HGould Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Chris Louis and Mark Lemon will prepare to die fighting to keep a PL and the majority of the TV money That will ensure Ipswich, Belle Vue , Kings Lynn form the core of the reduced PL, they will ensure enough funding to ensure Leicester can remain in and ensure that someone with deep pockets goes in to Sheffield....They will go with 5 IF they have to, if not they will offer to throw a small fortune at a track to make up the 6th place - Louis has already touted Northampton and has close links with Deane Woods who owns both Ipswich and Northampton. The CL will remain as it is. NDL may add Mildenhall if ACU will sigh off the track, if not Mildenhall will ride a NORA programme. The NDL level hasn't enough riders to support a league to fit the 10 or 11 who are currently members, a few might drop out, they will want to support Kent who will be the only standalone. So NDL may well be regionalised again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 2 hours ago, ShanoXtra said: My bigger concern is that end of this season his work visa runs out. You can renew it obviously but it’s another thing that makes me question if he will return or not. If the structure of the sport allows for his return then it’s done to what Emil & Ipswich want to do. If they both then want it to happen I can’t see the visa being an issue. I can only see Emil riding in the UK for Ipswich but I can’t see the structure allowing it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have happened decades ago... S**t or get off the potty and let someone else have a go... One Brand to sell to the country... Just like the NFL, all merchandise revenue gets shared, (using one corporate Speedway GB brand but each clubs own emblem is used on their individual merch), and the worst team each season get first opportunity to improve the season after... All TV money shared equally.... Streaming money shared the same, unless you don't allow streaming... You buy the franchise and hopefully make some money... You would though need some "proper governance" and "quality control" from "someone" independent who controls things. . (Fireman Phil?)...
