InTheDeepStuff Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I was told that Godfrey and co trying to drag Workington up to the Premiership for 2027 with another track not sure who one though so 8 teams in Premiership next year, not sure if that is backed by Facenna money so they stop poking Glasgow (or to help British Speedway). Nothing confirmed just something a current Premiership rider had heard on the grapevine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing confirmed just something a current Premiership rider had heard on the grapevine Speedway rider profiles I don't really understand the idea of just pushing teams up into the Premiership, Workington and the previously mentioned Mildenhall don't have a big town or city within 45 minutes. How are they going to get the fans who will in the long run keep the team going? Make the gap between the championship and premiership bigger. Only riders with under 5.00 average can double up in the premier league. Also, all that money you wanted to invest in Workington, put some of it as a prize pot for the 2027 champions. Then Poole and Glasgow (and everyone else in the championship) will want to move up to get better riders and more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to spend millions as a collective to achieve pretty much absolutely nothing, instead, spend it on prize money and generate some interest...

Daniel Smith Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago What is wrong with people?? Some seriously weird behaviour. Wishing the Premiership dead, hoping the Championship will suffer etc. These people are basically hoping for the suffering of clubs and their fans. What kind of psychopathic mentality are these people on??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of psychopathic mentality are these people on??? Bizzare isn't it, this season the premiership has been dull and the play offs are decided at the beginning of the season, the calls are to water down the Championship to make their product better and somehow make it more viable. Championship fans seem happy with their Speedway. They've tried to tickle Glasgow and Poole before but why would they step up to a non viable league, it's financial suicide.

Oh, I'm happy to see speedway in Northampton and will go a few times a season as it stands now. But if there was one big league, with plenty of different opposition, I'd probably be there every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Eastie might be another with a similar Northampton type deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
