MJShore92 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Newish speedway fan here. And sad to see it decline. Would it not be an option to merge the Premiership and Championship into one proper national league or would it not work? It would mean more teams and more variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I would agree that if we are to form one league it would be now. So many times the top league has been propped up by clubs that cannot afford top line riders & have to run weaker teams. The introduction of the Rising Star system once again what ever name it has been labeled in the past has again for the most part been a failure. riders like Leon Flint could retire at 35 as a rising star. One league would suit British Speedway I know great servants to the UK like Jason Doyle will no doubt suffer but we must move forward & stop dwelling in the past. Britain can produce great riders but we have to understand the draw of Poland & the FIM events with the rewards they bring. Sport offers a short career with very little to offer after your done. Some clubs may close after this season for one reason or another, We already know Birmingham will not return & there are rumours surrounding many others & most in the top league. There may have to be comprimise as so many riders are racing for more than one club in different leagues so 6 man teams might be the answer. I can't see a North/South split being a good option as we will be at square one again with riders at 2 clubs & the end of season play off would be N v S with 6 guests to cover those racing against their other club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
