I can remember going down to Ippo not so long ago for a lynn derby that pulled in over 5k, no days anything scraping over a thousand people is considered bumper.

thats why l like to be at the meetings i can look at what i want when i want, 😎

Its super difficult but how much longer can the current ever worsening status quo limp on ? if we assume Brum are gone, Oxford just do champ, nobody with any financial sense wants to move up, if Sheffield and Leicester did stop running that leaves Lynn, Belle Vue and Ippo to drop down given two are reasonably wealthy clubs by Speedway standards could three more clubs be fitted into the championship and premier league is done. 

I cannot see how one league can work at the moment as I suspect to keep club like Poole happy it would run on most nights. If this was the case then riders who ride in Poland and I'm not taking about the stars like Doyle, Kurtz, Bewley, Fricke, Holder etc, buy secondary riders like Pickering, Masters, Lawson, Douglas etc would find it almost impossible to rider in the UK. So the alternative is to have fixed race nights but then the issue is clubs like Poole will not like that. So is the realistic proposition Monday Wednesday and Thursday as UK club nights. Obviously it means that you loose some riders who are contracted to rider in Denmark but then with this how happy are Friday and weekend clubs going to be. Maybe the solution is to have two divisions. Prem and Champ only. The Prem anything goes and you have a minimum points limit to build above, then the champ would be at a slightly lower level than this season as the reserve berths would be filled by NDL standard riders like Tom Spencer.

I would fancy my chances if I was Plymouth, a lot will depend on the guest whomever that may be and the reserves for Berwick. The Cook signing had disaster written all over it from day one and those that hailed it as the best thing to ever happen have certainly got a dose of reality now.

Another reason regarding Admission prices is paying over the odds to meet mediocre riders demands.
