Expectation levels by both riders and fans is the root of all the existing problems. Riders are asking ridiculous pay scales, making many of them unemployable even though they are the ones putting life and limbs at risk every time they ride. Fans are more often than not, expected to pay through the nose for sometimes second rate presented meetings and short entertainment value at embarrassingly long drawn out meetings. Forget league structure for a minute and take a long hard look at the factors above. Potentially a rider salary cap and a feasable entry fee at all tracks in each respective league.

I don't think there will be much changed. There will still be a 3 tier structure to the leagues weather thats good or bad remains to be seen, But if clubs from the top league of 2025 are stating they will not run in one big league then the ransom note has been sent. We can ilafford to loose two tracks. How it will survive without TV money to prop it up is unknown. I think the way forward is to involve the fanbase more, They have been dealt a poor hand for far to long. The Promoters must understand fans will no longer turn up just because it's there. We must get back to starting on time, First race prompt at 19:30 & when ever possible a second half. We should bring back the tactical substitute but make the difference 8 points before it can be used. Let the fans be the manager on the terraces whilst the real team manager has to earn their wage.

Congratulations Champ. I think I'll try a different course of action in 2026

Why go to Oxford when Leicester is closer and track is available for speedway 7 days/nights a week? If Northampton in top flight they could use Mondays & Thursdays to stage meetings for both clubs.

Main U24s would presumably be Flint, Rowe, Thompson, Edwards, Kemp and Gilkes.
