Yes that may be the case. However, as we know from previous years they usually fudge some cock up together to try and make 2 leagues work!

Turkey's don't vote for Christmas and no one votes to abolish themselves.

Ahh that's good to know. I guess it's because I'm just seeing the you tube views on my tv.

I am quite surprised that the viewing figures are still really low for 360. I have mentioned to several people I know who go to speedway. All the pundits I think have given a great insight into the sport which can hopefully stop supporters or lay people from drawing their own conclusions. As I have said before as an Ipswich supporter the last few years have been absolutely fantastic but now the sport MUST come first and for my money it should have been one league.

I listen to 360 because people like Dean tell it like it is.

Can't help myself Ian, the powers that be have kicked the can so much that they must have ran out of road!

Plymouth v King's Lynn does Nicolai ride 2 for Plymouth and 2 for Lynn?

So you are fine with the lunatics taking over the asylum?

Unfortunately it's like administering CPR to the already dead patient!

Dunno Ian but whatever they are drinking must be a controlled substance!

One thing I can definitely say from a sales point of view if you like is that with any tv deal, the term ' subject to availability' really does a strong sense of meaning 😄

As many have said, one league could be done with 6 man teams and rookies at the bottom end of every team. As I've said before the hand will be forced I feel.

That wouldn't surprise me to be honest. There are a number of motorcycle dealers in the area that have always backed the club in many ways.

No need Dean, the people running British Speedway have been gambling for years!

At what point will the PL put out a begging bowl to the CL though? As the promoters still have a business to run?

Serious question here, given the clear impasse that the sport is at in this country. Could we have a scenario where nothing is agreed and everyone takes home their ball meaning no uk speedway in 2026?

Looking at the bigger picture Dean, if the hand is forced and we go one league could retired British riders be persuaded to race again if wages were competitive and costs kept down? Or is that wishful thinking?

Given the lack of available riders I suspect the hand has already been forced. Therefore, I suspect the points limit will drop dramatically, possibly below 35 given that in a 1 league scenario it's likely that teams will be bottom heavy with NDL riders and rookies.

Sounds like the Captain full speed ahead even though he knows the iceberg is ahead!

No it's not. It's like bubble and squeak. Chuck all the crap and leftovers together and fry them in a pan!

The ultimate one for me was Scott Nicholls riding for both sides in the ko cup final between Ipswich and Peterborough. That's why the sport has zero credibility.

I'm surprised more riders haven't stuck their heads above the parapit to voice their concerns (other than the ones that already have). I guess many if them are waiting on outcomes before they sign contracts. And by that I don't mean the GP riders. Will the for want of a better expression, the run of the mill riders already by looking for other jobs if the promoters cannot make up their minds? Thus potentially losing even more riders.

The doubling up disease started in 2003 with the ill fated British League Cup.

Does that include flying pigs as pre meeting entertainment?

Surely we should be encouraging the retired or quit riders out of retirement for the sports sake. But of course no one will take a punt on them will they.
