As Poole fan I thought your first thought would be where were you own team riders were on your home track ...glug glug

I took the mick like many others but he to used crack me up with him sayings ...no longer will the start marshall walk away and the tapes fly up or the riders go line a breast into the first bend ..rip tony

It would to you .

As what hapens if do that and a rider breaks his leg ? you can't factor that in . the bottom line is after 40 years or more some of best speedway brains have sat down many a time and can't come up with anything that is better . Also Fans don't want to rr for top riders .there is so much more that just making a rule that just get rid of guests .

As i pointed out if it was Ward the crowd would way down ..you need to factor these things in when coming up with new rules .

Yea i see your point .must agree that tends to be a loophole that has never been stopped

And what happens when a star number one is missing ? you used rr and the crowd drops and people lose money or there are two or 3 riders missing ? ...as i said i don't like guests but in till there is better idea i guest they are here to stay

Always been changes with teams in a season nothing new .

Oh dear name calling when you can't debate anymore ..so childish

People may not like guests and there by no way ideal but I guess that the fact that after 40 odd years we still used them no one has come up with a better idea .

For a so called speedway fan that is yet again another stupid comment ...First of all it's always silly to compare speedway with any other sport (maybe sky think it's funny that speedway fans don't fight with each other like football ) and I would think that you must be the only speedway fan on the whole forum who thinks that a change of race night will not have an effect on crowd figures ..it's just common sense . There again you think coming mid table was vital pre play offs so common sense and logic is something I don't really put you with .

Well not if you are watching it :rofl:

A mixture of both but the point is still the same that a tv match on a normal race night will have more fans

Most of the above could sum yourself up ...not sure why you think act somehow different to the next person . The bottom line is if your going say silly things like the tac rule was fairer than double points or that 8th place was important before the play offs then people are going argue with you .

Well of course not but anyone with a clue about speedway would understand that a off night is going bring in less fans .

Maybe I made a typo on how many passes there were

Well without even looking to hard I can tell you that Pedersen was not even in heat 5 ..shame that you got it wrong straight away after no doubt spending so much time in trying to make yourself look clever ..bit of advice if you going ask someone what match they are watching you need to get the facts 100 % correct or you will look stupid ...what were you saying by the way about making up stuff that did not happen ? Bit shocked that you made such a mistake as your maths are so good

The European championship last round was one of the worst meetings ive seen hardly one pass ...last night was miles better than that just go's to show that you have made up your mind before the meeting has even taken place .

The match tonight had plenty of decent racing ...how can be another bore ? most of the sky matches have been decent this year .I find it amazing the number of people who call it rubbish just for the sake of it even when it's not .

Not 100 % true as I said on another topic first of all there always going to be a small crowd on a off race night plus you have to put some effort to promote the meeting as well with lower prices etc ...having a meeting on a off race night with sky in town and getting people to pay full price then you are always going to get the same result ,a small crowd .

Yet again it's not so much sky being there but the off race night .

Yea like that ..can't see Lakeside doing much here

Told you what ? if you finish 6 now it's the same as being 6th pre play offs ...tell me what pot of gold did you get for coming 6th in the old days ..i tell you the answer the same as get you get now nothing . Unlees you can tell us what was so great about where you came in the league pre plays off and what you got as a reward then your point is useless .

No chance the way he rides and acts he unlikely to get past season without a big crash or being arrested ...great talent but won't be a world champion under this format

Never said that at all ...you said that teams try harder in the old days at the end of the season because there was no play offs and I I ask you why that was ..as far as I can see 6th was 6th then and 6th was 6th now and riders still rode for points money ..so just explain why it was so important as you said about where your team came before the play offs ? By the way teams dropping points to strengthen up it's nothing new it's happen all the time in the good old days as well .
