What I seen on this topic and most that people can not accept that Speedway has problems in General rather than in one league . Intill people get there head round that speedway it's not working at any level or league then I doubt it will ever move forward .

Pretty of other things to try . As for one big league it's been tried and never worked and never will .

? just as many clubs in the PL cry about losing money . That is the bit don't understand let's all go Pl it's hardly a winning product . A rosier future is to try bring more fans into the sport not drive them away

Oh dear ...another example of why the public should not get a vote on Europe .

You make a good case are give you that ..this convo really makes me want to see the match now

Stead score those points from number 1 . for the Lions he would be a second string . Cook /Sedgy Fricke/Stevie may do well at home but I doubt there v 5 no'1' in the same side every week . like they would be v Leic . Bar the reserves it's almost impossible to see how Edinburgh would get a Heat Advantage let alone a win . Beating up on the Likes of Ricthie Hawkins and Matt Weathers is World apart from taken on riders who are good enough to be picked for there side in World Cup finals . Great News as Bates rides for the Lions as well .

Doyle record is not great ? think your find he's beaten Cook many times at Armadale and he's now a world class rider and bar maybe cook no one would get near him .He is a stand out El number one now unlike Cook . Then you got Stead ,Mads ,Bucks and Klindt who would and are pl number one's . Bar the reserves and the Edinburgh ones are not that good where would they get any heat advantages from ? The Lions other week got a point away to runaway El leaders Kings Lynn but somehow in your eyes they would get hammered by Edinburgh To give you a idea in the gap in class Cook Edinburghs no 1 scored 4 for Belle Vue at the lions den the other week when Belle Vue were smash to bits . Over two legs there would be about a 40 point gap

Spot on for most people no one even cares or think's who come top . The rules and the mind set is to get in the play offs spots then go from there . My Team Swindon have come top and not gone on to win but I never gave it a second thought about being the best side or it being unfair as the rules are quite clear .

All I have even seen is people not thinking it would not happen and given the track record of the people running it who could blame them . Never seen any post from anyone saying that they hoped that the stadium would not be built

You seen Leicester top 5 five ...it's almost 5 pl number ones ...3 of that top five were in the World Cup final last week . Get a grip .

Not really . A El team would still smash a pl team to bits

You don't so you reckon that Edinburgh would beat Eastborne etc ?

It's not hard to figure out as Most Pl would not get the crowds or money to run at El level . if they wanted to go up they could now so not why big crowds would turn out for a match that they would want to lose ?

But it's not like other sports because teams as a rule don't want to run or can't run in each others league . Also it was tried before and it never worked .

Because Speedway teams make money out of the play offs the sort of money that keeps clubs open . There are many other reasons but if it keeps speedway teams alive then it's easy to see why it's justified Unless the Business is ran well then you won't be able watch any sport .

Been already said there is so much sport on tv these days there is no need for any casual fan of any sport to leave the house . But for some reason it's only in Speedway fan that the casual fan that never go's because it's on tv .

Cook and Kennett were available this year but were never picked unlike last year . All course it matters who the managr is as it good to make the final rather than getting beat by the USA and Latvia .

Great point .

Of course it has we got a manager who done a whole lot better .. Last year you told us that no one could do a better job but the fact is they did .

What coming 4th rather than getting stuffed by the US and Latvia like Middlo did ...?

No the year before and the year before under Middlo we got no where near the final ..you were told we could do better and we did because Middlo was useless .

We were 7th last year and 4th this year . The fact that we got a low does shows a lot it shows that we got into a final to be able so rather Middlo's garbage effort last year

Not all about that .. Speedway World cup would be no more if everyone decided to put out fast track riders in meetings . teams have to show the world cup respect rather than using it as a training ground Come on Steve you not allowed to say you enjoy any El match

Have the Czechs etc got a Young World Champion ? When I looked at there line up one of there riders was A Dryml

Don't agree ..in sport you got give yourself the best possible chance . If had gone with your attitude we would have got beat last week rather than getting a great win .
