Welcome back to the championship. 
 

Good to see a team move up. 
 

your top 2 if correct are pretty solid and will do a good job for you

And Premiership not championship. Come on @PhilTheAce sort it out lol

Phil has employed the Belle Vue legal team and 2022 will now last 24 months 

Also as they are Belle Vue they can call the leagues what the hell they like. Don't like it? - See you in court.....

Will need to provide a better race track.....

Track has consistently produced the best Speedway I have seen anywhere this year... and riders from better teams than Birmingham will be visiting, so it's not a problem :D

But last time the Lions went up midweek crowds were pretty gash, so it strikes me as a bit of a risk.

Good luck to the Lions and their Promoters.

It's a very professional set up and the Track has improved massively this year. I suspect a lot more focus from Dickson on the Track and fewer Training Days may be the  reason as a lot of the Riders who used to flock there to train have been busy enough competitively.

The Bates  brothers will know all about PL costs from Sheffield and previous experience at Leicester.

Their well thought out logic about rival attractions on a Saturday from SGP / Footy and Rugby make emminent sense actually, a very well supported Soccer Club and a lot of people forget the best supported Rugby Club in England on the doorstep.

Thursday nights should work for them and they shouldn't have too much bother getting a competitive Team together - possibly a few big hitters too who aren't currently in PL.

Some people will always knock and hate but it seems to be eminently sensible to me and good luck to them.

It remains to be seen if Glasgow will bite the bullet and join them. An 8 Team PL and an 8 Team CL would seem a much better balance to me than the current 6 and 10. It may allow CL to be far fairer in terms of heat leader allocation rather than 2-3 Clubs mopping up disproportianate top end strength.

Good that they will continue with the NDL too where they have some exciting 15-16 year olds starting to come through also.

Yes, I must admit I'm pretty nonplussed about the move up but it probably makes sense based on the geographical locations of the other clubs in the top league. I kind of liked the 7pm start time also, especially with the length of time it takes Leicester to run meetings... they'll have to pull their fingers out on a school night

Would love to see Vaculik and Przedpelski come back and give it a proper go at BP

Or any other rider of that standard....
