Is there a deadline for a decision on team 6?

I presume no Premier fixtures can be done until this happens.

Perhaps they going to introduce the 6th team in the playoff like the joker, who knows at this point ?

Still waiting for team 5 to be officially sorted. There's still just 4 teams in the Premiership

Could just do the fixtures now with 5 teams. Every Monday & Thursday there will always be at least one team not racing, they could race the 6th team on that date if needed?

There's plenty of Jokers running the British League without doing that although you do have a good point. You never know - Redknapp's Wild Card (Poole Pirates) seeded straight to the final

I’m beginning to wonder if this 6th team talk is a smoke screen to deflect from they haven’t secured the 5th team yet and it stops people talking about the Ipswich situation until it is resolved,,if it was a done deal they would surely be able to release fixtures by now, so clearly all is not sorted

Indeed....

You would just inform the club missing out to be on "standby" and put TBA on the weeks they are the fifth team...

Of course, running six teams does mean at least two will still need to miss out each week so their riders can guest....
