If Nilsson is 4.5 then give Ippo the title now!! 😀

IF Nilsson is on 4.5, didn't other team's have the opportunity to tempt him over?

It wouldn't be a shock would it??. Obviously nothing has been confirmed yet, however, it does look like a current GP rider is being assessed as just 50% better than a RS... A quite ludicrous situation, however, as with so many things they do, they paint themselves into a corner by over complicating things, and end up adding more and more additions for what is, after all, just a team sport... If only they spent as much time promoting and marketing the sport as they do writing, and rewriting, rules and regs...

Said on the King press release more in the coming days and weeks so they’re obviously going to spread out the announcements. Probably get another during the week.

Any predictions for the team line up next season??

Oxford are the stronger top 3, what progress Flint, Thompson and Kileen do or don't make will determine who is the stronger top 4. The big question is what back up can these clubs give their top 4? Big pressure on the top 4 to deliver heat wins unless they can find a bottom 3 to punch above their weight. Both could lose a lot of 5-1s in heats 2 and 8, putting pressure on their 3 and 4 pairing to deliver heat advantages to get them in position to win in heats 13 and 15. I suspect that both are too top heavy to win the playoffs.

It's not easy to judge Riss as he's had a few illness effected seasons, but given his previous scores for Oxford, seems a worthwhile pick as a second string on his reduced converted average. It's also less risky being signed by a Prem club than a Champ club (same scenario as Craig Cook) as its easier to find a spare second string for the Prem, than a heat leader for the Champ.

Definitely someone with that kind of name in the past get some stuff right as an "in the know" Hopefully find out soon, when we reckon next announcement?

010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - a) riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (the table in 10.2.2 will be used as a reference, the MA may be increased or decreased) Kim has been away for more than 3 seasons. The BSP Ltd will use table 10.2.2 for reference. Kim’s average may be increased. Nothing needs rewriting or if it does, please advise. I’d be more than happy for Ipswich to included 37 year old (at the start of the season) Kim in their squad.

It seems certain people know who grmek is signing for and how much he's being paid,amazing how they find this stuff out.

I don't like the rule as it benefits riders who "abandon" British Speedway rather than the ones who race every season. I could understand increasing an average as a rider may have improved, but wouldn't lower aves.

What’s utterly disappointing is that if there is a smell of silverware some fans will allow there management to do whatever the hell they like. Rarely if ever do they respond to a point with clear logic and links to back it up favouring bad language and name calling. During my time on here I’ve had these conversations with fans from Coventry, Birmingham, Eastbourne, Lakeside, Oxford, Peterborough, Reading, Rye House, Somerset, Swindon & Wolverhampton.

I see that myself, wasn’t he or she a reliable poster here too? And if memory serves me right, got their information from Rob Lyon? I could be completely making that up! The Lynn fans will probably know. @Bagpuss

No idea, just been told its a no no for 2027, lets hope for 2028.

Even better with a 12 point average

Even better today that GP rider would look good if his bike allowed him to do a few laps

Don't forget hankies 😄

Think that’ll be more accurate! And would you bet against them now hastily altering the regs for 2027?

Any idea on which league M.D ?

Five Promoters (on speaker) - "Hi Richard, I believe you've signed Kim Nilsson and want him on a 4.5 average?" Richard - "Yes that's right" Five Promoters - "And why do you think that this should be allowed?".. Richard - "Because its in the regs, the regs most of you wrote".. (30 seconds pause).. One of the Five Promoters - 'Quick! Someone get me an effing pen"!!!

So from the rumoured line ups,who do we think is the strongest top 4 Oxford Masters,Brennan,Howarth and Killeen Glasgow Flint,Harris,Thompson and Rowe ??? I feel that Oxford are the strongest.

Hope to see as many of you as possible next Saturday at the speedway show, a couple more teams and riders have joined and if nothing else is a good catch up, one other thing which I think sums up the mentality that is rife in the BSPL,a response to an email to the organisers from a promotion said”that time of year is time to sit back and forget about speedway” well when their supporters think it’s time to forget about speedway of which judging by their crowds most have who have they got to blame

You mean everyone. Not our lot as you say.

It's sour grapes though Phil. The way your lot are going on anyone would think Mayfield are signing Lindgren on a 6.00.
