I think that there needs to be a meeting of promoters of both current league in June / July next year to discuss 2027. There's no point leaving it until after the season ends. If there are disagreements (which there obviously will be), there needs to be sufficient time to arrange follow up discussions and come to some compromise.  If there could be a big 'reveal' meeting (and try to get as much media involved as possible), it would be a good start to the new era.  ''Dormant' and potential new tracks can get involved, riders could make plans, supporters could consider season tickets as Christmas presents, media can get engaged.    

The time for preparing a good team is in the winter not once the season has started. As soon as they start losing at home they will inevitably change things as they do it every year to keep the happy clappers on board. 

Christmas eve announcement possibly?

Birmingham have struggled for a couple of years with crowd levels and limped from season to season, unable to attract quality riders and then lost their track. Not quite the same as the Ipswich situation is it?

You are correct in principle but the loss making company may keep people in jobs and or be a supplier or forward facing business of the profitable company. OR it could be an ego boosting business like a yacht charter company, football club or Speedway. It also allows a profitable company to sponsor a loss making sports club that in turn makes the sports club profitable too, ideal if you may wish to sell at some point. That's all legal of course 

My post just disappeared but that’s literally what I just put lol,looks like Workington are going to risk it with Cook and have a feeling they will announce him at Xmas I would of thought.
