I see ya laughing BP. So CL wanted one league?. i don't know, please enlighten us lesser mortals. Wouldnt it be worth 1 more year to give maybe Northampton, PB, Cov, Swindon,or another team a chance to step up.. No matter how unlikely?

Thats the one... Say what you like about Lynn, but despite the crowds being not the best, and we are generally taken the pis% off, we are going again.. Louis is making a profit, and won't give it a year.... For the sports his family loves,where he might only break even.... Happy Christmas    

I was gutted and angry that wolves closed but I am around speedway so much it has softened the blow a little bit but being so close to it I also get to know a lot of the downsides which do sometimes pee me off a bit 

The majority of fans buggered off years ago.  Myself included when Newcastle closed. Well just before as it was rubbish, Whilst I'm not a fan of doubling up I don't think it has the detrimental impact in terms of credibility it once did. Look at franchise cricket. Everyone plays for multiple franchises. But it's now accepted because these competitions are differentiated. i.e. the Hundred is distinct from the Big Blast, the County Championship, the IPL the Big Bash etc. The trouble with the Premiership/Championship is that there's hardly any delineation between the two. Premiership is basically the Championship with maybe 6 elite riders added. i.e the Premiership isn't premium, the product isn't premium, apart from maybe at Belle Vue. It's clear that the majority of punters don't fall for it. A genuinely premium product might have worked but the Premiership has fallen between two stools for too long. Either do a premium product or don't. 

Tom Spencer and Ben B?

As far as i'm aware you cannot sign a contract until you're 16 Statement of intent to sign is probably not dissimilar to a verbal contract.
