Can't see how the PL csn run with only 5 teams unless it's already been agreed on some CL teams moving up. And with rumours of 2 CL under threat where would that leave the CL? Of course if Dixie says his job at Leicester isn't a problem then maybe Berwick are actually dropping down to NDL standard. Time fans were treated with more respect and told what was actually happening with the sport. I could be wrong, but I doubt Stewart will drop to an NDL standard team. It might be slightly below current CL standard and slightly above the current NDL standard mind (that's only a guess too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a rule book that's interpreted rather than followed, in fact I`d be surprised if all the team managers and promotions actually knew the rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if anyone does know the rule or regulation book it's Stewart Dickson so the Berwick Promotion have pulled an ace out hat there. Sadly I hoped Dixie may have come back to Glasgow so I just hope we don't have anothet season of The Photo Bomber at the helm. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to agree but can you imagine the benefits young lads would gain from having him around. Maybe that's what speedway needs - real mentors helping youngsters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time fans were treated with more respect and told what was actually happening with the sport. Fans will be told once everything is confirmed at the AGM like every sport ever. Why would they need to come out and tell you the league structure is going to be the same? Only fans have made the assumption that it would ever be one league. Pre-discussions are had every year and tend to determine the direction the sport is going. Do you think they all sit around until November to then find out what’s happening with their company?! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted October 9, 2023 If there is to be a middle tier, and I think there will be, Berwick will be in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Leon Flint looks for pastures new for 2024 and move on and up with his career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
