Riders like Doyle and Woffinson recently claimed that it was a mistake to forgo British speedway as they thought it was beneficial to their GP chances which is why they came back. The top league is a lot better than the Championship in terms of standard which can clearly be seen at Belle Vue where they currently have Bewley and the World's number 2. I just don't think the top riders in the top league would be overjoyed at having to make a trip to Armadale on a Friday night. I also remember the last time they merged the leagues and it was dreadful and so many races were predictable. That's why it never lasted.

I've seen many races from Powderhall & Shawfield in 95/96 & thought the racing was awesome. Of course back then it was a thrill for div 2 fans to see world class riders at their tracks, plus other former div 1 heat leaders. Of course now there's less world class riders racing over here, plus fans will be used to seeing some Prem heat leaders ride in the Champ, so wouldn't be as exciting now as it was 30 years ago I'd suggest

The vast majority of sports are amateur or semi-pro, including olympic athletes. Those competitors make it work but you say speedway riders cannot?

Of course they can, the narrative suits a lifestyle choice albeit a dangerous one.
