Glasgow should be in the Premier League after that win in 2023. Fans from Berwick, Edinburgh and Workington will likely travel, (in more collective numbers than they do now for away matches at Glasgow), just to see Premiership speedway with big name riders. I am not buying the 'but we lose the derby' nonsense, (there is about 5 of them visit anyway). A bit of marketing effort if we were to recruit a top flight Polish rider would bring in Polish fans from across Glasgow, there are many speedway fans that do not attend Ashfield but watch the Ekstraliga.....I know this for a fact. The whole points limit thing goes, away, we could have retained Basso, Tarasenko for example. And why can we not race on a Monday or a Thursday?, I just do not get that logic that we need to race on a Friday night...........I mean the difference between watching Sayfutinov on a Monday or a Thursday vs. watching what we currently watch on Friday is surely worth rearranging the set in stone date you get your perm done? True speedway fans will travel anywhere to watch speedway no matter how far..........and I dare say the casual fan or any new target audience types probably already have better things to do on a Friday night.

Don't know how feasible Glasgow going up would be. Closest away track would be Belle Vue while there are 4 tracks in the championship closer meaning probably less travelling support. Also having to race on a Monday/Thursday may cut down on some home fans. Can the draw of the big riders offset less travelling away fans. And there will be increased rider costs on top. You'd also lose the Scottish derby. You might have some Edinburgh fans coming over but it'd be a big gamble.
