I totally agree with you. The premiership is doomed as costs to run without major sponsorship is astronomical. Championship over last decade at least has and is the best competitive league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League is a misnomer. If all the 'Championship' riders decided to boycott the 'Premier' League' - there would be only one answer - there would be no 'Premier' League' it would not be a workable model and it has been like that for a heck of a long time now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of championship riders won't be doubling up next season if it stays at 5 Premiership teams, that is going to hurt their pockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is it end of season night like. I’ve been bringing my old man along to the home matches over the last two seasons. He has regularly expressed an interest in a pint on the way home but we are just over the border and I like my license. Is the end of season do worth the taxi fare?

Judging by the GP situation it appears not to be in great shape as a Global Sport compared to other Bike Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
