Just an idea 1 big league spit in to North & South divisions. Home & away x1. Top 4 from each move on to Play-Offs, Home & away x1. Whomever finish top wins the league. Remaining teams below both top 4s, home & away x1 compete for the Caven Shield. Guarantee of around 12-13 Home fixtures pending number of teams. Plus KO Cup, Pairs & British Final (scrap the qualifiers). All averages in the 1st season converted to current Premiership. Team building to 40.00. Introduce a grading system for year 1 also. Grade A: SGP, Ekstraliga ave 7.00+, Elitserien, Danish League & Premiership 8.00+. Grade B: Ekstraliga 6.99-4.00, Elitserien, Danish League & Premiership 7.99-6.00. Grade C: Everyone else. If a team signs 1 Grade A they can have 2 Grade Bs. Sign 2 Grade As, it's only 1 Grade B. Sign no Grade As, can have up to 4 Grade Bs.

There are not enough riders around that'll accept a 'Semi-Professional' league. I wouldn't worry to much as that option definitely won't be on the table.

One thing (maybe the only thing) the current Premiership has in it's favour is travel. It's very 'Middle England'. There's no travelling to Glasgow - Edinburgh all the way down to Poole - Plymouth. Do remember Buster mentioning this as having a substantial savings on costs to the club as to whether it's best being a Premiership or Championship team.

I think it an absolutely simple issue to fix to which I've said for years. It can't be eradicated totally but all guests should come in from the lower league & have a lower converted average than the official No7. 1 rider missing, it's only R/R. 2 riders missing, it's R/R + guest at No7 & everyone else in the team moves up a position. 3 riders missing, meeting postponed. It definitely should not be accepted that half the team can be guests. _______________________ Tonight, another good result for the Stars, but yet again for King's Lynn fans the Play-Offs carrot is dangling, it's the hope that kills you again isn't it?? Where's that next flop result coming.

It takes all types to make every sport exciting. In Speedway you need the gating tart, the curb crawler, the chaser & the kamikaze. The mixture of mentality is what gives the sport (any sport) the excitement. Without the Pedersen types, the sport is & has been a bland sport for a while. The fact many are talking about Woryna, means he's doing something right, for his profile & the sport overall.

Not seen a single GP for 2 years. Is this Kubera the 'Real Deal'? Willing to put his & others lives at risk just to win? Are we talking peak Nicki Pedersen mentality? Do you think he's willing to take his own countryman & national hero Zmarzlik for a safety barrier inspection? If it's a yes to all those, I may sign up & have a new hero. Speedway globally desperately needs characters rather than the soft touch of recent years. I'm all for 'risk & reward' over safe & bland every day of the week.

Finally, some questioning of the management at King's Lynn in the media 🙏🏻 Yes, it's a very gentle poke, hopefully some eyes can be opened https://www.lynnnews.co.uk/sport/foxes-loss-will-hurt-more-than-most-for-stars-fans-9476157/

Looking at the 'Users Online', I'm wondering if they're Bots. Some of the threads being read are going back a decade. Who reads threads going that far back?? 2+2 does suggest the numbers ain't genuine.

Sack them all, getting humped by Nohopeton is beyond embarrassing.

Absolutely, hence why I am adamant that the pinnacle of the sport should be a closed shop. All other world class forms of motorsport don't have qualifiers. All drivers/riders are hand picked as the best available. The best way for the SGP/FIM selectors to do that is by League racing from the top 4 divisions over a 3 season period.

Yes, the system is flawed, but, why can't we criticise the rider's?? Tungate is, always has been and always will be sh!t.

Happens every year an absolute shocker of a rider makes it through 🤣 It's the reason I'll repeat again. The Speedway Grand Prix Series should be a closed shop. The best rider's in the world should be hand picked. The top 12 automatically qualify & the best 4 rider's with the highest amalgamation of averages from at least 2 leagues from:- •Ekstraliga •Elitserien •Speedway Ligaen •Premiership

What's a nude tan bra got to do with it??

Hence why I said "many fans" as it's not directed solely at you. We want and need change to move this sport on and genuine ideas CAN help. As much as they deny it, promoters, managers and riders do read this forum. Ideally, we should be paying £15 admission. Ideally we should have Zmarzlik, Laguta and especially Lambert over here full time. Ideally we should be have major brands as sponsors. We are where we are because British Speedway has been stuck in this mentality that the fans don't matter. A constant dumbing down but increasing prices on us. Because of such measures, even the hardest of hardcore fans have been picking and choosing meetings. Many have given up all together. At fault for all that has been and always will be the clubs owners/promoters. It's never ever the fans fault if a club fails. Seeing Coleman's message, so sadly, makes me laugh. Why, you say?? If this guy keeps "running his mouth" to improve the sport, the other promoters will run him out of town within 4 years. Shamefully, Sandhu, Frost, J.Chapman and to a point M.Ford all ran out of the sport for trying to be 'progressive', many before them and since have also come and gone. Very loudly, it needs to be said to a number of this current promotions:- "You're fukkin s#!t at your job."

B ) is not and never will be an option. No TV deal in 2027 would pay out the numbers to make top tier Speedway "exclusive". It's not just the BSPL that needs to give their heads a wobble, it's very evident fans do too. It's why a a whole, we don't get listened to either. The concentration has to be on maintaining and/or expansion of what we have. There's still this mentality amongst many fans that we're a big player and we're not, it's not even close. Banning doubling-up (if it's 2 leagues) and guests would be a catastrophic move in such a weak position the sports in. Selfishness is what is killing our once loved sport. It's as simple as that. Me, me, me, me, that is all that's the focus for promoters. Doubling-up and guests is not, never has been and never will be the problem. That is such a fickle issue to this sport. Years gone by, we owned the sport. Everyone wanted to be here and 1000's would turn up to watch. Terrific atmospheres up and down the country. It's now Poland's sport. We need to get over ourselves and embrace being their support act. I've said it before, we can really strengthen our position by being a feeder league to those guys and it's us fans and Promoters that need to get their heads out their ar5e and work with and alongside Poland. Only then, could the pendulum swing back or way. Switch the mindset away from rules and regulations. They will absolutely fix nothing for nobody.
