Could still be the "Mother" of all 4 Team Tournaments ahead then? 12 meetings at home for each of the four teams.. Five riders per team, which includes a reserve.. With, to add variety, the teams change helmet colours meeting by meeting.. ie, over the first segment of four matches, the home teams start with Red, but by their fourth meeting at home, they are riding in Yellow, having gone through Blue and White in the second and third matches at their track... This means every team has equal gate positions over a 48 match season.. Sounds exciting I know, but, even better than that. The top four qualify for a Final held at every track... With the top team over the season starting the final with three points, second two and third with one.. Sounds good doesn't it? Loads of meeting for riders... Loads of exciting helmet colour changes for the fans to follow.. Three lots of away fans at each venue (maybe even double figure numbers attending from at least one of them), and possibly a taxi full from the other two tracks, (not a seven seater one obviously).. And, (and this is the winner for me), you can flog "Quarter n Quarter n Quarter n Quarter" scarves, so lots of merchandising opportunities.. Charge around thirty quid a ticket, running on those hotbed of entertainment nights of Monday and Thursday, plus, (most importantly of all of course, riders can still then double up), and, I think we can all agree, the sport would be on to a winning formula... Maybe they could get a betting company involved to sponsor the league and, every meeting, they could run a book on "Who will Bomber ride for tonight?".. It could be a bit like the Masked Singer, whereby he stands on the centre green in a Wulf Sport Jacket, and the crowd shout "Take It Off! Take It Off'!, and as the crowd reach fever pitch he unzips the jacket to reveal his kevlars... Imagine the scenes?..... Making Speedway Great Again.. Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy Christmas All... It’s a time for miracles so lets hope those in charge can come up with one now, and a few more over the next few seasons..

I was just thinking the same and say it quietly he rode for yes the team with the poor track before the Ford's were about.

You also said 'they all race at weekends' when Lynn also rode in midweek (stadium point accepted).
