Let's just see how many riders are doubling up in both leagues before we get into anymore Premiership / Championship, better / worse discussions. Having witnessed first hand over the last 15 years my clubs involvement in all 3 leagues, and the televised Premiership meetings last year, I can honestly say the best racing has been in the Championship where the riders seem to be more evenly balanced in terms of average assessments. I think it was something like 55% of Premiership riders last year also had a place in the Championship. Having said that, I may be tempted to pop along to to the Abbey when Sheffield visit. Yes, a 4 hour round trip to see the one rider who put's bums on seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my points was that I can’t see many Swindon supporters being interested and time will tell if my opinion is correct or not. BTW Swindon were in the second tier for several years after being relegated not so long ago - and I enjoyed the racing in that league. So I am not sitting in any ivory tower with tinted glasses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
