At last, it's all done and dusted- and what a fantastic night it was for JT/Fox Oxford Cheetahs as they celebrated landing the Sky Sports Elite League title.

It was a pity about the performance in the finale against Coventry, but with the title safely tucked away, the lads seemed to have more on their minds than beating the Bees.

Nevertheless, there was some cracking good speedway and it came from none other than Oxford's 'Mr Dependable' Leigh Adams, who has been as solid as a rock from day one.

All that was left was the presentation and, once Kirsty Gallacher had handed over the trophy, all hell let loose with no holds barred in the celebrations.

But now promoters Steve and Vanessa Purchase have to turn their minds to more serious matters with the prospect of Elite League teams only being allowed one Grand Prix rider next season because of the expanding GP series.

It's obvious that with Oxford having three GP stars in their current team, they will be the hardest hit along with the likes of Peterborough, King's Lynn, Coventry and Ipswich, if Chris Louis is seeded through.

Two of Cheetahs' stars, Leigh Adams and Todd Wiltshire, have expressed their fears and put forward ideas about what should be done.

Adams said: "It's going to be a funny old winter, it's going to be tough, it really is.

"It makes it more difficult now that Lukas is in the GP as well. It's a tough one and I think it's just going to be a case of sitting back, waiting and see what happens.

"It's always been the same with British speedway. They never seem to make up their mind until right at the end of the winter what they are going to do.

"But they seen pretty adamant that they are going along with the one GP rider per club.

"I think the British League has got too many meetings anyway, around 45 per club.

"I think that maybe they could have ten teams, one home and away fixture, a knockout cup series and maybe a play-off series along the lines of Sweden.

"I know a lot of clubs have got contracts with stadiums to run a certain amount of meetings, so it's going to be tough on all parties."

Wiltshire added: "God knows what is really going to happen, I really don't know.

"Like many people I have got some ideas on how they can compromise on the whole situation, but the GP are coming on strong now and they have offered ten meetings.

"It's no secret that they have always been planning to do that, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Certainly the two parties have got to work together and make it work for everybody.

"What effect it will have on the Elite League is anybody's guess. Sky certainly won't want to show matches without the top boys riding.

"It's going to effect everybody involved. I think there are four teams - Coventry, Eastbourne, Oxford and Peterborough - who have got to try and come up with another race-night.

"Then every second week we would be at Oxford. If Steve and Vanessa Purchase can negotiate to run on a Wednesday night and leave the other teams riding on their normal nights it wouldn't be so bad.

"It's sad, because we could lose our main sponsor Sky. They won't want to run shows without Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump and the rest of the boys."

BSI chief executive John Poselthwaite said: "This new exciting calendar reflects the progress we have made in just two years.

"Our GP events and the relaunched SWC team event saw a 170 per cent increase in attendances this year, with over 100 countries taking live or highlight television pictures of all our events.

"Our belief that this event is the most exciting televised motorsport in the world is beginning to get through to fans and television viewers alike."
