I was amazed that they got so close in the first one.. But at least it keeps gravitas and kudos (and probably most importantly), big financial rewards in winning that competition Which is what all "proper" sporting comps should have... Lose that and the media goes... Then the sponsors... Then the fans... And any sporting contest can be one sided at any time, as that is just the nature of sport.. UK Speedway wont change though as the riders need the money, and the promoters cannot pay them enough to be "exclusive" to them individually... A shame, but that is simply how it is.. Looking forward to a good meeting tonight at the NSS, always great to see Emil and Doyle there...

Glasgow Vs Redcar, play offs 230923
mikebv replied to Jaizer's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
They run guestfests after guestfests all season, yet have blank weeks due to rider availability... Work that one out... Just run meetings with 14 different riders if needed, as it won't make much (any?) difference to the credibility of what's on offer.. And it would at least get the league done on time... -
Rules are kept ambiguous so they can be "interperated" as and when is needed.. You can't "make it all up as you go along" if rules are clear and beyond any subjectivity... And that would be no good for UK Speedway who depend on that "moments notice" change in personnel...

"Turning into a farce"? I think that particular horse bolted a long, long time ago.... It wouldn't be UK Speedway without some make it up as you go along stuff though would it...? Imagine how boring it would be if they had clear, unambiguous rules and regs, that were not subjective and open to challenge and interpretation? It gives us all something to laugh at, at least, doesnt it... Last night we had the 8 day guest rule/NDL rider exempt debate, and next week no doubt there will be another one that gives us a giggle... Best Wishes to Robert in his quest for another winners medal... Could he be in a position to make it a hat trick next year riding for *(insert name here as applicable)...

Best of luck to Sheffield, great to see a team using the clear regulations to bring in a top star, just like the Aces did last year... "Mr Play Offs" himself.... #aceslegend #tigerslegend Will be earning as many winners (and losers) medals as Bomber at this rate...
