mikebv Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 57 minutes ago, YeOldPitGate said: Only way I can see things surviving is with five man teams of championship standard maybe 8-10 clubs in the new top league. All the top boys would have to depart as we can't afford them and ideally you would need riders who would be committed to being in Britain for 90% of the time needed. The rot set in during the late 80's and we have limped through to the current last knockings the question is even with five man teams will you find enough riders for UK at Championship standard. We can't carry on as we are and that decision looks like it will be forced onto promoters by events next year even those who want the current status quo to continue will have to accept it. You have the riders dictating the racing nights and thus end up with teams running on Mondays which is probably the least most attractive night of the week for your average punter. Going to be an interesting winter that's for sure. Many years of burying collective heads in the sand, and not listening to those who have drifted away, but still closely follow the sport, has delivered what we have today... Not sure those who have put the sport currently where it sits, are in anyway capable of sorting it out to be honest. The issues, and their obvious solutions, have been staring them in the face for two decades at least, and they have steadfastly ignored them... What will suddenly make them capable now of having a clear vision for the growth of the sport? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREM - Belle Vue, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Redcar, Scunthorpe & Sheffield CHAM - Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford, Plymouth, Poole & Workington You will have to let Worky have Sat afternoons considering they have no floodlights yet!

Fromafar Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Think we have to see out this season out before talking about next season. Things are coming to a head though ,changes will be required in Premiership at least.Interesting times ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagarmeister Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Maybe there is a slim chance of Poole moving up (therefore being on TV) But it's a bit early to be giving Discovery+/TNT/BSN/ a huge stiffy. And that's without mentioning Mr. Top Drawer/you would suggest/three big points/fires himself to the front/stolen a march. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Nicolai Klindt back to reserve from July 1st and veteran Dane, Niels Kristian Iversen, will be the new Stars number 1 👍🏻 this has to be the order for me… 1 Iversen, 2 Lawson, 3 Harris, 4 B Cook, 5 Kvech, 6 Klindt, 7 Scott/Harrison 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whathappenedwas Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 What's the latest on our Rising Star? Both Harrison & Scott have been improvements on Boughen imo, at least they both put the effort in. Scott impressed me the most. Have either been offered the position permanently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we’re going to keep swapping between them both, depending on the track 👍🏻 Scott will definitely ride our home meetings and away meetings at Oxford, then Harrison maybe the others 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield now have the opportunity to do it whilst Flint is out, Birmingham could’ve done it when Edwards was injured instead of replacing him with Hagon… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaddlebowRoad Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 rs is a development initiative if it means doing so with a couple of riders because of injury etc then great riders like scott harrison ablitt etc getting outings and therefore experience is only a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
