So this could be one more club that doesn't want to run In the premiership in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like this just confirm the desperate state that the top level speedway in this country has become. One league is only a matter of time away. Call it championship, premiership, whatever. But then how the hell can you make a profit when all you’ve got is four other competitors to compete with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This insistence to keep a Premier League will eventually fail .IMO. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, why is there this obsession with the ‘top’ flight? The sport in this country has no credibility. The shrinking numbers that still follow the sport aren’t that bothered about which league their team compete in. Less than a handful of GP level riders is the only difference between the Premiership and Championship. The top tier is so attractive that it has got to the point where they literally are begging clubs to take part! This is not something you would include in your sales pitch when trying to attract new spectators/sponsors to the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was no Premiership- but only one “senior” league running on something like a 38 - 40 point limit then that league would consist of no more than eight (maybe nine) teams simply because of a lack of suitable riders. And to be clear, this is not a personal opinion, just an outcome of the math involved. One thing to be sure of …. The eight or nine surviving teams would not all come from this year’s Championship.

The riders are calling the shots. I don’t see how this sport can move on until the doubling up monster is tackled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people keep insisting there's not enough riders for one league when there clearly are and it would be competitive with some innovative outside the box thinking. Whether there would be in a year or two with the way the NDL has gone is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
