Maybe you don't agree with the opening two lines by Gavan, but there's nothing else in what he said that's wrong. Other teams don't agree with the vision (Gavan didn't say all other teams), and Louis has dedicated a huge part of his life to the sport as well as to the Witches. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's exhausted both physically and mentally. His last sentence springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis pairs up with Dean Wood at spedeworth, Guy Nicholls & another sponsor like Halo.

Halo provides the money ( a drop in the ocean) compared to their outlay in football & F1 Nicholls provides the track work equipment. The league Ipswich (Spedeworth Mildenhall (spedeworth) Northampton (spedeworth) Eastbourne (spedeworth) Belle Vue Kings Lynn Sheffield Leicester The difference being that sponsors would bank role the club’s & an independent chairman would oversee the league. Harry Redknapp & futures Ltd sorts out the tv coverage. The BSPA could then run the championship & NDL Happy days. That’s just dreaming IMO. Nobody is going to bankroll Speedway.

I still don't understand why they didn't go to the fans for their preferences first before announcing stepping down and selling? Why should they?!!

Whether it is for the good of the sport overall might questionable but at this stage in proceedings all options need to be considered as along as all the tracks continue to offer speedway and other two wheeled sports. Great idea that should be explored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 6 hours ago, ouch said: You do realise you’ve picked meetings that contain the top stars. Even the play offs have top stars as generally their inclusion makes for top teams. What made you choose these meetings? They have some jeopardy, and you feel that you are at least attending a "proper sporting event" given the size of the crowd delivers atmosphere.... Maybe the play off semi not so much as the crowds are only a "bit better" than the normal meetings, but at least the meeting has some consequence... One league would have seen me attend a fair few times, home and away, given the novelty factor.. I will still get plenty of Speedway though as planning a few trips to Poland, and some other GP's.. Sport without jeopardy or consequence isn't really sport, but more of a pastime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe running 1 season with 5 teams and “ taking it on the chin” with the “hope” of Peterborough, Northampton etc boosting the Prem in 2027 is worth the chance 🤷♂️ Of maybe running a season with 14 teams and then deciding if it works or not is worth doing? The top tier, in its current guise, as is proven by all the evidence of the last decade, clearly doesn't work... From eleven teams down to seven teams, it hasn't worked.. So five has zero chance, and two more teams added in 2027 will have the same zero chance.. So. How many times are they going to try and revive that dead horse by keeping flogging it?
