They haven’t, but I’ve read on here multiple times this season that the crowds have been poor

Then you read that Belle Vue had some of the lowest crowds ever this season, so has that had any affect?

I think it says a lot really that even teams like Poole can’t compete in the premiership, makes you wonder how the teams currently in the top league do have the money to afford it, it cannot be sustainable anymore

which is? it definitely isnt forcing two teams up for a start...

I don’t think anyone is under the illusion one league would solve all of speedways problems, but it might be a necessity the way things are going.

exactly which is why no one would take it seriously. I think its time to admit the illusion of a top league has failed and to cut their cloth accordingly and drop to one big league with less riders per team.

I would say you are correct in that assumption, but whatever team fancies it would basically be a sacrificial lamb, and clearly no current championship team want to do it either as I daresay we would have heard something from now.

Which is one of the major things wrong, promoters need to stop bending over backwards for the riders

not a chance i would say, the houses are basically built up to the fence. Theres no car park left either right?

i think Harrison has already shown he is much more dedicated than Boughen

ive said for a while british riders under 24 should get a 15% reduction on averages, then british riders over 24 get a 5% reduction.

would make the most sense and i imagine thats what will happen too.

Is that why he wants to leave Ipswich?

Personally think Perry and hodder at reserve makes perfect sense. Wouldn’t have such a weak number 2 though, but if both stayed at reserve all year they could both really kick on

I know there are flaws with every model but I would do something like the below. One big league with 6 man teams, number 6 must be British under 19, another must be British under 21 10% average reduction on British riders under the age of 24 5% average reduction on British riders over the age of 24 Both of the should encourage signing British riders, as well as potentially reducing costs and attracting more riders to give speedway a go helping the talent pool over the next few years. I’d also be tempted to offer 5% off riders staying at the same team to encourage teams to sign the same riders every year and encourage some form of loyalty between riders and teams/fans. British final over three rounds. KO cup and league only, no play offs

it might be in the rulebook but its not enforced, it definitely wasnt this year.

there is no such thing. riders will just ride where they want, as proved by this years rising star picks.

You sure?

Ive said it before and ill say it again, Simon Lambert has done much more for the sport than your inane and nonsensical posts on here ever will.

Max Fricke - 9.89 Jan Kvech - 6.91 Chris Harris - 6.53 Nicolai Klindt - 6.46 Maciej Janowski - 6.06 Mulford Rushen

it will be 36 for the top 5 and then two brits at reserve.

maybe he thinks a change of track will help him in the GPs? No idea though

couple of years ago when Lambert ended the season there.

yeah and theyre in different leagues unless something changes?
