They would have had to reduce the points limit, which would have forced three clubs in particular to drop one of their big guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham wouldn't then be in the top division. Both Birmingham & Oxford are only there because those 2 clubs have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford yes, but Birmingham moved up due to race night restrictions not primarily because they wanted to, theres always the possibility that Lynn would of dropped down as well i suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Peterborough and Wolverhampton sadly closed, the other clubs then realised they might not get any TV money and Oxford were miraculously welcomed with open arms in 2024. Funny that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if this is correct (I'm not saying it isn't) and if Panthers are ever back on track, then they might not be welcomed back into the Premiership?

Crump99 Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Refusal for homes is to be reviewed A final decision on controversial plans to build 650 homes on a section of the East of England Showground that was home to speedway racing for 50 years is expected next year, it has been revealed. Peterborough City Council says its appeals committee is unlikely to meet until January to review the decision made on October 15 by the local authority’s planning committee to refuse permission for the homes. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/decision-on-650-homes-plan-for-speedway-land-at-east-of-england-showground-expected-in-new-year-4888020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 If Coventry, Peterborough, Wolverhampton were to be revived as we all hope that they will be, their only option would be a league lower that the Premiership. If they were admitted to the top league, it could only be through a massive reduction in the points limit which the existing Premiership clubs would be loathe to accept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one out of the three clubs mentioned did come back, that would replace Brum, & if two came back, possibly a team would drop down. Although I would love all three teams to come back, it's highly unlikely in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitch Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 So has Keir Starmer's new 300,000 houses a year policy made it more difficult for the Panthers. How much is it going to affect the next council meeting, set to be held on January 13th 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
