By using guests and riders doubling up?..........nah not good for a proper pro sport is it?

Very immature boy

unfortunately not every team can be a winning team no matter what sport though. fans (me included) can be very fickle, so its down to the promoters to get people there even if there team isnt winning. 

And in the none GP/Poland's supremacy days attendances would be double those.....more teams in each UK division made for greater 'spectator variety' - and the public and media outlets loved the sport. One bigger league for 2026 can recapture some lost support.

Slowly but surely folk on this forum are beginning to understand (although not necessarily accept) that there are insufficient riders available to make one big league and that the amount of current riders doubling up to enable teams to exist is actually bad for the credibility of the sport.  Your post makes some good points and the suggestion to run less meetings could fit into a final solution.  However, as I and others elsewhere have said, one barrier to progress is the promoters themselves, who first and foremost take the view of “how does this effect me” rather than “will this help the sport” Take Poole for example a very well run and profitable club why, because they choose to be the big fish in a small pond with less outgoings on riders.  Unfortunately there is not the volume of riders with the same skill levels who make up the Poole team to replicate across the board especially considering the restrictions on race nights & doubling up etc.   I guess we have no choice but to wait and see what exciting news & changes the close season & Speedway Ventures brings forth. 

Owlerton is practically D shaped,no long straits there.
