A very well thought out post and some great recommendations Cookie, which would certainly bring UK speedway more into this century. In addition to your suggestions I think the rules could be changed to allow the signing of three additional riders in the heat leader, second string and reserve positions, squad members if you like. These riders can only ride for one team in BPL and can replace riders who are off form, injured or away on FIM duty. Heat leaders would most likely come from riders not riding in this country now and the second strings and reserves coming from the lower division/s in this country. BPL meetings to take presedence over any meetings in this country. Clubs would also have the choice to use RR for injured or away heat leaders and second strings. The BPLTV is certainly going in the right direction and could be a great success if administered properly. Whether any of this will be taken on board by the powers of the BSPA is anyone guess!
