Would you rather I used pictures next time? And 5 clubs telling 9 clubs we're are all having a league with only 8 teams and only on the nights we want you to ride and we're having 5 of the 8 spots is the same staggering arrogance that caused your Premiership to get to the brink of failure in the first place

In the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset, named after the guy who started the famous maintenace manuals, there used to be a 'speedway room', packed with speeedway exhibits. This would have been around 10 years or so back, infuriatingly I can't find my pics right now, but there were race bibs, bikes, pictures, a looping history video, etc. Don't appear to be there anymore on the website the website you need to download the map to view but it was situated in area named 'Motorcycle Mezzanine'. Yes, pretty much right at the back. https://www.haynesmuseum.org/the-museum/ Time was short so sadly we coudn't hang around, but the girl on reception was amazed when I asked "where the speedway was at ?" as, I didn't have a lot of time. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when I walked past 20mins later saying "that's all I came to see, must dash". I mean who wants to spend hours viewing IOM TT bikes, F1 cars, rally cars, a room full of Ferraris, etc after speedway anyway 😉. Well, I did actually, but oh well..... -

Glass half full and all that, there is always a way if you really want something -
Not enough riders will be available to make one league unless of course the joke of doubling up is allowed to expand to allow riders to ride for two teams in the same division week in week out. Remember one league equals eight teams unless of course the totally ministering 6 man teams is adopted as the first ring of the UK death bells.

Wouldn't be a vote as their won't be 14 Riders on 8+ GSA's to share around anyway so some teams will have to go without. That still doesn't protect CHAMP Clubs when it comes to Riders like Jake Mulford, Jordan Jenkins, Jason Edwards and co. as they're all on nice GSA's for the PREM Clubs like Belle Vue and Ipswich.

This is one hell of a post length wise - but please realign you’re thinking cap and recognise one league means that there will be only eight teams, who will have to ride on Mondays & Thursdays. Start your thinking there and decide which clubs will make the cut! BTW To save you further contemplating “what about the other clubs” the answer is part time development league (maybe individual meetings featuring top flight riders) or close.
