think Bowes is a good signing to be honest.

you do exactly the same to Poole and Belle Vue to be fair.

Just because one team made it work doesn’t mean all the others will, how many teams have come and gone in the top league now? None of them could make it work, it just doesn’t work in this country anymore unless you have deep pockets or sponsors with even deeper pockets

it isnt though is it, its a complete joke to even call it a league with just five teams. the sport has barely any credibility as it is, there will be even less if the top 'league' has so few teams.

yes i did, maybe you can change it to 'educated estimates' like you did in one of the replies?

where are the facts?

Ive seen moments of absolute quality in the national league and championship too, its not just the world class riders. Its obvious at this point the premiership experiment has failed and clubs (apart from maybe two) cannot afford to fork out the big contracts anymore.

Think I read previously that this has been looked at fairly recently but there’s a rule that means it can’t happen as it’s too close to Kings Lynn?

There’s one poster on here that is calling out British national league riders by name for some reason, but no it’s everyone else that is anti British speedway

Let down by who?

looks more professional than anyone in speedway has done ever to be honest, and its just for a merch drop.

not sure whats happened to the ipswich fans, finally won a trophy after years of trying and now theyre all on there 'premiership' high horse. you were also rans in the second division for absolute years, maybe you will be again soon...

i was thinking about this earlier and whether a north/south would work, allows double up/sideways and should give riders enough meetings as well as more local derbys

where did i say that, i said 'riders like this', not 'these riders'

I would argue its riders like this that have been one of the downfalls of the sport and taking team spots away from younger riders. Where is that stat again with how many young riders have retired over the past few years?

right ive finally convinced myself that you are actually trolling with every post.

5 man teams would be 6 rides per meeting each too, automatically boosting the riders points money but the club could potentially save on equipment, signing on fees etc.

That doesnt seem to happen though, and hasnt happened in the previous 20+ years so why would it start happening now?

i think the pushback would be it leaves the prem with 4 teams, and that isnt feasible so then the championship promoters are thinking the other prem teams will also want to move down, potentially affecting current team building.

but the limit isnt 25 😅

A lot of your posts are massive assumptions. Firstly you think all non uk riders would leave the league. Secondly you think everyone will spend £30 (i dont buy a programme or a drink or pay for parking). Thirdly you've mentioned it would be a 25 point limit, which is probably a total guess. £20 for a 5 man team of something like: (using Poole as your example) Lawson Rowe Thomsen Cairns Rushen is not unreasonable.

Fine with me

Not been to a meeting at mildenhall I see

So after all these calculations how many riders do you think will be available?

theyre not wrong though, you just need a track and you can go racing, the setup at peterborough is pretty much made for that with the banking offering good viewing already.
