingly do. One of the biggest bugbear of fans seems to be guests but if you run one league and let clubs keep their weekend race night, then it would become even worse!  It isn’t just the top boys that ride in Poland either is it. It’s unworkable.

The Ipswich Bitches . Christ what will you be like if Doyle dosent get his wildcard . The worst part of your lot coming out of the woodwork into a final is the likes of you piping up with your garbage. Come on Max and the Lions . Everyone but the bitches are rooting for you.
