British Speedway underwent it's third major shake-up of the decade in the 1996-97 close season with the announcement that the 'one big league' set-up of 1995 and 1996 was to be broken down into Elite and Premier Leagues.
This was is direct response to the claim that a one tier set-up was effectively creating a divide of have's and have-nots and did not provide the necessary step-up curve that allowed a Conference League set-up to progress.
