Would be nice to see some good support with a great atmosphere ! And I don’t mean a hostile or provocative won, more like a party / celebration with flags, tops, scarfs and just showing your support to whatever team you support 👊🏻 What are you allowed in Hydroscan arena? ex. In Foxhall isn’t allowed anything noisy due to the houses?😂

Not failing to recognise, I appreciate but don’t completely agree with your opinion and won’t be bombarded into changing my own to suit. We would lose riders, but 45 is extreme. Some would stay. The one league would of course only work with multiple race nights. That’s where there would need to be a work around, it absolutely means a lower standard sadly.  The up and comers may decide to go elsewhere when they reach a good standard. Or the promoters could do their job and in that time make Britain a more than viable option for them to stay and even for other riders to come race here.  Nobody truly wants the standard to drop, doing so for the long term future of having a sport to watch is the only reason I’d accept as a fan if communicated clearly. We’ve reached the point it has to happen. Clubs are falling like dominoes.  Two leagues with no doubling up calls for one or two existing Championship teams to step up and move to a race night they don’t want, rocking their boats massively and unnecessarily for the benefit of others. It also then makes the second tier incredibly weak with the left over riders. That’s bad for those businesses. How is that fair when the second tier isn’t the one killing clubs hand over fist. Cut your cloth accordingly and be punished with promotion.  To continue with doubling up (beyond between the “professional” and “development” leagues) just shows massive contempt for fans. It would be the ultimate middle finger, the band playing along happily as the Titanic sinks.  The sport is (or at least should be) a whole, the whole sport needs to share the burden of the mess it’s got itself into, not give an apathetic “what can we do there’s not enough riders?”   

No.

Yes but the homegrown will only earn enough dough to ride a moped! And punters won't pay 25 notes for the privilege. 

So do you not think Poole will want Vinnie back, if the numbers add up then ?

There are enough to make this kind of format work, and as you've responded elsewhere it doesn't mean you lose 48 riders who ride on the continent. It may mean you might see more guests or sides opting to run on a night which best suits the riders they've signed up  Nobody is going to run on a Sunday with anyone who rides in Poland but some clubs opting for Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays may have some wiggle room if fixtures allow with what the danish and swedish leagues are up to There are insufficient riders is an easy out, its not, it will allow for more opportunity for homegrown and perhaps riders from the commonwealth
