I’m from Huddersfield so Sheffield is south to me whereas Redcar is north to me but south to Glasgow and Berwick. Whereas Edinburgh….. confused you will be 😳 I think you’re the only one confused from your geography 😂 nobody in Britain would class Middlesborough as South 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 valve Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 2 hours ago, Ben91 said: If done correctly then absolutely. On the basis of a league with 14 teams you could race home and away against everyone once, then another round of six fixtures against the sides in your north/south conference. Makes for 19 home meetings per team, plenty of speedway. Points count in your north/south conference and then there are play offs to decide overall champions at the end. Either top of each region over two legs or the top two from each region qualify with semi finals. Not necessarily what I’d like to happen but an option. Would not work There’s simply not enough riders of suitable competitive quality to run a format where eventually teams from regions/divisions/whatever meet in the playoffs /final because such numbers of teams would need doubling up and what happens if/when two teams meet who share one or more riders?

old bob at herne bay Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago We started 2025 with 16 team of 7 riders, total 112 riders. Quick check showed that there were only 90 unique riders , cos of double uppers. So enough riders to complete almost 13 teams with no double uppers allowed. Maybe they will follow one of county cricket's rejected ideas of 2 zones of 6 sides (north could have 7) . Each would race each other twice home and away. Top two clubs in each zone race the p.offs. you could have a separate KO cup competition all clubs drawn outh of the hat In speedways case the "south" zone would be Plymouth Poole Ipswich Oxford Kings Lynn and Leicester The rest woudl be "north" Race nights - well good luck with that.
