However we look at it there are hurdles to overcome to make any sort of changes to stabilise the sport and the EL. Doing nothing is no longer and option.
Taking the sport forward is going to need big hurdles to jump through.
From Poland, Sweden, Denmark
It works fine in Poland (8 teams) and Sweden (7 teams) and it's certainly something to consider here, yer we blindly carry on running double the fixtures with less available riders and not many wanting to race here.
Season still races till October agreed however play offs are important for the sport so have to have a set date IMHO, otherwise we run speedway on a whim to suit, no one wants that.
Correct, that's why you have March till first week of September to fit them in.
I know the play off dates have been altered when we have had dreadful weather in the season that has affected most clubs but the weather has been much kinder this year so there is no excuse.
The play offs are the pinnacle of the season and every team has plenty of time to fit in their matches. If they haven't then that's just tough. Unless there are extreme reasons there is no reason to alter the dates.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Still has to mention the ridiculous POKC debate. It isn't a debate. Only you believe it.
Wake me up when you have anything relevant to say.
Others have if you read the forum.
Some need to travel (for 'away' matches) so it's only fair some will want to prioritise those dates.
Likewise I don't work Mondays either, my team isn't involved either.
Agreed. The scheduling is at fault however these are the important dates now for the play offs. To change them on a whim would be disgraceful at this point.
The answer?? Address it at the AGM.
People have planned there time off around the play off dates and should in no way even be concerned altering the dates to suit those who can't get all there fixtures completed.
It's a long season and there should be no excuse to not fit all your meetings in unless there are extreme circumstances.
Any date changes (unless it's weather related FOR the play offs) would be a smack in the face for the fans.
