Sounds like they must seriously have thought that TNT would renew, the writing was on the wall as soon as Eurosport was amalgamated within TNT, they'd already elected to not renew previously. At that point plans for the 2026 should have been made, at least a contingency plan to run with no TV contract.

That's the thing PL clubs have no assets, unless you count the tractors... and I can't see anybody wanting Ippo's tractor, the flashing light doesn't even work 😉😂

Will there be a British Speedway stand there?

Daft topic anyway... smh

Season to start on Easter Sunday? ✝️

Sounds like a drug cartel operation!

You would have hopped that they would have had some kind of contingency plan to immediately switch to in the likely event that the TV contract was not going to be renewed.

Bah! Humbug 😂

Haven't you heard... Christmas has been put back to March 😂

If Louis is pulling Ippo out of the PL and there is no additional mystery club, surely a PL with 4 teams is a non-starter in which case the 4 remaining clubs will either have to be accommodated in the CL, NDL or not at all.

... at the time of going to press

Maybe not if they've got to accommodate 4 more teams?

I agree... and as a Leicester fan I'd be more than happy to see us in the CL... the PL has failed

There's certainly a bit of fiddling going on!

No one club is bigger than the sport, if they're prepared to go with 5 they may as well go with 4 as either are just as farcical and Louis will soon find out that his club is worth the total amount of 5h1t all... like others that have tried to sell.

The people running (ruining) our sport really are quite impressive

I'm sure 'Arry will be at the forthcoming Speedway Show, pretty sure, almost... probably

Sounds like you're confusing it with this years Budget 😂

The GP series is here to stay, it's an opportunity to showcase Speedway around 10 times a year instead of once. Also monster are not as on-board as they used to be, they tend to sponsor riders these days rather than events or the series itself.

Definitely bad business, they'd be running in direct competition to the other promotion.

I think this is already happening from what Phil Morris let slip earlier in the year.

I'm sorry but there's not one fact in your post... it's all opinion. The only way we'll find out of it turns out to be fact is for that radical change to actually happen... and I very much doubt anything radical is going to happen.

@Barrow Boy 2 ?

I don't see any adverts... do you use an ad blocker?

The difference is, you know what time it's going to start and finish, you know (unless there are freak circumstances) that it's going to be on when you get there and you know who the player are lining up for both teams.
