Coventry leaving Brandon means that since I started watching in 1976 there are now none that have continuously staged top flight league speedway without a break....
If the championship teams were serious they would have insisted on a straight promotion for their champions.
How can spectators take any play-offs fixtures seriously knowing one team might not actually be trying to win. Fans aren't that stupid!
I'm glad I drove and had a look round from the outside a couple of years ago whilst working on Merseyside to see it whilst it was still standing; although I never saw a meet there unfortunately.
so no question that the NL will have the most clubs....seems like a race to the bottom...at this rate the 3rd tier will soon end up being bigger than the other two put together
Personally I think top flight tracks should have some spectator facilities (like seats!).. In this respect they are no loss. This is 2016....surely its not an unrealistic expectation in this day and age is it?
