Wouldn't necessarily if it was in three seperate competitions, the fixtures would be much closer than that. Personally I go to see my team race, not particularly fussed who its against although of course a league of five or six is far from ideal. Two leagues of eight has been mentioned for 2027 and that would be a far better situation.

But if said persons missed 4 meetings £25 each 2 people so £200 lost, multiply that by saying 50 couples that a potential loss of £10k that's on top of normal losses for each meeting. Then potential sponsors won't come on board due to lack of TV. Sorry to say this but speedway is more fooked than usual 

But worky in a league of nine teams, if they raced the teams twice, would mean 10 weeks apart, but in premiership the team comes around again in 5 weeks then again in another 5 weeks time, too often imo

Not quite the same though is it Phil, you know in your heart this premier league of 5 or even 6 is not enough and just for this year at least it should of been made to work as one big league 

I bet them same stay aways would attend every GP with the same 15 riders 

I'm just thinking back to the points limit setting for the 2025 season, where if I'm reading correctly between the lines, there was a division between those wanting 40 and those wanting 39. In one corner was i think Birmingham plus another/s, in the other was Ipswich plus other/s. And the 40 limit was greatly advantageous for Ipswich, as it allowed them to have Brennan and keep the rest of the side mostly intact, and strong.  So it would appear that Louis got his way, there, along with others, perhaps at the expense of others and maybe at the expense of a more competitive league? However, I do accept what a huge favour he did the league and for the sport in the UK by bringing Sayfutdinov here, especially in his first two seasons when Emil would have put extra numbers on attendances everywhere, and I understand how much hard work he put in to make that happen
