Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted February 5, 2022 Certainly hope there's no rule change this late in the day. Totally unfair on the rest of the league. Any big rule changes now shouldn't come in to effect until 2023 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in what could see an influx of riders returning to British shores. All because of Mark lemon and Adrian Smith. Any indication of what these potential changes involve?

Reading between the lines someone thinks that Poland will not be allowed to restrict what leagues riders under contract to them can ride in outside Poland. However if This is passed i can not see anything changing as Poland have all the muscle over the riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way I can see to get more riders in GB without rule changes is for the poles to accept the removal of the two teams only rule Edited February 5, 2022 by KIRKYLANE Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the sport needs to move towards a more professional approach where riders are with ONE club only, but I know that very few in the UK agree with me on that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree the sport needs to move towards one rider one club. That would allow for some form of European club championship to be set up. To allow that to happen then a massive drive on rider development is needed not only here but thought out all the current speedway nations. My other thought which I think has been over looked is the part & influence the new rights holder of the world championship will have. They are certainly looking to grow the sport not only in its current marketplaces but also outside of these. They need strong & professional domestic set ups for that to happen. Currently not too many of those around. Any thing that moves all league speedway towards the Polish model has got to be a good thing!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted February 6, 2022 Not enough money in UK speedway for the 1 rider 1 club rule, except at grass roots level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted February 6, 2022 As much as 1 club rider's sound good it's unsustainable. Even Sweden & Poland allow doubling up/down to an extent. All we should do here is stop double for rider's that have teams abroad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
