If they think the Panthers fans will accept this, they are off their rocker. If they want a war, they'll get one.

The war if there is one will be akin to a 7 year kid with a wooden sword vs a super power with nukes......

Good luck

A multi million pound indoor leisure facility planned?

Sounds promising...

A Speedway track with a roof, just what is needed...

Maybe they will base it on the one Bradford had planned?.. 

"The Superdome" wasnt it? ;)

Soon to be another calender year but somethings just dont change with the uncertainties surrounding the track , 

Most of the U.K. population doesn’t even know Speedway exists which was highlighted in the star this week when it was mentioned that England won team of the year in the BBC sports personality awards when finishing as runners up in the European Championships whilst the England Speedway Team that won Gold at Belle Vue this year didn’t even get a mention in the whole 90 minute program.

Not the BBC,s finest hour.

Great Britain or England, I can accept either, team GB is just a a play with words, I don’t subscribe to this sort of hype.

I suggest you ask Scottish speedway fans who they would have been rooting for if it was England, not Team GB. I suspect I know the answer. They are educated enough to realise the massive difference.

The Scots  like most Gaelic nations would do anything to get one over England. They forget that it was England that was landed with a Scottish King not the other way round.  

Myself as half Irish have always thought of the UK as one entity and have never understood the reluctance of Scotland, Ireland and Wales not to do the same.  I will support England in sporting events etc but also hope the other members of the UK do well,

Wikipedia or the BSPL,s own website both show the 2021 SON winners as Great Britain.

Same as sky appear to do.

Unless they show a sport they lose interest in giving info

The SON winners are indeed Great Britain. Even if they were Team GB, the winners would still be Great Britain - same as Olympic winners.  The British Olympic Association actually has Team GB as a commercial trademarked name - that might be why the speedway equivalent is now known as the GB Speedway Team:  https://gbspeedwayteam.com/
