The result won't be changed and quite rightly so as it's the ref fault not's swindon .It's not just as easy as taking two points away as if the ref had apply the rules swindon could have sent muse to tapes etc changing the whole course of the match etc .The bottom line the ref is at fault and the result will stay the same .

Who said the play offs were going to eradicate meaningless matches ? no matter what sport that is never going to happen ..who said that ? what they do is make more matches not meaningless and keep more clubs seasons alive as well as giving the clubs who have done well a chance of a decent crowd at the end of season and a much needed pay out

? so seeing that the league can't even get a sponsor who would pay this prize money in speedway for coming 5th 6th and 7th

That is not how life or sport works .you do well you get the rewards or you might as well not even ride for any points or have match points .maybe in the Wimbledon they should give the same prize money to the players who got knocked out in the first round to the player who wins the event .

A Better question is if one team runs away with the league why would any fans bar the die hards watch any of the other matches ..it's amazing to think that fans think that with clubs seasons being over in may or early june that somehow crowds would go up overall if we went back to the old format because somehow riders and fans would be proud to finished 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th .

Have to agree with everything The Civil Services greatest batsman had to say ...the worst meeting ive ever been to with more re runs than Only fools and Horses on uk gold . The pit gate being kept opened every time so riders could waste even more time . Then at 10 past 10 with two heats left they had a break for track work !. If you went to speedway tonight for the first time you were never go again .. ...Swindon as a side look like they have gone off the boil and if ride like that against Poole they will get beat ...main concerns are Doyle slow and really not up for it Bwd not fit and the flying Frenchman who looks like he's lost his form

so if there were runaway leaders how would all the club's get there money back

Just spoke to rosco he's hoping to used Newman again if we race Wolves away in the final .

Yet again if there was runaway leaders in a normal season all the matches would be meaningless and you would lose revenue without any chance of getting it back .

yet again tell me the difference from any other sport ? You get plenty extra in terms that you see a grand final with every rider trying a 100 % and with a chance of your team become league champions..every club is losing money and you want to stop them giving them a chance of getting some of it back .

Yet again nearly every final in every sport put the price up for a final but in speedway its some how a crime even thou clubs need every penny they can get to survive .

? Without the play offs there seasons would have petered out a lot sooner ..this subject been done to death and the thing people can never quite understand is plays offs without a league title on the line hold no interest for the fans and would run at a massive loss . And what happens if went back to the old format and a team runs away with the league ? do you expect the teams in 2nd 3rd and 4th to have better crowds ? what about the teams who or 5th and 6th this year who still had a chance to make the play offs ,do you expect them somehow to have bigger crowds under the old format once there season is over by june ?

I think crowds are down full stop in most places.i remember having to wait before getting into Poole staduim and then finding it hard to find a spot to watch the racing .this year I just walk in 3 times and watched from where I liked..speedway is dying a very slow death in the uk and I don't think there is any cure for it no matter what format is used .

I think everyone understands that if it's on tv and there are no price deals the crowd will be less ...who has said otherwise ?

Just seen Bwd on the golf course with Dakota North

The forecast for Poole looks like heavy showers all day up intill 9 .The best course of action would be for a early call off to save everyone a lot of time and effort.

But all these other sports that have them are not looked upon as Mickey mouse ? Yet again a only in speedway saying . THE sport won't move as it has to many fans stuck in the dark ages

Like he buys all the stadiums where Speedway and Darts are played ? What are the crowds like for these mx events and what do they pay to get in ?

Why would Monday be perfect for fans ? it would be the worst night for many ...a million more sticking points than clubs just having to get there stadium on those nights .

it's a bit like Poole season ...you fall off a edge of a cliff

Steve are you going on holiday in the next few weeks ?

I Been to poole both matches and will be there again on Monday ...I doubt you been to an away match in years as you have no one to go with . Thou I could have a word with Rosco to let you clean the back straight bogs out and in return let you watch heat 15 .

Easy win for Swindon

The bottom line is shov is right you reply (bite ) to his every post .

it's amazing he bites every time the rest of forum understood years ago that shov just having bit of a laugh .
