Thanks for that IainB, most informative, you’ve clearly got too much spare time on your hands😄. So sad that the sport is down at 16th but we shouldn’t be too surprised. That said, the BSPL are probably celebrating and looking down their noses at those passionate about dominoes, cribbage, table skittles, angling and sheep dog trials!

based on your summary of value Sheffield will be paying people to buy the club!!!

Sheffield are suggesting that good news might be around the corner, so hopefully either Chris Louis has agreed a sale, or the other clubs are just cracking on without Ipswich.

Just as well we don't race on here 🤣🤣🤣 time will tell.

I've changed my mind and now believe all the figures are 100% correct I've just undertaken a similar search and the response to "how much does a Premiership/Championship speedway rider earn" almost exactly matched those I estimated in my thread on why the Championship needs the Premiership Infact I'm now convinced the AI response must have used my post as its source

Lose not Loose, two totally different meanings

Bellego signs for Rospiggarna C Selvin signs for Vargarna

Best to ignore the rumours, all will be revealed soon enough...

Wolbert would be class in the championship

Christ, you were on that quickly. I hadn’t even pressed confirm on the edit!

At least Speedway beats Kabaddi...

Yes but he hadn’t been announced when he posted that had he.

Victor was signed for Berwick edit. Sorry realise this post was before it was announced

Spotty git. 😉🤣

Just 'hopefully' at the moment...

Has anyone closer to Ipswich got any information on the sale of the club and the prospect of Ipswich being able to come to the tapes in 2026? All I'm hearing is that there's still the same consortium (which involves at least one sponsor - but not Guy Nicholls) that is interested in buying it, with an offer they put in a while back, but Chris Louis is still pondering the next move. Is he putting an unrealistic value on the club because he doesn't want to quit? Companies House values the club balance sheet at £3,417, but rumour has it that Louis is asking for about 60 times this amount!

Phew!!

The 9 championship clubs will stick together to protect themselves, as they have some form of business acumen. One big league could work, but it most definitely is not feasible to try and plan in December, it needs to be decided in the summer ready for the following season, and it may well be that this happens next year ready for 2027 like you say. But Ipswich, and Belle Vue, need to realise that it is unsustainable to continue to bring in GP superstars, forcing teams who can’t financially afford to compete to go to the wall and go under for the sake of two or three clubs.

With Speedway's focus seeming to be switching towards betting, could it go the same way as Greyhounds i.e. daytime meetings ran in front of minimal crowds for a far eastern sports betting markets?

Probably based on promoters tax returns 😉 I'm joking I'm joking interesting stats. I wonder what happens if TV viewing figures were added?

Fans from other teams breathing a sigh of relief! 😂

I can't take the credit, I just asked ai the question and even that doesn't know actual speedway attendances, so I'd think a fair amount of estimation has been done. Ps. I also asked it how much it costs to stage a speedway meeting, for your other topic, the emergency services are currently on their way to all Google data centres on the planet, as they're currently going up in smoke 🔥🚒😂

Upset who? Never heard of these pilots, Ryanair?

Dual Nationality 💪

Desperate move
