No wind up, that’s it, TOTAL, TV money died with Sky.

Looking at this years Prem teams out of the seven teams there is only one rider J Thompson who does not either double up or rides overseas. So if you look at 5 Prem teams joining the Champ league to form one big league you might get the odd few who ride overseas that might stay even if they do you are around 30 riders short. So what does that mean. These riders will have to be replaced with possibly a few lower order overseas riders but the majority will be replaced by lower order National league riders. This also means that 5 teams need 15 more heat leaders between them. The only place the majority of these riders can come from is the existing heat leaders and the better second strings in the league being shared out. To be replaced in the teams by the new lower order national league riders making the league a very much weaker product than it is now. Now i am not choosing a side but putting out the options that i can see happening with the riders available. So if the above happens will fans be happy with a very much weakened product.

That I agree with, When we're down to 10 Teams. Imo it's not the time to do it when we've got 14 Teams as well as a couple of potential returns in the near future when it comes to Northampton and Peterborough whether that's in 2026 or 2027. British Speedway is on a downward slope granted, But it's still got a lot of fight left in it.

I wonder what the costs/benefits/usefulness/viability is of making BSN available on a linear network (Sky/Virgin Media) would be, maybe in conjunction with a betting company. Similar to Racing TV

It’s just the 25% reduction, they don’t get a further 2.5% off.  See Toms average at the end of 2022 compared to his start in 2023.  https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/p22_issue_final-1.pdf https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/p23_issue_1.pdf

Nothing will come of the demolition of Perry barr, it will just be swept away just like the crooked house (not to be confused with ACU house)  corruption pays in this world unfortunately
