I still say there should be a payment cap with every rider in the league paid the same inc bonus points. Premiership - £100pp - £12 admission - No Concessions - Kids Free Championship - £50pp - £9 admission - No Concessions - Kids Free National League - £20pp - £7 admission - No Concessions - Kids Free The better talented rider's would still rise to the top and leave it to the rider's how they spend their money on equipment. Common sense may then prevail that they can profit just as well being a 2nd string on average equipment than the guy spending thousands at No1. That way eventually the costs on equipment slowly comes down to earn more money, even the No1's will soon realise.

Who commemorates a 69th anniversary? Unless there's no chance of 70.

1. Morris 8.43 2. Ellis 6.89 3. Nicholls 7.35 (Rye average) 4. Rasmus Jenson 4.55 5. Batchelor 8.32 6. Wajtknecht 4.00 7. Mountain 2.78 Total 42.32

Think Nicholls would also be converted Championship average. If so, a steal on 6.07.

Correct, to bring Connor in Swindon would have to be redeclared to 42.50

Regardless of the results, there's nothing stopping this being a cracking meeting. If the result is 60-30, if Leicester gate that means lots of passing for fun. There have been many many meetings that been excellent even though the losing team have been humiliated. At the same time, there's been many 46-44 meeting that hace been FTG. Every meeting has the potential to be a cracker or a stinker regardless of who v who.

Would come in on 2.78 average.

Josh Auty is 6.03. Has to come in on converted Championship average

While it would probably make good TV, with the finances in the sport it would be suicidal for King's Lynn to accept the switch.

Let's just push all the nonsense aside for this thread and think about what's happening. Are we witnessing a league that could potentially turn into one of the all time classics seasons ever. We're heading to the halfway point in the season and I can't ever remember a time when top and bottom have ever only been separated by a measly 8 points. King's Lynn go into this week with 2-3 matches in hand. Also on the other teams, 2-4 less home fixtures with 3 of their home fixtures to come in 7 days from next Monday. Leicester just need to find a "hot" reserve and they'll be back in it too. Belle Vue, Wolverhampton & Swindon are solid, Poole have bragged their backsides out of the gutter. On paper Somerset are the team to have punched above their weight but with the few changes they've made to their team (for the better) they could become formidable. Potentially, 2018, when looked back on could go down as "THE" greatest league challenge ever in British Speedway history.

King's Lynn fans are chuffed to see one of our own moving on up in the World but I hope they're not delusional enough to think being at King's Lynn has brought on this next step in his career. For me, it's moving to the 2nd tier in Poland (although with the same club due to promotion) and a more prominent role in Sweden. 2 far more competitive leagues than the British Premiership.

Yes it is fair and team changes should never be restricted

Yay, a race in heat 18

Unless I'm watching a different meeting, from heat 9 when Eurosport switched over I think this is an extremely poor meeting. All happening turn 1 lap 1 but after turn 2 it's follow the leader to the end.

This link won't let me in

Does anyone have a full rundown all the Premiership and Championship clubs promoters and how long they've been at the club's? I think once these new promotions get a vote we may see a changing of the guard.

Interesting of Swindon to run this when they can't even give any updates or hope to the fans that 2019 will exist for the Robins. This is a desperate attempt to bring in a crowd without even trying to fix any of the sports issues. An idea likely to have come out of the BSPA meeting Tuesday. An idea that can put people off for life with the current state of the Premiership. Maybe a last ditch attempt to the Swindon council that the new stadium will be viable. Either way, I think the club has got it's priorities wrong, just over 2 months of the 2018 season left and fan's are in limbo.

I don't pay for that either, watch all that with my old man's sky and BT accounts I don't do any of that either

I save £80 a month by not bothering with Speedway

What I posted on Philip Rising's thread "NO WORD FROM THE BSPA" thread _________________________ Speedway needs someone with a bit of cash, offer a breakaway series with an independent governing body, all with the FIM/ACU approval and the SCB/BSPA can do f-all about it. The FIM/ACU must surely be able to see the the SCB/BSPA is one and the same and not fit for purpose and be disbanded.  The ACU and FIM should really now get involved in the shambles that is British Speedway. A man with knowledge of the sport and is nowindependant of all clubs is Jonathan Chapman. Jonathan, the sport needs you and with a number of new promotions out there already not getting a vote at the BSPA would surely get your backing. Glasgow, Belle Vue, Rye House, Redcar, Sheffield and Leicester have shrewd, forward thinking people behind them. If you, Jonathan Chapman really do have some ideas that can bring the sport and their businesses into the 21st Century and give the punters something to support, now's the time to undercut the SCB/BSPA before the time is to late for all of us

That's the thing about a job, you have to work alongside colleagues you don't like but for the business you do the best you can. For the Stars, Garrity is as good as any as a replacement for Kerr. Bite the bullet and get on with it for the sake of the team. Nobody has had any issues with Jason at Scunthorpe and Belle Vue. In fact his character has had the opposite effect with what most fans and rider's comments about him. He may have turned a corner with his personality and become more grounded. I hope the promotion can see past the fact they may not like someone. It's their job to do what's best for the club and that's employing the best for the job. Garrity fits the bill

Looking at the numbers, with Stevie Worrall returning to the Aces line-up I wonder if the Stars management are looking to pick up Jason Garrity.

The only way Buster can really make a statement of intent is by redeclaration and Keeping Iversen, Lambert and Proctor. The problem is that when available, would you find better than Jorgensen and MPT?!? Kerr's average is one of those that can only really be replaced by a bang average rider. The management team really are between a rock and a hard place in this situation. I think continue as they are with R/R and hope there's no more injuries and fixture clashes with Denmark.
