It is financially viable for Glasgow to move up, They just refuse to do it. Championship is a League set up for clubs like Plymouth who operate on a very tight budget. Championship isn't a League that was set up for clubs like Glasgow who try and sign as many HL's as the rules allow them too whilst leaving lower end Championship clubs to scrap around for No.1's and No.5's, They're called money bags Glasgow for a reason, Signing riders like Tarasenko and Nagel at Championship level proves that. Let Glasgow have the Berwick and Edinburgh meetings still as challenge meetings on the side of Premiership and Premiership KO Cup meetings. Everything about Glasgow is Premiership level, Glasgow competing in the Championship is the equivalent of Chelsea FC competing in the Europa Conference League last season imo.

How times have changed. In my first years of watching speedway, ALL the riders wore black leathers with the exception of Nigel Boocock (blue) Mike Broadbank and Greg Kentwell (red) and Alan Cowland (white). It seems amazing to me now that, when any of those riders were in town, it raised the excitement level and was an added attraction in itself! Like others have said, I enjoyed seeing the spread of individual designs and it made riders instantly identifiable but, when the Pirates opted out of team suits in 2018, I realised how much I now prefer the matching strip. -
If you are giving up Poland would that not suggest Championship? Thought I had seen something on here about him and Glasgow talking last year when Worrall was ill.

Not wanting to move up because it isn’t financially viable isn’t sense of entitlement, it’s sensible. The overall standard of the sport here has dropped. The GP riders and Sayfutdinovs in the Premiership only mask the fact that the rest of the riders are Championship standard at best. That’s why they are racing in both leagues (that and the suggestion they’re owed a living from the sport so should be allowed to race for multiple teams in Britain). The sport here can’t justify the level it tries and wants to present. The fact that landlords want their rent so admission prices will only rise regardless of what’s on show doesn’t help. This spiral will only continue. There’s no overnight fix. Those running the sport need to publicly acknowledge that and put a long term plan in place. Smoke and mirrors breeds rumours and discontent. Tell the fans what is happening and why and most of them will be a lot more understanding.
