They are now in a position where they have to ensure that either Ipswich or Northampton run otherwise the league will collapse  My guess is Northampton is being worked on as the backup option if Ipswich can't however I expect someone somehow will run Ipswich in 26

Spot on !  my worry is that the strategy for SFL is to find a wealthy fool and in exchange for his or her money we will change the sport to their wishes    surely put a credible two league structure in place with promotion and relegation.  Play offs to decide who gets promoted in championship. And play offs in premiership to decide who gets relegated.  who comes top wins the league in both divisions.  begin to phase out doubling up by only allowing riders who are living in the uk to double up.  once you achieve this you can then get tv interested again with lots of meaningful fixtures 

I would imagine the cost for any prospective promoter would be prohibitive, of course some contributors on here are far better qualified to judge then me. Just can't see it happening in all honesty but If they do push it over the line then fair play.

Fall back position if no deal can be agreed A BSPL "lease" off Louis for a season to ensure 5 teams?

I think by some method Ipswich will run The Northampton thing looks too much to do in to short a time to happen to me unless they do run the team from Oxfud/elsewhere in the meantime
