For simple reason how do you know when someone is hurt and not fakeing it to gain an advantage ? For example King falls in his first ride and says is arm hurts and he can't ride any more and then the better riders take the rest of his rides . You got to get the balance right between letting someone replace a injured rider but at the same time not letting that side gain an advantage by doing so ..the idea about having two reserves who can take a max of two rides each sounds perfect .

i Think most fans see it that way it's just common sense . A rider will get injured early doors in one these meetings it's just matter of time it might even happen this week .

More of a concern than the joker is having no reserve ,it's a matter of time before we have a pile up in a early heat and a team loses a rider and the meeting is ruined and a teams hopes gone . Each team should have a reserve who can only take a max of two rides at anytime in the meeting, so not only them a chane to replace the injured rider also stops the kind of stunt the poles pulled in the final the other year ..i expect it won't change thou intill something like the above happens .

She normally puts people to sleep not sure she can get cable from her caravan anyhow as it all been stolen and sold for scrap

Should come in handy for people who are wanting to stay up all night for the first Gp .

What is your favourite album of the last 3 years ?

Another good Ipswich team :shock: that twice in a row now

It's not a fact that the one off world finals were not a lottery it's your view you need to understand that ...others feel that is was yet again that does mean they are right it's just there view .

Explain it all ready ..thou to most it's no brainer and needs no one to explain it to them ....i have to say thou on a lighter note i love your sig top class

What else is there to say ? you are your oap mate watched speedway but think never had a clue that it matter what gate riders were on ...just like most subjects on here your got made to look a fool again .

Well common sense will tell's that if the race draw is changed then so will the race dynamic in each heat thus changeing the outcome of each heat and indeed the overrall result ..and with small margins in a one off world finals many of the results would not have been the same .

:rofl:

i ask you a question don't try to duck it ..do you thinks it's matter what gate a speedway rider is on ? it's a simple yes or no question

So let me get this correct ..your saying that what gate you have makes no difference ?

No they won't win off any gate at the top level ...if two unbeaten riders meet in there last race and one has the best gate and one has the worst then the most likely result is one with the best gate is going to win ....for someone who reckons he watches speedway you sure clueless if you don't reckon it's not important what gates riders are on and there going to go out and win no matter what .

Who said anythink about outsiders or pre season favorites winning ? no matter what the draw certain riders still can't win but there is loads of times when the champion would not have been the same but for the gate draw . In speedway meetings haveing he best gate twice rather than once can be massive and no more so in one off World Finals .

Most of those 40 finals would have had a another result if drawn in another raceorder such were the fine margins of a one off world final ..only a dummy like you could think otherwise how many winners there were over that time means nothing .

None, as i said i like to watch events with skill rather than an event that was decided by was number you had on your racejacket .

Not a slur on anyone ..the format was crap not the riders .No great champions because it was mainly a lottery ...only know can someone be called a fair and true champion . Don't have a downer

I have a hugh downer as it rubbish just because it was part of history means you can't say that ? ..Kerry Packers world series is a part of crickets history and that was crap as well .

Well yea as if they had been drawn another number they may have not have won ...the only true champions are the one's frm the Gp's as it always shows the true world no 1 from that year .

IF people had better gates than others then it is a lottery if you drew bad you had next to no chance of winning ...Just glad to see that the modern fan likes to see a fair world champion crown rather than a lucky one .

Never proved anythink ..the old one off final was lottery and was won on the draw most of the time ...it's reminded of a fishing match when the person who drew a bad peg had no chance of winning .

Did the money go where you reckon it went ? where it was suppose to go and where it went are two diffrent things all together, i think most people knew that most of money went into certain peoples back pockets rather than the naive idea that it all went back into British speedway . As for you and the money side you show how way out of touch you were by not understanding why there is a need for play offs

How manu more times i don't think the Gp's are great far from it ,what my problem is is that you try make out that they are not fair and the one off world final was ..when each year it never allowed the top 16 riders to be in it . The GP'S is far from perfect but to go about the one off world off world final being fair is a joke ..the one of final did not give you fair crack of whip to get into as if were born in certain part of the world you had less of a chance of getting into the final . As for the world one of final being superb exitement that is another joke thou some were good a lot of them were boring due to having 6 or 7 guys who had right to be in there in the first place .... Tell me what sort of crowds were the one off world finals getting in there last few years ? 100.000, 50,000 ?
