All laudable aims.. However.. That ship has passed a long, long time ago.. Belle Vue are the only current team that hasn't dropped down into Div 2 in the last 20 years, showing that, there really is, and has been for years, nothing "aspirational" about the top flight... And how could there be when the majority of riders compete in both top leagues? It is now truly time for a 100% total reset, building from the bottom up, as "top down" hasn't enough at the "top" to be even a starter.. With the "positive" being so few attend Speedway, so you are pretty much starting again, and, surely, that means that the only way is up!!!? -

Unless they have convinced Nigel to give Northampton a go he's the only person in Speedway who could probably afford to drop 100k on it to get the sport through to 2027 when hopefully even the prem promoters will be forced to take a different direction. I did like the press release saying "a unique set of circumstances" when it should really have read "a dreadful state of circumstances" have to give them credit for trying to keep it going but they need to realise it just isn't working in the current state and a risk is going to have to be taken at some point to turn it around. -
Wasn't that Frank Smart? I remember that meeting well, think it was 2003. Frank Smart was chasing Stancl in the opener and Stancl pulled a huge locker and Smart avoided him and come down and was somehow excluded. Stancl went all meeting unbeaten and needed to win heat 15 for a Glasgow win but Wato and Puk got a 5-1 over him and won us the match. Great times. -

Absolute madness to have just 5 teams. £60k less income due to no tv deal. Will the sponsors be willing to pay the same amount for no national coverage ? four less fixtures than this season so less income into the club. Will fans pick and choose due to lack of variety?
