End of Feb and the top tier of British Speedway still hasn't confirmed how many teams will be running. Final nail in the coffin.

Comets press and practice day announced for Sunday 29th march 11.30 UTC 😀🔵⚪🏁

So that is the deffo six mentioned is it? Beings you said waiting to hear the final rider.

Doesn’t need to be does it? You don’t need to be Nostradamus to predict where this prospective team finishes. It currently finishes bottom of the five. Everyone can see it, just like everyone could see Birmingham and Oxford would be finishing at the bottom last year. The one caveat, is nothing has been confirmed team wise and we await to see who the final rider is,,

A wheel ain’t been turned yet!

No competition

Champs to chumps in the blink of an eye. Quite an amazing turnaround really.

Not coming to the tapes then?

Would be lucky to even make it to the foot of the table.

No idea. All we know is the BSPL issued a post AGM statement confirming Ipswich’ participation in the 2026 season.

Ipswich Speedway Promtions Ltd committed to run at the AGM. Just the same as King's Lynn Speedway Ltd did (and the companies which promote Belle Vue, Leicester and Sheffield). Any could be sold at any time, but they all committed.

Sounds like the forum and top flight speedway are run shoddily and on their way out

Nobody is getting banned... there's no bloody moderators to ban anybody 😂

Was it "Ipswich" that made the commitment, as legally at that time, the owner was probably C.Louis who had made his intentions (or rather his non-intentions) very clear. In which case did the BSPL knowingly make that announcement without being on safe and solid ground, taking a risk on the sale proceeding to satisfactory completion and keeping fingers crossed behind their backs?

I cannot believe he has been made a scapegoat. It was quoted on here that he hasn’t brought much to the forum. I can see some running now and backtracking on other pages he’s added a lot to the forum.

Foot of the table side

Fackin ell', what has happened to the good ol' 'British Thick Skin'? We've had irritating members for decades. No idea what the Championship threads are like now Poole are over there but a couple of their lot used to be on every thread day in, day out, rattling people. I can be antagonistic, but who on here isn't now & again. There's ignore &/or don't respond. 100%, there's absolutely zero need for banning anyone. The biggest problem on this forum (and other social media platforms) is the 'gatekeeping' because you don't like someone elses opinions & the inability to be able to say your piece & move on. Some just can't help going on & on just to "win" the argument. This "Spammer" is by far & away this forums smallest problem.

Hope he’s gone now. Not posted for a while.

If Thorssell isn’t happening, there’s 4.60 left for rider seven. Your suggestion, or Jenkins, seem to be the only options. I was told yesterday the other six in your team was done. And the source is as good as it gets. MAYBE, they’ll have a rethink if the planned seventh rider is now off the table.

To be fair, Ipswich committed to racing this year at the AGM in early January and were confirmed starters. There’s nothing that’s been said that that commitment was dependent on a sale of the club being completed.

There's no asset system anymore, so no one is being held back. I was told at weekend, that Ipswich news should be released middle of this week (I assumed to go in Thursday's Speedway Star) but things seem very hush-hush. Sources who are normally happy to spill the beans, are staying very silent, as if sworn to secrecy. Apparently there are no problems, and I can only think the new promotion was absolutely everything to be in place before they reveal anything. I don't know why they can't confirm the sale has been completed, even if the team isn't totally finalised yet. Are they planning a spectacular reveal of everything? Again, I can't even get them to confirm any team names, but I'll have a guess at: Tom Brennan 7.05 Richard Lawson 6.83 Tobiasz Musielak 6.63 Danny King 6.50 Scott Nicholls 5.25 Jonas Jeppesen 4.34 Jason Edwards R/S = 36.60

Thinking back to much better and happier times late 90s early noughties both Ipswich and Northampton would have been given a 31st January deadline to give a definite intention to race if not by that date that would have been it until the following season but we are in very desperate times in 2026 even if it’s at best a 6 team league unless there is a rabbit out of the hat signing the top 4 in the league already sorted .

He was, but that was before his injury that saw him spend most of last year out injured. In all of the guest appearances he made at Foxhall for the Injured Doyle two seasons ago, he didn’t hit a single double figure score. Pretty sure I saw that stat somewhere.

Sweet dreams are made of this. Eurythmics Dreams. Fleetwood Mac I'm a dreamer. Livin joy

It will be Bomber... Every. Single. Time....
