Business as usual then? And just plod along until the inevitable happens? Working around Poland and riders that prioritise test sessions and U24 matches ahead of the UK? -

And Nick Morris is on his way back to Berwick... as long as he steers clear of Leicester someone else can have him. -

13 opponents is 26 matches 1H1A, throw in a cup competition and that's a minimum of 26 matches, a cup run and pay offs takes that to around 30. Maybe bring back a 4's... which were always popular meetings and you're starting to put a credible season together. -

Not on day one, there is no magic wand overnight fix though, Speedway has been run into the ground over the course of the last 40 years, it's going to take time to rebuild. -

We are where we are though, unfortunately, and sooner or later something radical will need to be done and each passing year they keep rinsing and repeating the existing output makes the chances of any radical change succeeding less and less likely. -

Yes, but, Leicester's achiles heel might rear is head again if/when the weather turns come play off season, as they don't seem to be able to adapt quickly enough when the track is anything out of the usual at home, as shown again on Monday vs Sheffield... And it still remains to be seen whether Luke Becker's injuries have healed enough for him to make a return to the UK when he's back on track again, if you know what I mean! -

The way Kemp stomped back into the pits after 12 looks like his head might have gone. -

This would be done and dusted by now if we'd been running R/R -

There was a lot of head shaking going on a he crossed the finish line and when he got back to the pits also and had a few words with Kemp... I've just seen them both at in the pits having a bit of a debrief -

Well... the sooner they start the better imo -

It may not attract them at the moment, but... if the sport is taken seriously by the media, crowds increase, a juicy tv contract is forthcoming, then who knows? -
Is It Finally Time For One League?
IainB replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I'd say UK clubs, when choosing their race night need to determine when they think their best crowds would be... That is when a rider is going to have to make their mind up whether a 28 (ish) league contract in the UK (and for some the right to move here) is better than whatever the other leagues offer. -

IainB replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There will be 14 tracks in operation next season, assuming we don't lose any more before then, meaning 70 riders and not 80 and I don't see why any riders should be excluded as long as they can fulfil all of their British League fixtures on whatever night their club decides to ride (home and away). -
AND... why is this even a topic 🤷♂️
-
Maybe he's gotten mixed up between Pole and Poole 😂
-
Riding in Poland I understand... and here's me thinking he rode for Poole!

Everybody can see this apart from the people that run the sport unfortunately. -
Were King's Lynn not under "special measures" last year as regards calling matches off? Didn't they have to seek permission from the governing body? In my opinion that should be the case for every club until an independent match official is on site 2 hours before a meeting at which point it is their decision to postpone or abandon a meeting... unless they're at Belle Vue where the nurse can call the meeting off, ooooh matron!
