Davie is well-known to real Tigers fans, hence we generally ignore his posts. On the other hand Bomber is absolutely loved.

Maybe need some grading? Eg If you cannot get an 'A' grade you get 2 x 'B's'.. With a mean average so no team can get the best rider in every grade? Scrap the RS system as, even in a five rider team, the No5 rider will be pretty much "development" level I would think... There will need to be lots of "greater good" compromise I would suggest for it to work...

#SHEIPS League match scheduled for 25 Sept ...

i really have no idea what it might be. 28 for five man teams?

Obviously the sun has frazzled his bonsai tree!

Well... you don't exclude GP riders for no reason, you set a realistic points limit that makes it affordable for all. That's the theory anyway.

Umm, we won on aggregate last night 110-70 thanks @Neila

Lol at the masters comment!

If they are going with one big league it has to be without GP riders or the teams that are top four now will still be top four how can Berwick and Workington for instance afford GP riders will teams be able to choose their preferred race day, because if not you will have a small top league and a much larger bottom league

Now now don't be getting too excited, still got to win on aggregate, and you couldn't do that against the comets 🙃 enjoy your flat white, while I enjoy a 🍺 in ibiza

Has it - I thought they were separate, and distinct legal entities.

Harris is a great rider and servant to British speedway. I was there with 40,000 other when Bomber won the 2007 Cardiff GP. What a ride! He has been great and rarely injured. He was talking about retiring several years ago. Glad he didn’t. Needs a huge testimonial meeting when he does hang up his Kevlars.

A chance to do the radical reset that should have taken place post Covid... Let's hope they have learned from the mistakes they made the last time they made "one big league", and every team gets to be competitive this time...

Here he is the Poole legend! Along with Shovvy of course!

Cant believe anyone would moan about Harris, always puts in max effort when it matters, his scores dont always reflect it but you cannot fault his attitude. When he retires it will be a sad day for all of us, nobody puts bums on seats more than Bomber.

Glad Oxford are putting there club first. This and the sad departure of Birmingham closing has forced the BSPAs hand. One major League is a gamble but it's a necessary change, because what we have now isn't working. I hope something is sorted that benefits all supporters and the clubs financial futures..

Blimey, we'll be on to Septemberfield by time the new season rolls around.

Having all 3 teams "viable" must have been a huge challenge, and would, no doubt,impact who they could bring in for the top tier team.. Especially given the very few "top riders" willing to ride over here at an "affordable price"...

Oxford can't enter the Premiership. There isn't going to be one! Forthcoming change of league structure means Spires are not running.

Well it worked last season, just not this season. While the novelty factor was always going to wear off, I honestly think Oxford should have a good look at how they went about it. Poor team building, shocking team management and getting trounced every week are not a good recipe for success. Most Oxford fans I spoke to actually enjoyed the weekly speedway, but their enthusiasm waned as the season progressed for the reasons mentioned above.

With or without riders doubling up being allowed?

On the Oxford website it says that the Spires won't be continuing due to... exciting developments in British Speedway... To me, that suggests that next season there will only be one major league... the right way to go in my opinion...

Size of Mount Everest.

Then Remove your ear muffs now.😂

As the last couple of years team build limit has been set at 40 but teams will always end the season centred on 42, a 5% increase (2/40) is to be expected and doesn't suggest the an improved performances
