One Big League - Problem Solved
Daniel Smith replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Agree, and if we can have Sheffield, Ipswich, Peterborough and Glasgow come up, Leicester drop down, all the better. -
One Big League - Problem Solved
Daniel Smith replied to Grachan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Making mistakes are very relevant to the discussion. When you start removing the duplication the list is smaller. If it goes 1 big league it has to be 6 man teams, 42 team average, and the No6 can't be an average under 4. This would force teams to go strength in depth and a lot more competitive. -

Lewis Rose listed twice and he also has retired. That's another 2 off the list Edit Claus Vissing and Lewis Kerr also listed twice. That's now 4 gone Edit 2 Not likely to see Pieszczek again and definitely not Vaculik in the UK 2019 so they too need to be counted out. Edit 3 Nicolaj Busk Jakobsen is on twice -
Swindon v Belle Vue. Thursday 27/09/18.
Daniel Smith replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.3181 See Rosco is having a little pop at the lack of support. Putting the blame firmly on the supporters for next year's team already. Unfortunately Alun, this is a pointless meeting for fans to justify passing over their hard earned. As for the last meeting at the current Abbey Stadium, many believe that this could be the last ever Robins home meeting. A little bit of gratitude towards your supporters rather than slagging them off may have gone a little further. -
Compared to what is on offer at King's Lynn every week, last night would have been the best meeting of the season to Stars fans that don't have access to TV meetings. Even though there has been far better meetings for Belle Vue fans, you are very spoilt and lucky with what you have on offer every week.

All depends on what happens in the 1st leg of the final as to whether the admission price is worth it. If King's Lynn get beat by 25+ in the 1st leg, it wouldn't matter what the price is, people won't go. Keep the score within 10 and many may feel the admission prices are irrelevant. Seeing the first ever time the Stars win the top flight league title is worth far more than money.

Riders wages have to be reduced. I'd go as much as a quarter off. If rider's want the best equipment it's up to them to find those funds. It shouldn't be clubs responsibility to fund the rider's having the best of the best. All rider's should be paid the same from 1-7. Premiership £150 per point. Championship £70 per point and National League £20 per point.

Would people go for different competitions?? Regular season, a pairs and fours competition and the Premiership rider's championship GP style where teams race every track? With the current Premiership you'd have 12 home fixtures. Every club rides on the same day in a pairs and fours competition at every track. That's an extra 2 meetings for all clubs in the season. Top 2 in the averages in the pairs plus the No7 as reserve. 3rd-6th in the averages race in the 4's, No7 as reserve. After the first 6 home fixtures completed top 2 in the averages go into the GP style Premiership Rider's Championship riding every track in the league. 3rd and 4th in a teams average has the wild cards at their home meetings. Top scorer overall wins. Something a little bit different there and adds extra fixtures for every track. Sure it'll all be a bit more complicated than that but it's a start

Best wishes to all the Stars fans hitting the road to Belle Vue Fingers crossed the Stars can deliver and and take a huge step towards the Play-Off final.

I don't think you understand the term troll. Whatever Steve has said I may or may not agree with but he's making reference to posts made. Whereas you are following him around the threads to attack him, making no reference to the conversation. That my friend, is trolling. If you don't agree with him that's fine, doesn't give you the right to personally attack the poster.

Stevebrum hasn't said anything out of turn. You are the only one trolling

Don't disagree but the biggest issue that everyone (including myself) had with Batchelor was, if you that injured to withdraw from a meeting, how can you be fit the next day. Whether it's guesting or for your own team is irrelevant.

I wonder if Stars fans are gonna boo Iversen next time like they do Batchelor. Pulled put of a crucial cup meeting through injury, almost costing the team the meeting but managed to take 5 rides and 9 points in Sweden the next day. Pretty much the reason Batch got sacks that fateful July 2017.
