And it could work if the rules are done correctly. For me, if a rider gets injured it's R/R and no guest. If 2 are injured then it's R/R and a guest from the Championship that has no team in the Premiership. That way there's no conflict of interest.

I'd go with something like: 1. H.Andersen 7.56 2. Palm Toft 5.65 3. Lawson 6.81 4. R.Worrall 5.81 5. Iversen 7.36 6. Wilson-Dean 5.22 7. Grondal 4.00 Ave: 42.41 Strength in depth and far easier to find replacements for injury. If you have a big hitting No1 like Doyle, replacements become impossible and promoters then look to remove 3 or 4 rider's to make things fit. As a return to the top flight a solid throughout approach gives a far greater scope to improve over the season.

Even on a 4, he'd be better than Bacon on a 3

No club should go anywhere near Sergeant. Costs teams so many points and cost clubs to much money on tapes

I'd have Grondal as your No7 on 3.36. Make far more sense if you want to have one of your experienced and regular rider's.

wasn't all 6 of those against Lakeside?

This is Premiership not Championship, Bacon or Lambert (as proved with King's Lynn) will not be good enough.

Come on Panthers fans, you really need to be thinking better than that

All Thursday tracks moved so Premiership can control that evening. Hopefully it can appease the Belle Vue fans a little one night before Friday. The whole of British Speedway needs this club to survive more than any other

Think Simon Lambert will be unemployed in 2019. Not good enough for what will be a strengthened top league. Not sure what Championship clubs would go near him either.

Might surprise a few but Keith Chapman gets a from me. See how it pans out in 2019 but it's an absolute must he makes changes to the AFA track for next year. King's Lynn deserves a better race track to watch actual racing rather than a gating competition.

It doesn't matter if the track licence is 3 or 23 years, if standards ain't kept up to SCB/BSPA requirements they have a right to terminate the licence regardless. I'm amazed when that MotoX track was installed the Speedway wasn't shut down immediately on health and safety.

Don't think you'll need to worry. With great sponsors maybe a deal has been done with the Tru7 Group. Ipswich sponsored by Tippers R Us Peterborough by Trucks R Us King's Lynn by Tru Plant

I can assure you that Cheryl is a fully grown adult

He makes a mint out of the Stadium use. He can afford it no problem.

How I understand it, in the Premiership they'll probably have a minimum assessed average of say 4.00 or 5.00 but the lowest actual average will be 3.00 instead of last season's 2.00

Great shame to see one of the better tracks in the top flight leave. Would just like to wish Somerset and all their fans all the best in the Championship in 2019

Absolutely correct but (and some Stars fans may fall off their chair) I think this may be a good move. If Buster was to buy up every Premiership and Championship club that would totally remove the self interest aspect of Speedway. This is one of the main catalyst for poor management and the decline of the sport. So while it is dictatorship, it may just be what's needed to drag the sport forward. So, as 1 of his biggest critics, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and see how this works out.

Good question. An even bigger question with fixed race night's, surely they have to make sure the home meetings don't clash each week

Welcome back to the top flight you no1 scumbags

Welcome back to the top flight you scumbags

I've said few times, the Championship should just be an extension of the National League, progress for our youth. Foreign rider's allowed but they must not be included in any top leagues i.e. Premiership, Ekstraliga, Liga 1, Metal League, Elitserien or Bundesliga.

Why's it clear that Peterborough and Ipswich are going Premiership? The stadium use at the showground is unreliable. The stadium owners cancel fixtures when someone else wants to use the grounds and willing to pay substantially more than the Speedway.

It seems your cautious approach may be correct. With Gaming International not bothering to attend you get a feeling they're wanting to sell all the land to the builders.
