The Problem with speedway is that the premier and championship leagues comprise of the same riders (44 riders out of 51) are championship riders riding in the premiership. There is no easy route for young riders to progress which means the sport will stagnate and will only survive by loosing one or two team per season. I have seen the sport decline season by season from the 1980s. The problem is the biggest gang of promoters sets the rules each season. Last year young riders were brought into the league but it had minor problems like Leon Flint staying at reserve on a seven point average. Instead of amending this to say any riders gets over 5 must go into the main body of the team for x number of matches. It was scrapped. Every season the rules change which will always be detrimental to the sport.

This is the most important point for all speedway teams in the UK to ride on a day which is most profitable for the promotion.

It has been a problem for a number of season of referees making bad decisions, as most matches are filmed for video production why not give a feed to the referees box then he can review any stoppage and hopefully give the correct decision.

The provincial League was the second tier of British speedway and Newcastle's representative and Winner in 1963 and 1964 was Ivan Mauger.

Anything is possible the way speedway is run, just look at last season when Workington raced at Newcastle in a double header with Redcar and at the same time teams were actually racing eachother in the playoffs.

Also because of all the fixture delays you will have a meaningless fixture against Newcastle at the end of the season unless they are allowed to race the KOC match and count it as a league match also.
