The fixture gaps are a problem retaining fans it would go along way too resolving it.Take the 3 BSN + the extras for the teams that made the Semi’s and it not that big a problem + some teams didn’t even have fixtures in Oct. Also the fans turned in Oct for Finals so can’t complain about the cold nights.

So why are Poole, Berwick, Glasgow and Redcar been complaining all season about too many long gaps between fixtures then 

There is a minimum earning level you must show you can achieve to get certain tier level visas .. I presume that is why some riders get/need guarantees? (And double up?)... Before I retired one of my team needed to show he earned (if I remember correctly) £41k to stay in the country... It had increased since his last visa got granted... So I put up his hours and let him work each Sunday for premium time... I then printed and signed copies of his contract for him to send off to the Government depts ..

More foreign riders in teams than brits.

The whole country is virtually non British. I read where the birth rate here now is one in three born is British.

A question for anyone in the know. Is it reasonable to assume that with a much reduced premiership next year ( assuming of course). Is it possible that we may lose many top riders in the league as there will not be enough meetings for visa requirements? Just asking. Note: I asked this on the Ipswich thread.
