JOHN Louis has admitted he wouldn't know which way to go if British speedway wanted to introduce once-a-week' speedway.

The Ipswich co-owner and former British champion agreed his club could be staging just one home Elite League meeting a fortnight next season.

Then Louis, father of ex-Grand Prix star Chris, said: "If you asked me now how I would vote on running at home once a fortnight I would have to say that I don't know.

"It would depend on a number of factors.

"But there are moves afoot to go down this route, and it is something we have to consider.

"At Foxhall we have an agreement with our landlords Spedeworth to stage a minimum of meetings, and this would have to be looked at.

"Whether staging a Conference League home meeting every other week would be a success - I have my doubts.

"In my 40 years in the sport, British speedway has existed on a home every week basis. But times do change."

Pirates boss Matt Ford believes "it is inevitable" domestic Elite League speedway will mimic Sweden and Poland by running once-a-week' with each club having alternate home fixtures.
