The most important thing is Peterborough are running and subject to the BSPA members acceptance of the new ownership Ged and Neil can make the best decisions for the club depending on the outcome of the league structure talks.

Would have thought that if there is a new owner/owners then they will be making the decisions. Given that the AGM only basically rubberstamps decisions already taken then Rathbone & Watson's role is surely as a club presence after being briefed rather than in a serious decision making capacity. I suppose the alleged deal could go 2010 style pear shaped over the AGM weekend which could leave them back making the decisions.

The rumours Buster Chapman as promoter and Rob Lyon as team manager appear to be getting stronger.

Oh and premiership speedway

Crump99- This year even among the promoters there has been lots of talks and views on how to move the sport forward in the UK some of which are quite radical. 

Some promotions want to strip the Championship back to cut costs so NL standard reserves and no top riders like Nick Morris,Craig Cook,Ricky Wells,Danny King,Scott Nicholls etc so number ones become your MPT,Garrity,Summers 

In the Premiership you have clubs that want no doubling up others want more. Some want more meetings others don’t 

So until it is agreed at the AGM what the league format is going to be and what other teams are going to be in the leagues some clubs are unsure which way to go. 

As I have explained previously Peterborough have issues over Sunday racing with stadium availability and rider availability too.

Are you allowed to promote/own two teams in the same league?

Any rule can be amended at the upcoming BSPA Conference. ;)

Sounds a bit like Brexit and a right dogs'. The cry for a people's vote will start on Monday after the "best AGM ever to take the sport forward until Christmas" statement. The sport has needed stability for years without the annual carnage of the AGM but we're allegedly going radical once again :o

Top flight racing at the showground on a week night is a recipe for disaster. It never worked before, when the sport was in a lot healthier state.

Agreed. Mid week didn't work in second tier either
