ch958 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) well of course it did but the capacity for running 18 teams at a decent level would be compromised. I would suggest this brings a single division even closer BTW its not up to speedway about Aussies and NZ - its the D of E who will be keen to ensure UK riders are employed. The commonwealth means nowt in this case Edited October 19, 2019 by ch958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commonwealth means nowt in this case The Commonwealth means nothing in all cases. The point im making is im sure HM Government will do a deal with Aus/NZ to allow people of certain trades to come here and work which may include speedway. I dont see one league coming about as the CL is pretty good without the PL, there is nothing in it for the CL teams and i dont see any of them subscribing to two fixed race nights.

ch958 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 yes but why Aus/NZ - they will have the same employment status as any nationality, including the current EU nations. I see your point and would like it to happen but has anyone actually considered this and the implications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Stoke gone, Cradley and question mark along with Kent looking to move up it only leaves 5 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will just have to wait till AGM to see what shambles of self interest they come up with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
