Not enough variety. Poland and Sweden don’t ride everyone twice home and away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset look very likely now and maybe Sheffield depending on the new owners there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster's Witches, Buster's Panthers. Buster's Stars, Buster's Lions and even Buster's Tigers X 2. Bound to get a mega sponsor ( or does he have one for that plan already? ) And now is it to be Buster's Rebels? Certain to end up as Buster's Busted.

Hopefully Eurosport will insist on team kevlars and bike covers across the board. Eurosport couldn't give a toss, it's all about filling up airtime for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Somerset and Sheffield did both move up then its odds on Peterborough will fill one of the vacated Championship places which brings the total to 8 teams, would this be enough for Eurosport, at least Eurosport can i think be aired on sky with the sports package.

LesR Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Eurosport is part of the sky sport package, but if you want to watch the gp's then you still need BT sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 BT's GP coverage is a totally seperate contract to that for domestic speedway. Its with different organisations for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 If BT have any sense they will do a deal with the Extraleague to show the 2 Friday night matches, or even 1 Friday 1 Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seathestars Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 The rumor i have heard is ten teams to run in Premiership Monday and Thursday Ten teams in the Championship not Premiership nights National league to run as a development league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If two teams move up, and with Cradley and Stoke not running next year, there'd only be four teams left, and two of those would be the 'junior' sides of Leicester and Belle Vue.

Fixed nights for PL matches will continue to strangle UK speedway. Not enough customers want those nights and are prepared to turn up and pay. But Hey Ho, why let that spoil a "good plan". Unless televised matches are to be a tenner or less to watch in the stadium there is no point in showing a moribund sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at Sheffield archives section for 2006. They had 33 matches at Owlerton that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
