To many rain offs and guest swimmers that very few bother to watch it anymore.

2017 - 1 Or 2 Fixed Race Nights And When?
stevebrum replied to 1 valve's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
To be fair Ipswich have said they would back EL if it's suits them, Glasgow have shown an interest for 2017 and with Sheffield who now have forward thinking promotion at the helm there is 3 very possibilities. -

I can only imagine that some are trying to get the 2nd night to suit their own club! Looks like Thursday seems as good as certain tho. -

Agreed. Makes sense to have consecutive nights. However why would Kings Lynn move from Wednesday to Thursday if Wednesday is one of the suggested days?? Makes no sense. SKY have covered quite a few Wednesdays even some Tuesdays however Monday is still seen as Speedway night on SKY. It would be nice to hear from the BSPA and promoters engaging the fans to see what days they prefer but I doubt we are a consideration! -

We certainly need to work on improving our own but that's a separate argument for next year. It will be interesting to see how the job share role works as competitive equipment is absolutely vital. I'd be happy to see the likes of MJJ, THJ back in the UK because the amount of meetings they ride in will be more on our terms than theirs. And maybe we might just see the real abilities given they only have a set amount of meetings to race in instead of them picking and choosing to suit them instead of their UK clubs. -

It's certainly not an easy solution! Sensibility would be consecutive nights like Thursday and Friday. I just don't see Friday being an option but of course i could be wrong! Having 2 nights like Monday and Thursday could still work with a squad system as the number ones (and squad) can share roles so one could do the Monday and the other the Thursday. It's going to be a lot of changes next year but we have to hope that the riders will come all the same! -
of course I'm guessing, none of us know as no statements have been put out officially. You don't quite get this forum lark do you, a lot of what is discussed is speculation. Jeez. name me the 'many people' who are fed up of my posts. I'll await the names thanks. Do we know why Steve? He is a season on season performer in the EL so it's unusual he isn't starting in the UK in a new season.

Looks like it's happening anyway. Hinted that it will be 2 nights by CVS and given that Lynn have moved to a Thursday I guess that is one of them. Makes sense to keep Monday as the other, given the SKY deal. -
Plenty have been vocal about it, especially those that race here regular. So I see Kenny would be no different if he was planning to not ride here I'd imagine he would have said so. Good for him that he has been signed up in Europe elsewhere. I doubt he would have been first name on any team sheet given how his form has dropped alarmingly. UK is in Europe last time I looked, and he I usually signed up in ALL leagues by now. Just pointing out glaringly obvious stuff here. I didn't say that you had said anything about him being you're number one. I just pointed out it was odd he isn't signed up for the Stars or anyone in the UK when he usually is.

I always thought Rohan was going to be a great rider but seems to have stalled a little and any improvement has been relatively small. Wouldn't be surprised if he does have a big break thru somewhere down the line but like you say maybe it's more in his head than anything. Time will tell if he lives up to the hype some give him. However still think Swindon have stronger options.
-
So just to be clear you state his average went backwards in 2015 but he is getting better each season. Now that's what I call guff. Having done some 'research' he finished 2013 and 2014 on identical averages and actually improved in 2015 (was surprised at that). However didn't finish any of those seasons as a number one.
-
Of course he doesn't have too. Despite the likes of Iversen, Janowski and plenty more saying so. You clearly believe he is your missing number one so get him signed up. However in the real world he doesn't appear that attractive to UK teams.
-
He hasn't said that so. Plus his form hasn't been great throughout Europe last season so I'd imagine he would be looking to get whatever is offered him. Can't see him being that attractive throughout Europe similar to Kasprzak based on 2015. Bet both are delighted they are offered anything!
-
Find it odd that he hasn't been announced if they are struggling to sign anyone. Either they have targets still hopeful and Bjerre is on standby or Bjerre is pricing himself out as he wants a number one salary.
-
True, although Sweden had a 7 team EL last year!
-
On the plus side Leicester have the strongest reserves. However the signing of Hougaard is hardly likely to be too exciting. On paper extremely weak, but similar to 4 or 5 other teams.
