Plymouth v Poole 1/08/2026
SteveLyric2 replied to SteveLyric2's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Zach Cook signed his Polish contract before Poole's as he wasn't intending to do Championship in 2026, as he announced at the end of 2025 season. It was only the uncertainty of the Premiership's future with decisions delayed to Jan '26 that made him change his mind (helped no doubt by Middlo offering encouraging words). Cook made it perfectly clear that he would not be available for certain Pirates fixtures if his Polish club Lodz required him. -
I'm all for hard riding,it's his reckless and out of control riding from him I don't like.There's riders like Zmarzlik,Doyle,Lindgren who ride hard but 95% of the time they are in control of what they are doing. If there were 16 riders like Woryna in the GP's,you would probably only end up with half of them at the end of the series.

Wow, that's very strong from you Wayne!! The only one attempting to 'call me out' as you put it is you - The Plymouth stalker strikes again. Sunday lunchtime in the pub again? Enjoy your nap.zzzzz -
British Speedway is just a circus, I look at the GB speedway site every day to check out results and almost every day its the same, oh where is so and so, why wasnt so and so riding, they were fit and riding the previous day etc etc

That attitude is exactly why UK speedway gets shoved to the bottom of everyone's priorities. Cook has signed a contract with your club, he should honour it. Why are you not p1ssed off that he's decided he couldn't be bothered to make it work, so has just dumped your club? Instead it's just "oh well, Plymouth is rubbish anyway lol 🤷🏻♂️" and no blame apportioned to the rider who didn't turn up. He's happy to take the money when it suits him, but not when another club comes along offering more money. I'd almost guarantee that if it was an important individual meeting (that benefitted Cook himself) at Plymouth, and he had to make it to Poland this afternoon, the travel options would miraculously appear. - Today

Premiership 2027 - Are You Interested??
MattB replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Promoters attitude towards fans who stop attending seems to "Well they're no great loss". When the sport is hemorrhaging clubs and fans at an ever increasing rate of knots, the last they should be is half-soaked about lapsed fans. Instead of having slopy-shoulders or even worse, criticising fans for not coming, FIND OUT why they don't come anymore -

Almost impossible for a" team "to drop the average,can be done individually eg supposedly lawson but only by penalising a team mate,as a team how would you work out or agree on who's going to get the bonus point,even 3 -3s could get feisty,and of course could be dangerous (of course a teams average can go down if they're rubbish) -
Hi King Jamie the answer to your question is I simply dont know. On the face of it was a failing previously and I would hope harsh lessons were learned and proper remedial action and accounting steps were taken to prevent it happening again. Like you state if the same mistakes are repeated then that would indeed be unforgiveable and negligent. There is nothing old fashioned about expecting company officials to carry out their duties on time, nothing less should be expected . Without access to full audited financial accounts it is all just smoke and mirrors and chinese whispers regarding the financial situation of the club. We as supporters take information from our club in good faith without knowing any of the actual detail.

Ive also been thinking about ways that they could save the sport and reduce costs. More consistent fixtures would be a good start. Id also cap wages and, if the top dogs dont want to ride for that amount, let them go. I'd rather see current middle pack riders move up to no.1 than have no speedway at all.

Lodz GP round 7 Saturday 1st August
TTT replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Been a very good GP series this year despite all of the injuries, If Bewley, Holder and Lindgren were fully fit and competing in every round then the World Title race would've been more than a three horse race. Best GP season for a good while imo and as a Brit it's just what was needed considering how bad our domestic League is this year. -
If they do sign for polish teams any replacement can only be NDL should be a new rule

Are you sure? Its one of Lewy's 'facts'!🤣 Maybe, just maybe Zach was assisting Brady Kurtz in the SGP Lodz pits??😇 -
Workington v Berwick 02/08/2026 Championship 3pm .
Bagpuss replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Error by me. -
Someone on updates was saying Andrew has ploughed over £600k into Worky from the start so you can't fault his heart and commitment if that is true. If this Poland and one other league situation in 2027 is true UK speedway will be forced into making some hard decision next year whether they like it or not. If the current second division ends up going back to the standard of the national league a few years back before the powers that be obliterated it, that could be a good thing. One old hand per team, 4-5 English youngsters and maybe a couple of young aussies like the lad at reserve for Berwick who are committed to being in the UK the full season could be the way forward. Whatever way you slice it if you can't get more punters/sponsors in through the door, the costs are going to need to come down by a third to a half.

Seeing Luke,cooper and will on BSN is always a joy. So enthusiastic and loads of charisma. Great to see them progress. Darren Thompson dad of the twins is always brilliant with letting kids have photos on the bikes. I guess once the pressures of deadlines of getting to airports starts it unfortunately changes things.

All this missing meetings here to be in Poland stuff has to stop next year, as I've said several times before the BSPL need to grow a set and veto signings where riders are going to be absent regularly, and in the case of FIM meetings organise the fixtures much, much better. -
