No......you've got Adam Ellis a 3rd HL in the PL, 4 x PL reserves in Worrall, Allen, Nicol and Kurtz and 1 rider that isn't anywhere near PL standard in Gilkes. I'm not sure if you're a troll or one of the idiots that thinks all is well with CL speedway in the UK, but the F***wits that keep on about all we need is 4 blokes going round in circles is the reason the sports on its knees in this country.

No-one is under any illusion that CL is thriving but if you somehow think that because you’ve got the odd better rider that the PL with seven (soon to be six) sides is entertaining and the future of the sport in Britain then you’re delusional. Speedway needs to cut its cloth and doing so at CL level is easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans are fed up with the ever increasing gaps in the fixtures which will not get better. The fans have no problem with dropping down. Regular fixtures a northern tour two local derbies and still see the majority of riders who ride in the so called top league. No brainer really. The powers that be ballsed up the knockout cup by calling it the suppoters cup, what buffoon came up with that birdbrained idea. How to kill a good competition stone dead. Sorry to break the news to you, but there is less fixtures in the 2nd division than there is in the top tier in its current form.

ASpeedwayfan 30 Posted October 21, 2019 So Chris Harris and Jake Allen already snapped up. Huge shame because they are 2 of the very few riders I'd of wanted if we are in the championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1.6 conversion rate makes it impossible for Poole to take 7 point PL riders down to the CL so they should be signing the best CL riders now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top division has 24 matches The second tier has 20 How do you explain that by dropping down you will have 'regular fixtures'??? Granted you will not see the same team twice ......but you will have less fixtures not more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
