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. 

The whole UK Speedway concept is "Donald Ducked".. Promoters want riders to spend ridiculous amounts on machinery so they have a chance to win competitions.. Competition's that they then so undermine with their very own ludicrous operating model, that hardly anyone outside such a small following even notices, and no major sponsor will get involved with, hence no major financial reward is forthcoming... With the riders, who have shelled out thousands and thousands of pounds on kit, now expecting (quite fairly), to get not only reimbursed but actually getting paid enough to be the full time professionals that the promoters expect them to be.. We have long said on here, it truly has been a year on year, vicious circle, race to the bottom... It looks like that race has finally reached its inevitable location,...  

I completely agree that's what they should do, however I'm not sure it'd be as easy as that. It wouldn't take many riders not to bother and you'd struggle to have a worthwhile sport to sell. As I said, the riders shouldn't be dictating the sport, but sadly it feels like we don't have much choice atm.

There have been very good and well meaning observations & suggestions on what should happen in 2026.  However, maybe we should speculate more on what we think the promoters will actually instigate in 2026.   For me, a move to two leagues (six teams in the top tier) with a dumbing down of both competitions by lowering the points limit and in doing so move the rising star concept to the lower tier.  Note: this is what I think the promoters will do, not what I think should happen  

The Premier League has been in crisis for years. Teams dropping out for one reason or another and needing to be replaced by some poor unsuspecting sap from the next League down. They go up and shortly after are gone. They cannot afford to be competative in the top Division. I wonder how many Championship Teams have gone up, gone bust, and are lost to the Sport? Had they stopped in the Championship, they may still be running concerns.
