It’s not utter fantasy, it just needs cooperation on all sides but that there is the problem, there is cooperation it’s all self interest 

It is utter fantasy that Belle Vue could've joined one big league and named Bewley or Kurtz Even with a ludicrous situation of them turning up for any weekend away fixture without them being "accomodated" what's the point The home teams uppirters don't see them - ripped off.  Belle Vue have to race without them- ripped off Take into account they would be on 12 points averages in a team total needing to be not much above 30 and it means Belle Vues travelling team would likely be 7x 4 pointers One big league would have to exclude (whether by design or reality) the top stars and indeed ALL those in Poland (2027 will mean no choice anyway) So also take out Lidsey, Brennan,Ellis, Cook, Blordorn etc etc Teams built to 30 with 3/4 NDL standard

I don’t get the people that seem to think Chris is obligated to run Ipswich speedway, he’s done more than enough and is well within his rights to move it on, from a financial perspective he’s probably wishing he did it a couple of years ago.

Add the fact that next years budget is down £95k before a wheel is turned due to the fact that there is no tv money and a brand new air fence to purchase.  less fixtures and less variety may lead to smaller crowds  will the sponsors put in as much money with no tv coverage? Who knows but as this is the Louis only income why would you gamble everything you have built up in a 5 team league which is doomed. I wouldn’t risk my house on it 

Excellent letter from Brian Buck in the latest edition. It nicely encapsulates the disgraceful behaviour of Councils and Developers across the country - and not just with speedway stadia!

It's also pretty much identical to the ruse they pulled-off with the Abbey.
