Belle Vue, Sheffield, Leicester, Kings Lynn, and??

Ipswich I assume under new owners, 

 

remember Louis said he wouldn’t go champ or if it’s a 5 team league he will step away. 
 

no one wants to see a 5 teams league. Would be the worst decision ever. 
 

just hope it’s a just a rumour.

Could be the four I mentioned and one from the Championship or a.n other if Ipswich don’t get sold. If it IS a five team league, they’re simply going to have to change the rules and do away with play offs for next year at least. Top team wins the title. It’s the only way.

Great  as far as I am concerned. So something good, at least, will emerge from this current debacle we find ourselves in.

What's left of out great Sport will at least, be credible and have some sort of integrity..

It makes me really sad to see how things have gone. The thing is that most of our problems are self inflicted.

It’s just not good enough, it’s destined to fail, fans don’t want it, it doesn’t interest me at all 

It doesn't matter what fans want though. Only what they want. They probably going to sit there til 6th Jan until someone agrees to move up. 

We are basically as you were on Nov 12th, so delaying sounds like a massive waste of time right now 😔

No one would buy into a club or a sport where the business model and future is determined by third parties and the investor has no say as to when and how you run your business because the speedway ‘masons’ decide what will and will not be.

 

 

 

In fairness most sports are governed by a third party. The issue with speedway is the third party happens to be your competitors and not an independent body.

It certainly won't interest all the considerable amount of punters who used to go regularly and now either attend "now and again", or not at all...

I will stick to the PCMM, the two GP's and (maybe), a Play Off meeting...

And not bother going anywhere else to watch, as I have been to the other four tracks several times...

Just imagine the euphoria though in the town or city of whoever wins the prestigious title of  "Speedway GB Premiership Champion"?.....

(Be like winning the Meat Raffle in the local Legion)...

"worst decision ever" in speedway circles means its a shoe in Phil :(

Glasgow and Workington are worth a trip if you can.

Poole and Worky are announcing signings soon so seems that championship is as you were, so seems what Phil is saying is likely. Unless Championship teams are getting their teams publically known before any other teams come into the league.

Mildenhall? 

heard a rumour months ago that they would be champ with king at 1, but king at plymouth and nothing mentioned about mildenhall since so im guessing mildenhall was interested in a comeback but it has since cooled
