The class gap between the leagues is closing up drastically... rather than the two leagues being a Premiership and Championship its starting to look more like Championship and Championship Lite... Depending on how successful the Vaccine works will depend on what happens with the sport; there appears to be a lot of goodwill from the promotions to try and get things up and running and May 1st 2021 would seem a good starting point if the Vaccine Roll Out gets us somewhere near herd immunity; it would allow for behind closed doors Press and Practice sessions to be done in the March and April ready for a start in May but to be fair there are still a number of Ands; Ifs and Buts to conclude before we get a definite "Go" for speedway IMHO Regards THJ Poole have stated that they are committed to the Championship. With all the Polish interference I am happy with that decision!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,889 Posted January 13, 2021 My predictions are the outcome of the AGM will be: Season to start in February to squeeze all of the fixtures in 8 man teams to cover for injuries North and South split with the South division comprising of Somerset and Poole 42.50 points limit There will now be double double tactical substitute tactical rides. More info to follow in 8 months time. Purple helmet colour introduced. No teams other than Scunthorpe to ride on a Friday. Riders must socially distance at the starting tapes. And the finishing closing statement of “British Speedway is thriving and has never been in a better position due to the fantastic leadership of Chapman and now Lord General Godfrey. Let’s go racing.” Something like that anyway is what I’m expecting.... Anything different will hopefully be a bonus 1 1 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
