The EWR is a racers track with plenty of lines and loads of passing, Poole is not!   I await the dirge from Poole supporters😁😁😁

If we do get 8 teams, then how many fixtures will it be.  Home and away twice? Home and away once with a "league cup", with two divisions of four each, or just once home and away. I'm asking as over the years, the number of matches has already reduced considerably.

Exactly the sort of mindset Coleman & Lemon are up against…..no idea about how the modern sporting world works & what today’s consumers want. As Coleman said they can all argue about the time line but the current path leads to extinction of the sport.

Hopefully! Even with some kind of safety net so that if it doesn’t work out, they lose too much money or the crowds suffer because of the loss of local derbies etc etc, then give them those assurances that they can drop again similar to Oxford. At least give it a ‘kin go! The set up there is tailor-made for top flight Speedway.

is there any truth about glasgow going up ?

100%, and that will be the objective of Richard Coleman and the rest of the top tier.. Make it a "serious sport"... Hopefully there are enough who want to run it as such... For the rest then the current last several years of 100's of adhoc septets turning up will be fine... But you don't try and sell that division to the TV or potential major sponsors.. It will interesting to see how they make their intended clear demarcation between the leagues...
