    Yes, the BSPL would rescind the track licences of Birmingham and Oxford and put them "on ice"

    I will watch to see what help Oxford and Birmingham receive from the other promoters.

     

    How could that  do that to Oxford ....will there be help to fulfil all rider places at all tracks....

    Could Oxford be racing in both prem and champ next season. 
     

    that’s the plan, big week ahead 

    One thing championship and NDL but Prem and CL ! 

    I would have thought the costs would be too prohibitive plus getting the fans to attend in numbers twice a week is a big ask but who knows ?

    I think James might have given it away a bit when he said he may be required to take up a mechanic role in the pits next year instead of doing the team manager role. i.e someone coming back to ride in the UK who doesn't have a mechanic over here. Rene Bach?

    Rene also hasn't re-signed in Poland as of yet

    I personally would like to see Rene back but can’t see it happening , more chance of Vissing or Jorgensen I would say.

    On the whole the 2023 season has been a  success in the NDL and an enjoyable experience watching the lads home and away.

    I think the move to the Championship has been to a degree forced on the promotion with the potential demise of the NDL  and the lack of teams in the other Leagues .

    I can only hope the increased costs to the management and fans in the Championship do not harm the clubs future , with rider costs and entry fee of around £20 in the Championship in 2023.

    It will need a good support from sponsors fans and volunteers to make the club succeed in the future .

    Just to add to this with some geeky calculations too, based on a minimum wage worker.

    In 2018, you’d have to work 2.04 hours (£7.83ph) to get into speedway.

    If it’s £20 in 2024, you’d have to work 1.92 hours (£10.42ph) to get in.

    I know there’s a lot of other life costs increased also, not least interest rates. But it gives a slight perspective on entrance fee increases.

    Many Pensioners at Worky though!:D
