Quite simply. You cannot create an 8 team PL if (a) no CL Club is prepared to be used as cannon fodder to enable Coleman / Lemon and Morris to create an 8 team PL just to get a few morcels of TV money and (b) it's the height of utter hypocrisy to try to parachute a returning Club, which is the case of Eastbourne (but could be many other examples like Birmingham Brummies!) has relied totally on the financial support of the Dugard family Business for over 80% of existence to bale it out year on year and destroyed within 3-4 years a handful of other outside investors who over many decades in the past have pumped endless sums of money in with good but utterly misguided intent to try to make it pay for a wonderfully loyal group of 600-800 regulars! By following (a) or (b) you are in fact diluting the very product that Coleman / Morris / Lemon are desperately trying to "big up" as a TV product and if that isn't ego driven, I don't know what is. In fact if you are a TV executive looking for an exciting meaningful nationally based product that is competitive and happy to be highlights only with occasional LIVE TV , then the Championship would actually be far more appealing and credible. A newcomer watching on TV would be far more interested in close competitive action staffed mostly by UK riders and not names they can't pronounce nor have heard of from various parts of the globe. The PL is what it is, a 6 team Division trying to live way beyond it's means and desperate to destroy the better product which is the CL.  

They might be in next seasons GP but neither of them are good enough to be a 1 or 5 in (as crap as it is) the top flight UK league.

Could be Tungate and Janowski.

Considering it was arranged at short notice and was on a 'school night', the crowd was far bigger than I expected. I think a lot of people made the extra effort to support it in the hope that it would lead to more meetings there next season, and others went just in case it was the last chance !! The biggest problem for stock cars going forwards is going to be pit space. Although the power company that have leased the land are yet to start using it, I am led to believe that they flatly refused to let 'their land' be used by the stock cars, so the promoters had to limit the number of cars that could race and even then it was a tight squeeze and far from ideal. One suggestion I have heard is that as it is no longer deemed safe for spectators, the back straight terracing could be demolished and that area flattened off for stock car pits.
