Speeding Motorcyles Special: 2015 Double-Up Fixture Clashes

Welcome to this edition of Speeding Motorcycles, our fixtures day special. This is where you can find out what fixtures your double-up riders may or may not miss due to those inevitable (apparently!) fixture clashes.

It's a little more complicated this year, because other than that a rider rides for his parent club over any other, we don't know how it will work. There is talk that assets of Elite League clubs will ride for their other EL club over their PL one, and vice versa. Or it may be like last year and PL takes precedence except when the overriding own club asset clause applies.

And quite where Lewis Blackbird, who belongs to a National League club, stands is anyone's guess!

I've ordered it alphabetically by rider this year, and where I'm not sure which club has priority I've left it as a clash. All fixtures are Elite or Premier League unless stated. Enjoy!

  1. So 11 clashes for Ashley Birks and Charles Wright, but only one for Lewis Kerr. Suggests doubling up works if your two teams ride on days of the week that are blank in the other league (Kerr rides for KL on Wednesdays when no PL teams ride, and Newcastle on Sunday when no EL teams ride.

    But a Thursday and Friday combination appears lethal (fits both Birks and Wright). But Danny King (5 clashes) and Kyle Howarth (3 clashes) don't fair too badly from that combination.

    We need to bring back shared double-uppers, and perhaps reduce the number of double uppers (but that might require going down to six man teams)
