If it's one "medium" league, then I'm sure riders would want to renegotiate their contracts. Pickering may have asked for a amount based on scoring 13 points a match. If one league is stronger, he'd likely ask for more, if one league was weaker, Scunny may want to offer less.

Danny King in this weeks Speedway Star says he's "happy with two teams & two Leagues in the UK"  

That would be the saviour option that pleases all parties. What's the whisper as nothing has done the rounds on here other than Northampton running at Oxford?

D a 6th team not mentioned brought back ?

I just don't see any other option at this moment in time. If a CHAMP Team doesn't step up then we could see multiple PREM Teams not running at all in 2026 and the Sport can't have a that. Ultimatum to Glasgow -> PREM Speedway for 1 Year with Financial guarantees of any losses being covered whilst allowing them to compete in a Cross Border Trophy Tourny with Berwick and Edinburgh. Glasgow can put together a 1-7 within CHAMP rules for the Cross Border Trophy Tourny meetings. After 2026 sack the PREM off altogether and do One Big League in 2027 with 5 Man Teams.

Are you implying it could be one league, as there are no other teams rumoured to be entering the league? If so, that is major as teams may have to address their team building, admission prices, and season ticket sales, etc.. Surely that would instigate an emergency promotors meeting, not a delay until January..
