Yampy 20 Posted September 20, 2018 After 2018 didn't work out so well.... What happens next? I appreciate I am only a part-time compared to some of you on here and that a lot will depend on what daft rules/limits are introduced but surely Freddie has to be persuaded to come back?? Who goes to fit him in?? Will Rory be fit after his op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magnificentseven 235 Posted September 21, 2018 Whatever happens at the AGM priority has to be a proper number one then build the team around him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted September 21, 2018 I notice in the Speedway Star that Klint's average is not far from Jacob's (albeit from less matches) I like Jacob but this year has to go down as a disappointment. That said there is no guarantee that Fred will ever be back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the rumours are right and there is one big league then I wonder if any rider with an average over 8 will fit into whatever new lower team limit they impose. There are likely to be about 18 teams and there are not 18 riders with an average over 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It must be a real worry for the likes of Rory Schlein who rely on UK speedway for their income Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heard from good source still going be 2 leagues with the addition of 2 or 3 national league teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By one combined league I mean a combination of Premier and most of the present Championship League in one, ie about 18 teams, and National League being the second.

Agree,but if that happens and there are 3 leagues can see the Premier being watered down farther.IMO if the Premier is going to be watered downI think 1 big league with North/ South split with Play-Off's to decide Overall Champs would be the way to go financially for the Clubs. We shall see. Edited September 21, 2018 by Fromafar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 21, 2018 Don't know what the Prem clubs did with the Sky money, but heard BT paid £3k per meeting. Probably less than the clubs loose in fans. Can't see anyone wanting to come up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
