Hi, I've been away from speedway since Rye House closed. I recently attended a few meetings at Peterborough including the play off semi and Final. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a brief catch up as to what's happened in the last 8 years or so in British speedway? Why are there only 6 teams in the top tier? Is it worth running a league with so few teams in it? 4 out of 6 teams make the play offs and could all potentially "win the league". My son who is just about to turn 16 and hadnt been since he was about 6 found that concept laughable and more than a bit ridiculous. He absolutely loved the racing though, proving that the raw product is still awesome.
How did Poole end up back in the 2nd tier? They were the best supported team in the country!
How did it end up that the same riders are all riding in both of the top divisions regularly?
Massive shake up needed surely?
