Guests is a necessary evil but the solution I've suggested for years is the simplest and fairest way forward. All guests must be from the lower league & not have a team spot in the Premiership. All guests must have an average equal or lower than the No7. If guests are required they come in at No7 and everyone else moves up in the team. What that also does, is speed up the process in finding injury replacements as teams get away with it for to long using better inform guest rider's than the guy injured. 1 missing R/R or guest at No7 2 missing R/R and guest at No7 3 missing, meeting postponed. It should be a ruling that meetings can only proceed if teams have 5 or more riders available from their official declaration. If meetings get cancelled due to availability, 2 league points are deducted.

That's not the same thing though is it??

Nobody, especially new fans would give a 💩 Doubling-Up is a nonsense argument in making the sport look 'Mickey Mouse'. There's no promotion / relegation so there is zero 'conflict of interests'. Guests have been and always will be a necessity of this sport. British Speedway doesn’t have the finances to run Polish type squad systems so that's a no no. This sport has far more important problems than some riding in multiple leagues. As far as I'm concerned, riding in the Premiership & Championship is no different to riding Premiership and Elitserien, it's still 2 different leagues with no conflict on each other.

Match fixing at it's finest this one

Shame they'd gone with 60s imagery. More modern imagery might get someone to search the sport up but that's obviously not weatherspoons responsibility to sell the area.

Speedway is absolutely better suited to a highlights reel. Cuts out all the 💩 and a whole meeting can be covered in just 30mins with best race highlights from other fixtures from that week. With all the gaps / delays in live meetings, the sport doesn't lend itself to modern society and new fans. Majority of U30s today cannot cope with nothingness and 15 minutes of action over a couple of hours just will never cut it. Speedway in general is a sport in a real tough spot regardless of the moves it tries to make. There has to be a major focus on speeding up heats and/or adding extra races. Selling Speedway to new observers, sponsors & media is a seriously tough job.

Excellent result is that 👏🏻👏🏻

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???

That's kind of my point. It's possible some rider's can earn more riding in the Championship over the Premiership. If they still get a gig in Poland it's not guaranteed rider's will pick the Premiership as TTT seems to think.

That's just Dan T. Absolutely no chance Lawson, Pickering, Masters etc are riding on Rising Star money in the Championship.

The fans, expect an extra £2-£3 on the entrance

Depends what rider's want. Even if they sign in Poland, they may still prefer the Championship over the Premiership due to the number of fixtures and weekend fixtures if they're not picked by their Polish club. The Premiership won't get it all their own way for sure.

Sure you're not still just angry about the Louis / Ipswich saga and somehow put it as a whole British Speedway thing??

In what way did Championship clubs get to big for their boots? Why would 2027 come back & bite them?

Why would it be a drop? Depending how you want to build a team, you can have a 4.00-4.50 at No7 & it doesn't have to be a Brit. The Premiership should be the pinnacle of British Speedway, not a fast track for the bang average. If young Brits want to reach the top, try averaging 7+ at Championship level first. Rising Stars in the Premiership has been a failure. Don't forget the 25% given to the RS's, if all got re-employed in 2027, it would be an increased to team strength, not a decrease.
