Sorry to hijack the thread but just thought I'd flag there will be a speedway event in King's Lynn on Thursday November 20, namely an Evening with Nicki Pedersen. It's being held at the Duke's Head Hotel in King's Lynn and you can buy tickets (£20 and £40 for VIP) via sportingknights.co.uk/events Cheers

Hi all Just thought I'd flag this Sporting Knight that's coming up next month with Nicki Pedersen at the Duke's Head Hotel in King's Lynn. It's been great doing some speedway events out at Northwold Sports & Social Club over the past few years but I am looking forward to returning home to Lynn - and the Duke's. Would love to see some of you there if you fancy it and a big shout out to Roger Warnes Transport and Poultec for sponsoring the evening and continuing to back the sport. Tickets cost £20 and £40 (for VIP) and can be purchased via https://sportingknights.co.uk/events/

Over a quarter of a million views on two YouTube channels (so far), of Wright v Allen fighting... There is interest if those who run it can facilitate something that can prick the interest of those who are not regular followers... Whether they have the required skill set to do so, is a different matter...

4TT held in Switzerland Israel Palestine Russia Ukraine If that don't get the eyes of the World watching then the sport is dead on it's feet.

What's former lion symon wozniak done?

Andy's Elsworth track was brilliant, pity it closed down. Andy was always on hand for a chat, very nice bloke.

My hopes for 2026.. Someone new to ride at No.1. What's Mr Cook doing these days.... Only Joking 😄 Batchelor to ride at No.5, on his 6.80 average and not riding at No.1 he will be a really good signing. Disagree with anyone who thinks otherwise! Some returning faces, except for Fraser Bowes. Hope he travels in a fried out kombi. Track to be setup more like 2024, British U19 Final showed what it should be like Batchelor to not be assistant Track Curator Some form of prestigous meeting held at the GT Tyres Arena BSN Series to be re jigged, Boring facing only Redcar and Scunthorpe in early season meetings Bring back the Border Trophy More guarranteed Home meetings, wishful thinking! As for a No 1, anyone who doesn't fit in at Berwick, Glasgow, Redcar will do.

Who are these 'weaker teams'? Brum & Ox are gone and Lynn didn't want a lower limit this year so almost certainly won't for 2026.

Admission prices won’t drop though to match the drop in standard.

you missed Rich Lawson 😉

We definitely don’t pay close to what some do, can tell you that for a fact 😂.

These teams suggested if there's a 36 point limit look pretty decent to me. Maybe could make for a more exciting league if there's more riders of a similar ability competing.

But they don't charge me twenty seven quid to watch it happen...

Yeah agree, Antti has talent no doubt, his equipment rarely lets him down and his attitude seems very good and he comes across as professional. Generally very good at Northside and slightly improved away, He just needs to have more confidence in himself, gate better more often and want it a bit more if he is to achieve his potential. Tate surely a shoe in for next season, I would hope he has learned a lot from a disappointing season and be better prepared in 2026. Like Antti, he needs to work on sharpening up his gating.

I’ll get me chainsaw

Showing your age then 😂

If it is to be 1 league (still to be decided) then I would love to see Dan the Man spearhead his local team, that would be fantastic.

J Grahn stays at Indianerna.

In woodlands management some of the larger trees need to be chopped down now and again in order to let the sunlight get through and the saplings to grow

I’m riding something better than a Wessie now, I’m riding a 1952 jap 4B, I will be having a blast up in those hills soon

Sad news. Best wishes to Mike and family. I can remember many years ago, Andy turning up at Saddlebow Road with his MX bike, and going a lap on the back wheel for the crowd.

If they wanted to lower the cost, wouldn't adding a 2nd "rising star" be more beneficial than removing the system completely?

Add in that we have lost 15 teams in the past decade.... Wolves, Coventry, Birmingham, Somerset, Lakeside, Rye House, Peterborough, Swindon, Stoke, Newcastle, Eastbourne, Oxford (top tier), and the IOW and Mildenhall, (NORA), (Kent got replaced 'ish'), and Cradley stopped riding at Wolves, and you have to wonder what standard we would have today if all these teams were in any of the 3 leagues, given the lack of rider numbers.. As the song goes... "The Only Way Is Up!!!".. Edit. Add in Buxton, but they are coming back.. (Dean, get that Wessie out, you are their No1!!!)...😁

I think Tom is nailed on to be back tbh. 50/50 on Danny and the club, I think he/they will either want him to race for Ipswich the rest of his career or he/they will see this season as mission complete and pursue a change of scenery for Danny and make space for the next generation of long term witches riders to remain. doyle 7.86 King 6.50 rew 6.19 ellis 5.92 tom 7.05 thompson 5.87 edwards/rushen RS 39.39 as much as I’d love to see Emil ride here for years to come if the team building regs are as per this season I can see this being our most likely team lineup. We’ve got to shed points and this keeps team continuity from our rider base from the past few seasons. if Emil were to come back emil 8.21 thompson 5.87 tom 7.05 ellis 5.92 Doyle 7.86 5.09 left edwards/rushen RS best options for me would be blodorn 4.87 or jeppesen 4.34 if jeppesen then one of Ellis or Thompson could be rew or king
