  1. Exactly what I mean about learning a thing or two from Chris Louis. The man does everything right.
  2. Of course they care, Just some promoters don't make an effort to promote their business. They can learn a thing or two from how Chris Louis runs Ipswich.
  3. British Speedway, The only sport in the UK where.... Lower League Clubs try and dictate the future of the Big League Clubs. Lower League Clubs try and take Money out of Riders Pockets by putting them out of a job at PREM level. Lower League Clubs try and takeaway from the Fans by replacing Top Quality On Track Battles like Brady Kurtz v Jason Doyle or Dan Bewley v Max Fricke and replacing them with Paul Starke v Simon Lambert or Jack Smith v Alfie Bowtell.
  4. Exactly my point when I've said British Speedway doesn't revolve around Poole's Wednesday Nights.
  5. It would just be a point blank refusal to put British Speedway first imo. They wouldn't have an excuse about losing money by running on Monday's and Thursday's as they'd have a written agreement that guarantees any financial losses to be covered in full.
  6. Even if Poole had a written agreement that guaranteed any financial losses to be covered in full they'd still kick up a fuss about Wednesday's.
  7. Some Fans are advocates for PREM clubs to be asset stripped and forced into mediocrity in 1 big League. I'm an advocate for a Two Tier Structure that see's Glasgow and Poole being told.....No more. Either way none of us can criticise each other's opinions / views without being a hypocrite as we're all calling for a Club or Clubs to be forced into something they don't want to do.
  8. I think the PREM being branded a failure is a myth tbh. Imo the only reason why it's struggled for the last few years is because of the ridiculous 1-2 Year solutions that the AGM has thrown up because they refuse to do what's right in order to get a stable PREM. We've seen various solutions like some of the following just for example.... 1. Birmingham in the PREM when they couldn't even keep their trousers up in the CHAMP. 2. Oxford being allowed to try and commit finanical suicide by running in all 3 Tiers of British Speedway. 3. Rumoured 2026 solution of having a consortium purchase Northampton and run PREM Speedway at Oxford which is the equivalent of a consortium buying Manchester United off the Glazers and then playing every home game at Nottingham Forest's City Ground. Nobody can be blamed for club closures due to circumstances outside of Speedway like Peterborough, Wolverhampton etc.
  9. You're trolling right? You can't honestly be serious.
  10. The higher ups have to think about certain CHAMP Clubs if they propose One Big League and the impact it'll have on them. How will they cope with the extra financial costs once Rider demands double as the Riders will have Bills and Mortgage's to pay whilst having youg families to feed amongst other expenditures. Other factors like Stadium rent costs have to be considerd as they won't drop in value because in today's world, Everything just goes up in price. Lowering admission fee's has been suggested but how can they possibly do that when they've got to cover the extra financial outlay? So many factors to think about here that aren't currently being discussed.
  11. I'm not infurated mate, I just think it's time for change. Multiple BSF members are calling for PREM Clubs to be forced down into 1 Big League and that's fine because it's their opinion and I respect it even though I disagree. I'm just countering that opinion with an opinion of my own that results in the boot being on the other foot in forcing top end CHAMP Clubs to move up. At the end of the day both arguments lead to Clubs being forced into a situation that they don't want to be in.
  12. Sorry Keith but the Sport doesn't revolve around Glasgow's Scottish Derbies and Poole's Wednesday Race Night's. It's about time The Ford's and The Facenna's were told that, Instead of being pampered every winter at the AGM by getting everything they ask for due to Mates rates. The Sport should always be prioritised and a Two Tier Structure is what's best for the Sport and the Riders themselves.
  13. It was a rumour on here, Either way it's just a pipe dream that's got no chance of happening imo.
  14. Say we do go down the one Big League route, It's not going to be all rosey like most fans think. It will throw up some serious issues that are currently being swept under the carpet. 1. Rider demands will be doubled so Championship clubs will have to spend double the amount of money that they currently spend on the HL D/UP's CHAMP Clubs don't want to run in the PREM because of the extra costs but the extra financial costs will land on their doorstep anyway if they want to keep hold of Richard Lawson, Chris Harris and co. in 1 Big League. 2. The One Rider Over 8.00 Rule for Championship Clubs in 2026 was being bought in to level the League out. How's that going to work out with 14 Teams instead of 9? When we won't even have 14 No.1's to pick from? It'll just result in an unbalanced League with some severly weakend Teams. 3. High probability of riders retiring once they have to get regular jobs outside of Speedway, Will they run the risk of getting injured as part of a hobby that could have consequences when it comes to a regular paying job outside of Speedway?
