from what BD has said about costs and dwindling attendances it may have to be premier or nothing , though he has always said he only wanted to compete in the highest league . possible factors in the smaller attendances are the location of the stadium , in the middle of nowhere some may say , the distance many fans have to travel , the the lack of promotion compared to other clubs , and the seeming gulf between the fans and the management . it was hoped the new supporters club might bring the two together . agree the racing , at least at home , is as good as ever , and better than some seasons . the team are truly a team , but as in recent seasons the injuries keeping riders out of racing is shows no sign of abating .
The way the Elite League is turning into a joke to the sake of a few clubs I think to bring back good racing and teams with common sense I think the Premier League would be a good move. We mite even see an increase in the crowds _________________ The mighty Eastbourne Eagles
agree completely kopster .proper speedway , elite has become a farce . obviously miss our present riders , especially this season where the are a real team , total effort too . that will be the difficult thing about it . some from last year are not missed at all , including brits . the were only here for the short term to suit themselves .
Personally I'd go with the Premier League, more Teams, maybe not quite up to the Elite league although this season without the GP riders there cannot be much difference, every bit as competitive. I'd go for it but would BD ? _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
I wouldn't mind going back to the Premier League. I went to Rye House and Reading a couple of times last year and thought the racing to be every bit as good as the Elite League. There was certainly a lot more passing in the races, probably because of the 'lesser experience' of some of the riders.
If we did go back to PL then I would ask that it be raced on a Sunday afternoon as I only have to work on a Sunday every 6 or 7 weeks, whereas at present I have to work most
Saturdays. I know that's a selfish request, but I'm sure quite a few supporters would like to revert to Sundays anyway. _________________ Another Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
oops , bulldog has the problem , but with sundays .maybe some of each , it used to be that way .many more teams , remember the national league , combined top two divisions . as only one league visit for all teams , and not the repeats we now have , we made an effort to see every team , so hardly missed a match . now that is something the promotion should remember
