I cant see the riders being available for any 'extra curricular' meetings, with all the meetings abroad. Id be surprised if they can manage to fit in the 3 home n 3 away

Bradford couldn't even get crowds of 1000 when they won the Elite league, how many will they get 28 years later?

I agree with you 100%. If there is to be one league then it has to be based on and only use riders that are available on whatever nights are mandated as race nights. I don’t like the idea of one league but if that is the only solution then at least ensure it has credibility.

I think one big league is absolutely inevitable  (unfortunately imo) However if/when it happens it has to just be what it is from what's available - no making up rules like letting some riders ride in home meetings only etc Something like that is more ridiculous than a 5 team league

Such a natural talent on a bike as well. 

Then you are not looking at it properly, you are only seeing a glass half empty approach
