As much I praise my club for putting out a statement committing themselves to the premiership, I really struggle to see what actually is the premiership. As it stands it's Leicester, Belle Vue, Kings Lynn. Being commited to that is something I am not looking forward to. If we can add Ipswich and Sheffield to the mix we're getting somewhere, but as of now we have no idea what's going on. I'm just so frustrated that every single fan has seen this coming, for years in fact. We all knew Birmingham would shut soon, we all knew that Oxford would drop the premiership but it's almost like the powers at be are surprised! The idiots that run this sport have clearly been living in fantasy world and haven't been prepared for this situation at all. It's embarrassing and complete chaos.
So if the premiership is dead what are the solutions? Two leagues (champ and NDL) one super League? Challenge matches? Two seasons combined into calender year so share around riders. North Vs South? God knows. If it is two leagues then clubs like Leicester, Lynn and Belle Vue will be far behind in terms of team building .
God isn't sport depressing. Why do I have to love cricket, speedway and football. England are throwing away the first test, speedway is on its knees and I support West Ham. Thanks dad 🥲
Be careful what you wish for lol. Like everything has all been going swimmingly with the current set up. Alot of us have wanted change first and foremost and lets be honest here, one big league is happening because of clubs shutting down. Nothing to do with fans om this forum asking for it. Your basically blaming supporters for one big league when we don't even have a say in the matter!
The blame is to be shared all around.
1.Riders demanding too much wonga
2. The BSPA running the sport poorly and unprofessionally
3. Losing Sky tv contract
4. Poland
5. The Grand Prix
6. TNT being rubbish
7. Poor crowds
8. Poor advertising/lack of modernizing
9. Lack of investment from clubs
10. Houses being built
I could go on forever!!! There's plenty more.
Time for the British speedway rebuild
Championship
Poole, Leicester, Redcar, Kings Lynn, Plymouth, Scunny, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oxford, Belle Vue.
National League
Workington, Lion cubs, Colts, Chargers, Milddenhall, E Academy, Buxton? I don't really know to be honest.
I'm sure we can still run the premiership still , It would be brilliant and so smart to see a league that consists of Leicester, Kings Lynn and Belle Vue. Just sounds so exciting!
Sad news again. Birmingham, Ipswich and now Sheffield all either up for sale or simply not bothering anymore.
I wonder what the reasons are for Ipswich selling up? Anybody have an idea? Is it a money thing or a 'I'm not getting my own way so I won't bother anymore'
