Maybe the current championship teams will resist that and if necessary form their own league under a different authority if required?

Not a chance CVS would be interested. You could try Peter Adams but I'd be surprised if he were interested

His mechanic

Like who? Maybe if the BSPL agreed to underwrite the stadium costs in the event of a default

Or maybe a former promoting colleague of Busty's.....

Then eventually the whole thing will go broke so the choices are Overpay and go broke Pay what you can afford and reset the whole sport on a semi professional basis if that what it takes. It might not work but it's much better than going skint

If admission prices turn out to be too high payments to riders will have to reduce wether they like it or not

As the current custodian of a famous sports club he certainly owes the fans of Ipswich an explanation however I'm guessing that he feels the next step is that there should be some sort of statement from the BSPL regarding 26 which I understand. Hopefully after that he'll give his reasons to the Witches fans

The thing is its a sports club not just a business, there are thousands of fans in Ipswich so he owes them some sort of explanation at some point

Wanting to persist with a "model" that has caused several tracks to lose very significant amounts of money in the last few seasons is absolutely mad even if your own track is in reasonable shape They were always going to run out of road at some point

I wouldn't be too sure about Leicester.....

I thought the stadium was privately owned but leased to Spedeworth who sublet to the Witches?

Buying is probably a stretch as Sheffield presumably are finding out Maybe someone would rent it from Louis

He is the person with significant control according to Companies House with over 75% of the shares

Tolley? He's been linked everywhere else

More than 25% less than 50% according to Co House

I think the idea that they would run in the PL and also then "divvy up" 20% of the losses of a 6th club is absolute madness. Maybe new owners might see that proposition differently but....

The only rumour I've heard of late is the one posted on the Ipswich thread There have been quite a few before that but nothing that has proven to be true.....yet

He'd answer Barry Briggs to every question

I think the 2 clubs that would consider this are pretty obvious but where would that leave the gang of 3?

One thing is clear if Prem clubs won't/can't sign anyone until January then the riders will have finalised all their Polish/Swedish/Danish deals I wonder if that might mean a few not chosing UK?

Indeed. I remember the Arena Essex crew making noises about the demolition of the Raceway Tavern being unauthorised or such like, never heard another word about it subsequently

I remember a couple of years ago there was a lot of adverse comment about the quality of the Racing tv stuff especially when compared with Sky Racing. Not sure if it's been addressed since and I've no idea how the BSN coverage would across on these platforms. I think it's a good idea

A fair point but Jaguar LR have their hands full with their data issues currently you'd imagine There's been speedway in the Birmingham/Coventry area for a long time and they've never been involved afaik and presumably they've been asked....

The question for me is can Sheffield and Leicester afford expensive teams without any tv revenue? We know Ippo, BV and Lynn can if they so choose
