I’d be on the phone to Mark Riss

Richie will be a Monarch in 2020

No team is winning away at Armadale with that top three IMO. Pickering has improved year on year and I’ve not doubt he will again. Masters is pretty much unbeatable at Edinburgh with Worrall not far behind.

Richie Worrall back for 2020 by all accounts. Must be looking at an increased points limit.

Possibly. What’s his Ashfield record like? Not aware of it being brilliant?

Confirmed that Wells and Heeps won’t be back.

Any 2020 rumours kicking about at the dinner last night?

Is he an Edinburgh asset?

Who would be in a better position? The supporters of the teams who you seem to be saying are irrelevant and need closing probably wouldn’t agree. I’m not suggesting that running with low crowds is ideal but if it’s realistic and sustainable (big if) then what’s the problem?

*fewer And the cups? The pairs? The fours?

No-one is under any illusion that CL is thriving but if you somehow think that because you’ve got the odd better rider that the PL with seven (soon to be six) sides is entertaining and the future of the sport in Britain then you’re delusional. Speedway needs to cut its cloth and doing so at CL level is easier.

Is the answer Jason Doyle?

That could be a big ht15 for Glasgow. A 5-1 against and the tie was over IMO.

Do you get more meetings being a PL rider or being a CL rider? We both know the answer to that.

On average each PL side has maybe two riders that aren't also riding CL? It's a guess but can't be too far off. Is that really worth the lack of meetings and having to in some cases to adjust your meeting nights for?

Does anyone seriously think the overall product on offer in the PL is better? Yes, there are (an ever decreasing number of) better riders but there's about four teams in the league ffs. The Championship has greater competition, individuals events, the pairs, the fours, local derbies. There's just much more going on. Oh and you don't have to put up with Kelvin Tatum and Nigel Pearson visiting your stadium every now and again. Poole will be a good addition and very much look forward to welcoming them to Armadale.

Agree. I fear the authorities won’t go for it though. We all know the Championship is the better league but the authorities will be desperate to protect the Premiership.

That kills that then! Bloody rules

If the points limit is 42.5 you’ll see a few bloody good teams I’d think!

You’d think maybe Josh Grajczonek would be a good fit for them at Championship level?

Don't disagree. Attracting new fans to speedway at Armadale is difficult. If we were back in town (pie in the sky i know) then marketing it becomes a lot easier - not easy but a lot easier. I'll keep buying Euromillions tickets........

Me neither tbh but i think he might come back on an average of less than 5.00 which has to be a bit of a bargain.

I’d be trying to get Mark Riss back.

Great, thanks

Where aboots?
