I believe that the television rights for football over the next few years are being announced next week?
I'm sure BT have given priority to this and the speedway deal will be revealed in good time (sometime after).
That doesn't mean Leicester couldn't retain the same team.......you are assuming the riders would remain at their current Championship teams, whereas they could choose to represent the Lions, and Nilsson might want to ride in the Championship!
The fact is, Leicester COULD retain the same team if they were relegated.
With respect, he's hardly a complete unknown. Anyone who follows speedway in Sweden will tell you what a talent he is. Remember that Tommy Jansson, Anders Michanek, Tony Rickardsson and Peter Karlsson were all "complete unknowns" at one time.
