So are you saying those same riders who will fill the places of the absent GP and others won’t ride in the Championship as they do now? 

Just propping this up again. You can clearly see that the Numbers don't add up when it comes to Heat Leaders. The only way you can ease the Heat Leader Rider shortage for 1 Year in 1 Big League is by running all fixtures on a MON & THU Night that'll see us keep Riders like Ryan Douglas, Niels-Kristian Iversen and co. However running Fixtures on a MON & THU Night doesn't favour CHAMP Clubs when the vast majority of them like to run on FRI & SAT Night's. Therefore the only real solution here......Is a sacrificial lamb being used to prop up the PREM and if nothing happens on the Northampton/Peterborough front then it'll be a CHAMP Club being forced up. The Promoters and the BSPL simply don't have any other choice on the table due to Heat Leader Rider shortage.

Maybe another provincial league to be formed.

CHAMP Clubs are heavily reliant on the Best of British being the backbone of their 1-7's for a wage that suits all parties. They'll be taken away from them as the PREM Teams will need replacements for GP & Ekstraliga Riders. Riders will just sign for the PREM Teams for the bigger money contracts that they were already going to get at PREM level. No Team Building Rules or Grading System can stop the inevitable as their simply isn't enough Heat Leaders to go round in a 14 Team League whether you run 5 Man Teams or 7 Man Teams. Not even enough Riders on 6.00 - 6.99 GSA's for 1 Per a Team let alone No.1's on 8+ GSA's.

They are desperate so wouldn’t put anything past them 

100% agree - there is no way to force any club to move up even if it would potentially be in the best interests of the sport There is simply no way you can expect clubs like Poole and Glasgow to take on the financial risk of a switch even though both would be ideal top flight set ups The sad fact is that there is simply not the required financial incentive to be at the top level and unless/until that changes the current struggle will continue
