Bagpuss Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago AT LEAST 5 teams is what I'm sure I read. I'll be really surprised if there's not 6 personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like of there's no buyers for Ippo and Sheffield BSPL are going to run them as back stop "owners" maybe? Either that, or the UK Government has stepped in to avert a crisis using confiscated Russian assets as collateral. Why else would Starmer have been meeting the Belgian PM today, hours before the BSPL announcement?😂 Edited 1 hour ago by Hamish McRaker 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced that's going to happen Still more questions than answers at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Six teams in a "Top League" of a "National Sport" will look exactly like it looks... ie. A waste of time, and a waste of yet another year that could have seen some sense, and forward planning brought to the sport.. All this will do is reduce crowds further... But. At least riders can double up... So. That's got to be worth paying around thirty quid next year to watch them do it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rise of the economically inactive over-55's and Gen Z's aversion to night clubs and alcohol will mean Monday night becoming the new Saturday night🤫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR is using declared riders of the team so what is wrong with that or are you saying injuries are not allowed? Or maybe you are simply over reacting.
