Less meetings probably means higher rents though I'd expect.
You do wonder where a tv deal (that actually pays proper money not the other way round) and sponsorship might come from.
Maybe Coleman has some ideas on this
We were talking about potential replacements last night
Charles Wright and Jeppesen were the best we could come up with unless the Polish connection can produce someone
John Campbell in today's Star
All the championship clubs want 1 league, a couple of the Premier clubs might like 1 big league
Peter Oakes "the majority of fans appear to want 1 big league"
So basically 11 of the current clubs are apparently in favour but (lets say) the 4 that aren't seem to hold sway....
It's an interesting set up Speedway
Alternatively the sport as a whole looks at resolutions that would stop clubs losing serious money every season, perhaps this is what Coleman was getting at as in an 8 team premiership with everyone else in a watered down championship with reduced costs
Something needs to change regardless
Absolutely, let's hope it's not true or can be avoided but with the closure of the Comets at Derwent previously it seems there isnt enough support for speedway up there
I now have no local track
This season I've been to 2 Northampton meetings (3 hour round trip) with a further one planned plus 1 visit to Ipswich (2 and a half hour round trip)
That's my lot and will probably remain so each season under this format
3 things can happen Sheffield can either get sponsorship.and investment externally, they can accept that Speedway in 2026 has to be owner funded or they can pack up
No doubt they've done their best to arrange the first one and are still trying, the second one is ongoing which leaves.....
A positive if cautious statement but given local elections etc and the speed that local authorities go at thats not surprising
Lets hope that when they conclude these investigations the outcome will be positive
