Big decisions in November.
IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You should try reading the rules... Then come back to me -

There would probably be riots at a lot of grounds -

I genuinely can't remember, probably because more often than not these days it's not an issue a lot of matches tend to be easy home wins. Anyway stop it now, you're only embarrassing yourself -

I'm not worried about it in the slightest. I just think it's wrong that when a team draws 1 team gets more league points than the other... As I've already said you wouldn't get it in any other sport -

IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It maybe semantics but it is fact. In Speedway it's league points in the other sports mentioned they're bonus points, for reaching set goals during a match -

Again, if you'd read it properly you'd see that I'm not confused by it... I just can't remember it. What does confuse me is whether you can't read properly or can't think properly... I'm beginning to think it's probably both. -

They're bonus points... As already discussed -

I don't know, that's not my point. My point is a draw is a draw... Except in Speedway -

Ahh... Well this is where I would have broken away from the other countries. We're currently rock bottom and something drastic needed/needs doing. I would have gone for Friday and Saturday night -

I think FRN has worked... They're just on the wrong nights -

I disagree, you always get 2 points for drawing away from home, you don't always get bonus points in the other instances you state -
Big decisions in November.
IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Of course bonus points are different to points... you ALWAYS get the points, you don't always get the bonus points... That's why they're called bonus points, der Anyway... I'll be seeing you next Tuesday -

IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
That's bonus points -

No... I'll take the bit where he/she's going off at a tangent about every sport being different and the home advantage thing as him/her wanting to change the subject because he/she couldn't read the detail of my original point... as an apology -

IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I'll take that as an apology, thanks -

IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So again... In which sport other than Speedway do the away team get more league points for a draw than the home team? ... Apology accepted -
Big decisions in November.
IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not more points for drawing though, that's what's ridiculous... please try to understand, you miss the detail in your eagerness for an argument -
Big decisions in November.
IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Thanks for your feedback... so you think that an away team getting more points than a home team for a team is not ridiculous? -
If promoted properly I think there could be quite an appetite for test matches... there was quite a decent crowd at BV earlier in the year for the U21 Team Championship and this despite zero promotion in the UK

The delay between heat 20 and the semi and the final are the reasons I don't go to this anymore... any tension built up through the meeting is lost when it takes half an hour to run the final 120 seconds of racing

IainB replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Agreed with the bonus point... I just can't get my head around the current league point scoring system, never have been able to. Can never remember whether it's 6 or more than 6 to get or lose the extra point and an away draw getting more than a home draw is just ridiculous -
Times have changed though... we live in an instant society these days, multiple forms of entertainment at your fingertips, food and shopping delivered to your door. I don't know where you were getting your 2 hours for 13 races from, at Coventry I seem to remember being away regularly at 8:45 - 9:00 with a 7:30 start

I liked the tractor guy at Scunthorpe on Friday evening... we didn't see him until after heat 10... and then never saw him again. There were zero track rakers and the track was fine all night

It's a shame, that as quite a prolific Twitter user, his back injury didn't allow him to reach for his phone before the event to let his fans know he wouldn't be there. I expected better of Scott
