In the 1950's when tracks were shutting down due to poor crowds of less than 5,000 to 10,000. In 1959 there were only 9 Teams in the National League & 5 in the Southern League.

Why would Sky want to keep showing Elite League Speedway. In the whole of the Elite League in June & July there where only 5 meetings (out of 46) with both Teams having their own 1-7 racing. June Matches 22 Matches with teams own 7 riders 2 (Aces v Robins & Brummies v Aces) RR 27, Guests 14, Guest reserves 22. Worst culprits Poole – Aces v Pirates RR, Guests 2, Guest Reserve 1 Swindon – Bees v Robins RR, Guests 3, Guest Reserve 1 Poole – Eagles v Poole RR, Guests 2, Guest Reserve 2 July Matches 24 Matches with teams own 7 riders 3 (Aces v Robins, Eagles v Brummies & Panthers v Brummies) RR 24, Guests 15, Guest reserves 11. Worst culprits Wolves – Pirates v Wolves RR, Guests 2, Guest Reserve 1 Aces – Robins v Aces RR, Guests 1, Guest Reserve 1 Is it any wonder that Speedway is not taken seriously by the Media

It was tried in 1997 & was quickly dropped the following year.

Been thinking of ways to get rid of Guests & RR( I know it hurts). Put all the riders into a pool( not full of water ). Each Team Manager & Promoter at the beginning of the season decides what averages they would like to use for their 1 to 7 e.g. No 1 - 9.58 No 2 - 8.20 down to No. 7 to meet the points limit. Then say 2 weeks before a meeting they pick riders which have averages on or below this from the pool. Can only use the same rider 5 time at home & 5 times away per season. No guests no RR. Daft isn’t it the whole pool of riders is your team.

Preferably aimed at the BSPA.

Ivan Mauger 1957/58 Wimbledon rubbish then reappears in 1963 onwards

But if they did you could Boldon them Over.

Wouldn’t have got 7+1 from missing rider Neil.

I have to say that was a surprise at Buxton. Buxton 41 Stoke 49well done to all the team & a special well done to Guest Ben Morley.

There’s 5 riding for Newcastle (well 4 + RR for the other) on Sunday but none riding for Leicester .

TWK there are 5 Elite only riders, 10 D/U & 25 Premier League only?

But where would we find a team to represent GB? We cant find 4 for a 4 team tournament.

Because the BSPA have got no Balls. Whose getting hung up on a Name.

Yes but they need a lot of wind . So should use the BSPA.

Also sailing boats.

But how can it be the Elite of the Elite When it has the premier League riders who are supposedly not the Elite of the Elite.

You’ve just had another meeting tonight to show what a crap rule it is. 10 points up and 2 race later you are losing.

Then they will tell you not to bother coming again. Which has been known to happen.

Or scrap the Elite League as against Trade Description Act.

Just posted this on another topic page but seems relevant to your quote. Bit difficult to answer as there are only about 42 British riders racing in the Elite & Premier Leagues. Out of a total of 161 riders.

But if there wasn’t for 23 riders from the Premier league riders doubling up in the Elite League ( 33%) there be no Elite League.
