Don't forget that riders are not employees though, I'm not sure how foreign riders visa requirements are met in that case, do they work under/for an umbrella company. I'm not sure Brum were screwed over by the PL though but the setup as a whole, they should surely have been allowed to ride CL on a Monday much in the way that Swindon were allowed to run Thursday's when the PL switched to Monday/Wednesday originally, to force Brum to run PL was utter madness.

How many times does it need saying... the asset system has been dropped, nobody "owns" anybody anymore. I said it a few months back, riders need to become salaried employees of their clubs, ain't never going to happen though.

Last time it was held at the NSS at the weekend a few years back I seem to remember the crowd being quite good

I even heard them being played over the pa at Belle Vue once a few years back... how's that for down with the kids!

Awesome! Saw them in Nottingham on the Wednesday, brilliant show 🤘. I wonder if they were playing "Still Counting" at the AGM? 😂

Volbeat?

Sounds like they must seriously have thought that TNT would renew, the writing was on the wall as soon as Eurosport was amalgamated within TNT, they'd already elected to not renew previously. At that point plans for the 2026 should have been made, at least a contingency plan to run with no TV contract.

That's the thing PL clubs have no assets, unless you count the tractors... and I can't see anybody wanting Ippo's tractor, the flashing light doesn't even work 😉😂

Will there be a British Speedway stand there?

Daft topic anyway... smh

Season to start on Easter Sunday? ✝️

Sounds like a drug cartel operation!

You would have hopped that they would have had some kind of contingency plan to immediately switch to in the likely event that the TV contract was not going to be renewed.

Bah! Humbug 😂

Haven't you heard... Christmas has been put back to March 😂

If Louis is pulling Ippo out of the PL and there is no additional mystery club, surely a PL with 4 teams is a non-starter in which case the 4 remaining clubs will either have to be accommodated in the CL, NDL or not at all.

... at the time of going to press

Maybe not if they've got to accommodate 4 more teams?

I agree... and as a Leicester fan I'd be more than happy to see us in the CL... the PL has failed

There's certainly a bit of fiddling going on!

No one club is bigger than the sport, if they're prepared to go with 5 they may as well go with 4 as either are just as farcical and Louis will soon find out that his club is worth the total amount of 5h1t all... like others that have tried to sell.

The people running (ruining) our sport really are quite impressive

I'm sure 'Arry will be at the forthcoming Speedway Show, pretty sure, almost... probably

Sounds like you're confusing it with this years Budget 😂

The GP series is here to stay, it's an opportunity to showcase Speedway around 10 times a year instead of once. Also monster are not as on-board as they used to be, they tend to sponsor riders these days rather than events or the series itself.
