The Stars now have the perfect opportunity to make a change in the team and be ruthless if they want to make an end of season play-off push. Lawson could be replaced by an 8.00 rider and still come under the 40-point limit without a second change being required.

Im not saying it’s even remotely realistic, but if Rob has any play-off ambitions then we need an out-and-out No. 1 to try and mitigate what happened on Thursday and last night. In our 8 away meetings this season, we have conceded 5-1’s in 6/8 heat 13’s and 5/8 in heat 15…

If a change was to occur and that is a massive if,as there doesn't appear to be a No1 willing to come over.Does it happen now or when the new month begins.Looking at the averages Niels will move to No1 in July if the new average includes last night's scores,with Klindt going to reserve.

You keep saying this but who are they going to get who hasn't been asked already?

Think Play-Off Bob will return to Britain full time next season now that he's best chance of being World Champion has passed.

Fell off a cliff in the GP's this year due to riding too many carpet rugs that don't require throttle control.

Hardly a coincidence that riders who are high up in the GP standings behind Zmarzlik all ride in Britain or in Lindgren's case has years of experience on rougher / tougher British tracks.

When Sheffield presumably asked the season had just started, so no surprise they didn’t get any takers.

You can understand why no one wants to touch Oxford and Birmingham, with both having no Prem team next season. 

I think now might be the right time where you can twist someone’s arm. We’re over halfway through the GP calendar, people will have capacity in their diaries for the UK - if someone chucks enough at it.

Different play off system in Poland this season.

Extra meetings for all teams, up to 20 for some.

No one is going to be signing in the UK when their team could get relegated etc

With all the rumours flying about, god knows what format the top league is going to be, surely they can't run with 5 teams

Logical thing would be one big league and 5 Man Teams (Danish League Format) with Race Nights held on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday imo.

Poland can keep the Friday to Sunday slot, Danish riders can still ride in their Home country on a Wednesday and then it'll just leave riders choosing between Britain and Sweden which some already do.

I think they'll go for two leagues again though (7-7 Split) with Scunny and one other moving up to save the Premiership.

PREM - Belle Vue, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Scunthorpe, Sheffield + Glasgow or Poole

CHAM - Berwick, Edinburgh, Oxford, Plymouth, Redcar, Workington + Glasgow or Poole

Don’t think Glasgow or Poole will want fixed race nights though certainly not  Mon or Thursday

Ford wants Weds, in the interests of Poole the sport, and won't move up

I was replying to TTT's  hypothetical post. Poole won't move up if the Prem needs more teams, and wants Wednesdays. Fine, but if it does go 1 league, and no Weds it could be a problem for them.

True, However if it's a choice between Mon/Tue/Thu or no race night at all then he'll have to accept it imo.

Don't think clubs will get away with being picky about race nights if we lose a few clubs this winter.

Promotions will have to compromise to keep the Sport going over here imo.

Big winter coming up.

Which Promotions though is the question. There are more Championship Clubs than Premier.

That would probably be the case. I would expect Poole to be out voted if it came to it.

Why wouldn't the interests of Poole come first as I would expect the interests of Kings Lynn to come first in Buster Chapman's agenda.

Would he run if there was only one league, and was out voted on race days. He might have compromise, to help speedway in the UK at some stage.
