He’s ok if you’ve got a spare £3k guarantee for him for every meeting, he might even do the odd ht15! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 2 hours ago, Aries said: This is why I’ve been saying for months that if you’re going to persist with a top league, then it doesn’t suit a league with the amount of clubs that people are asking for because there just aren’t enough riders of sufficient quality to make them all competitive. The riders name dropped on the 360 podcast for Northampton sound like an absolute car crash of a team. Even with the likes of Doyle, Emil, Becker and Rew in the league last year and more options than this year, there was still only five teams putting together a competitive team in a seven team league. The two at the bottom were there just to make up the numbers and were with all due respect, cannon fodder. How is that going to be any different in 2027 if the aim is to have a top league of seven, or eight teams? Where are those extra clubs heat leaders going to come from? Absolutely correct. Those in charge are deluded and while one league could work using a broader scale of riders (excluding GP riders and those plying the trade in Poland etc..) the sport in the UK is beyond redemption. If UK speedway continues to believe that it has a role to play on the world stage it is kidding no one but itself. Individual riders may make it to the top but the run of the mill league speedway rider in the UK may produce the odd one or two who can crack the mould and reach the top but most are average but still very capable of entertaining the punters who will then feel that they are getting value for money from an entertainment perspective. 2027 needs planning now but whether those in charge acknowledge this is another issue. Statements to date from the BSPL leave the door open but who can trust them as custodians of the sport? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the fixation from the BSP in bringing back the likes of Coventry, Peterborough, Swindon and Wolves, leaves me perplexed... Who would these teams get to ride for them? One of the main augments against one league was the lack of riders of a certain level... What level would be needed to find another 28 team spots? Maybe instead of guesting it became official that one rider represented two teams in the same league?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
