What I don't understand is why admission prices have to be the same or similar across each league?!? If a promoter feels he can make his business profitable at £5-£10 why not? It's just an odd rule to have in place imo. There has to be some kind of incentive to get people back in, a full stadium is so much more entertaining than 800 vastly spread out even if you'd be a few quid down, especially with clubs that have no rents to cover. I just find it odd

Nightmare signings
Daniel Smith replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Some random names on people's list. I assumed "Nightmare Signings" referred to absolutely pointless, rubbish rider's. Some are actually picking top rider's that guarantee points on the board for the team. -
There would be a huge meltdown if that happened. The only way the management would be able to recover that situation is by bring C.Holder & T.Batchelor back

3,2,1,0 or 6,4,2,1 or 4,3,2,1 or 5,3,2,1
Daniel Smith replied to IainB's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
There's absolutely no point in change with 4-3-2-1. It's exactly the same as the current one. Personally, league racing should remain the same, but all Cup matches (ko cup, SON etc) the scoring system shouldn't allow for draws & never benefit 2nd & 3rd. League - 3-2-1-0 Cup - 6-3-2-0 Trying to win races has to be priority for me. -
RIP British Speedway

What does Dale do, that's the question??

We should be looking at & trying to sign both. At the end of the day Sweden & Poland will be priority for both of them.

........ and ripping it up in Sweden too. Absolutely no chance of him coming back any time soon, for as long as he remains in the GP's at least

The season has been really bad but I'm not convinced the team for 2022 will be much better. They're talking about 2 'Rising Stars' next year (wrong imo), this most likely to be Mountain & Kinsley. Jorgensen, Lawson & Kerr already in for 2022. Peterborough are losing Pedersen, Wolves losing Schlein, will Crump continue, Sheffield could lose Holder as may look to stay abroad, also who really wants Batchelor now? Rider's will be at a premium next year unless more foreign rider's become available to the UK, this I don't see, especially the higher quality ones. You just look at the rider's at other Prem clubs & you just don't see them wanting to move, especially to King's Lynn. We will be the last pickings for them. We've also got the possibility of Oxford joining the league. I seriously do not hold out much hope for improvement at all.

Belle Vue v Peterborough Panthers - Grand Final
Daniel Smith replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Ain't most passing in Speedway down to rider error?? A quicker rider behind always makes the rider in front pull defensive moves. This has to be the most nonsense post on here. The racing was terrific. Belle Vue v Peterborough I hope is the final for the next 30yrs until others get better tracks in all honesty -
Belle Vue v Peterborough Panthers - Grand Final
Daniel Smith replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Get what you're saying but it's down to value for money. The only value comes at playoff time & then it's still only certain tracks that offer it at that point, in terms of producing quality racing. Peterborough & Belle Vue are the top draw tracks in the uk, cannot be doubted. I couldn't justify paying to watch this sport week in week out on titchy tracks, ftg tracks etc. -
Belle Vue v Peterborough Panthers - Grand Final

Congratulations to Peterborough. A team written off by all. A team even through injuries managed to still keep up the momentum. Absolutely sensational -

At the end of the day, we've been treated to probably the best top flight final in many many years. Loving it -

14 rider's. You forgot the R/R twins up against each other tonight -
But like I said before, everything Bewley has done this season around the NSS means nothing. The standard between the British Premiership & SON is night & day, chalk & cheese etc. Lambert is in the World top 10 9th in the Ekstraliga averages I would have picked Bewley a month ago but Lambert impressed me at both Torun GP's. Pretty sure (and rightly so) swung it for Stead & Allen too

This is not a new thing, especially in the uk.
