I not sure how anyone in the sport can argue against some kind of rising star scheme in the Championship. And while we're at it let's sort out the NDL. Riders who have been around since before my grown up kids were born, riding in a development league is simply nonsense. -
LOL! Another one who can't handle the truth in a debate to a point where he has to result to being a naughty boy. You know full well by now that I'm not afraid to speak the truth when challenged. Must admit, It's kind of fitting how this years tin pot silverware is going to a tin pot fan base that only turns up when a trophy is on the centre green. Must be a Mancunian thing I guess considering their recent track record when it comes to local sports clubs.

I think you are right where are the riders going to come from? For me if speedway is to make a return to Arlington then maybe the powers that be should grant it an open licence to opereate in open meetings and challange matches with a team made up of riders from other teams on a day they are not racing for them (ie Sundays) This system worked for years at Rye House and was well supported by regular fans and racers alike. Everyone talks about what league they should enter if a return should happen but lets be honest no one knows what format the current leagues will look like from one year to the next let alone who will ride in them. The powers that be and possible promoters have to look at the teams that currently run under the NORA banner and maybe accept change is needed, 15 heats of 500cc racing is not the be all and end all of speedway these days an organised afternoon / evening of various racing is more likely to hold peoples interest every couple of weeks rather than "thats your 15 heats now bugger off and we will see you in a couple of weeks or maybe even a month for some more racing. Just my thoughts and maybe the wrong thoughts for many but I think unless things change in this sport Arlington could reopen for a two month or so season each year because there is no one left to race against.

Last seasons league was so successful the sport couldn't even get a decent TV deal for this season off the back of it.... Now The Aces are back on top this year, it looks like even ITV want to get involved again!!!!
