Riders need to guest as well as double up too, don't forget.   The only reason two leagues exist is because they need it to, remember.. Heaven forbid they have to get a job outside speedway, like so many did for the majority of the decades when the sport was popular...

Think that was agreed in August.....

But all the Championship promoters are giving them a standing ovation because without this they were F@cked

With only five teams their will be many riders either without a team place of opting out racing in this country.  Why not allow these riders to be put on a 'guest list' - from which Promotors can only pick cover for injuries rather than allowing riders from other teams to guest.  This would allow Supporters to see different riders rather than track specialists.

Will it bollox, Phil... Even Six teams in a "Top League" of a "National Sport" will look exactly like it looks... ie. A waste of time, and a waste of yet another year that could have seen some sense, and forward  planning brought to the sport.. All this will do is reduce crowds further... But. At least riders can double up... So. That's got to be worth paying around thirty quid next year to watch them do it..

If so will that change the position re the sale of Ipswich The reason for sale was given, at least in part, to not being prepared to race in a 5 team Premiership  If it is 5 not including Ipswich could it prompt a U turn from Chris?? I'm not convinced that's going to happen Still more questions than answers at this stage
