Monarchs don't seem to know either, their pre match piece just says Foord is guesting for him. Article infers that we are doing it to strengthen up. Hausl's Facebook post yesterday makes reference to seeing the German team manager on Saturday and Sunday, so maybe riding for Germany in something? Given that management want us to go and support the team, you'd think that they would do us the courtesy of telling us. In the absence of being told an actual explanation I'm just going to assume that we've told him not to bother coming over for it

Spot on for many its not their main business but as fans they are happy to subsidise a certain amount of annual losses and work on the basis of open the gates for home meetings and 90% of the die hards will turn up with near zero additional local promotion. This can continue to the point where the losses reach an unacceptable level and in most cases a new semi rich fan with deep pockets which haven't yet been emptied is required to come on board and rinse and repeat. Coleman is really saying all the right things really hope he succeeds as I think he is the final roll of the dice for the sport.

Intrigued to know the long term process of 2x U21s. For me, there is no long term. The numbers available now, the potential of more youngsters taking up the game in 5 years whose U21 just isn't there. With the financial position of British Speedway as a whole just can't sustain U21s long term. The U21s (Rising Stars now) is a process that should be just in the Championship. The Premiership, if they want an "inexperienced" reserve system, should be U24. As I've said many times, the pinnacle of our sport SHOULD NOT be a training ground. I don't think you should be a Premiership No7 until you've achieved a 7.00 in the 2nd tier. We've seen far to often, young lads now want to sprint before they can even walk and their careers get killed. We need to protect, slow down and try to get them ready by 25.

The paper aeroplane throwing seemed to amuse the crowd during grading breaks maybe that's what UK speedway is missing. 🙈

From BSPL website: AMA National Championship Top 4 AMA California State Championship Top 4 AMA FIM American Final Winner Results from 2026 AMA Speedway National Championship (Two Rounds) 1-Max Ruml 49, 2-Brady Landon 43, 3-Broc Nicol 40, 4-Wilbur Hancock 29, 5-Aaron Fox 25 Cal State is at Industry in October Not sure FIM American Final is being staged this year. Slater Lightcap came 3rd in 2025 AMA series thus making him eligible for a visa.

That's the strong rumour a 38 point limit

Where’s Hausl? Checked all Tigers’ social media outlets and website, but no one explanation for his non-involvement. Line-up announced, but no clarification on why a rider is missing. Foord is an improvement (Cruz Harris would be an improvement on Hausl, to be fair), but that’s not the point; it’s amateur coverage.

🚨SAVE RYE HOUSE SPEEDWAY - WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR THE APPEAL The Speedway track at Rye House Stadium has been removed and building works carried out without planning permission. East Herts District Council has served an Enforcement Notice and the occupier has appealed against it. The Appeal will be heard on 21-23 October 2026 in the Council Chamber at Wallfields, Pegs Lane, Hertford, SG13 8EQ. Following our application, the nature of part of the Appeal has been changed to an Inquiry and Rye House Action Group is now a Rule 6 Party. That means we can take full part: putting our own evidence to the Inspector, calling witnesses and questioning the other side's case. This is particularly significant because it will allow us to make the case the Local Authority had failed to. This is a very late change and the Appeal is only weeks away. The other parties will have professional representation and we must too. So we have launched a GoFundMe page to raise £40,000 for legal representation and support costs. https://gofund.me/7b9de8c13 We know times are hard for many people and every gift, large or small, makes a difference. If you're not sure what to give, think of the Saturday nights at Rye House you've missed since the racing stopped and what that might mean to you. Every penny raised goes to the Appeal. Any money left over will go to our continuing campaign to bring speedway back to Rye House. Save Coventry Speedway did the same at Brandon in 2023: they took Rule 6 status, funded their case through GoFundMe and saw the developer's appeal dismissed. We want to do it at Rye House too. Please give if you can, and please share this post. The more people who see it, the better our chance of saving Rye House. Donate here: https://gofund.me/7b9de8c13 More at www.ryehouse.racing

Can anyone explain what this means? https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4651908

No it's not. 40pt limit incoming

Vinnie Foord is a Tiger on Friday, no surprise that Hausl's not there. Nick Morris in for Howarth....

I don't really care how we get extra riders just as long as we get them. As I said previously regardless of 1, 2 or 3 leagues, a sport with no competitors is no longer a sport. If Richard Coleman doesn't rock the boat then the boat will sink!

It's gonna be a 38 point limit and possibly 1 or 2 UK riders under 24 / 21

Not bad. Only about 4 or 5 wrong assumptions.😉

Has to be the full seven surely? Top five and two under 21’s at reserve. Coleman all but confirmed the two under 21’s thing didn’t he so seems that one is a goer.

Not followed the U S speedway much but I’m curious of the Visa qualification required to race over here. Is there a National Qualifier to get seedings or is it like Oz where state championships get you a qualification? Just wondering. TIA

It would probably more lies anyway 👍

The ERW is a mad track to watch racing.😂 I don’t know if it’s the same live, but watching on BSN, it doesn’t look like the riders ever go straight; it’s like a big circle. The starts are mad too. It’s like the bikes pull the riders towards the first bend, with gates one or two inevitably hitting the front. Gate four has no chance. Is that just me? This isn’t a criticism; I enjoy meetings at Scunthorpe. Plenty of actions.

A major contributory factor to the current situation is that so many promoters and owners are either ex sponsors of riders, or ex riders... Hence, they come from within the Speedway Bubble... Therefore, they just see the nonsense that pervades as either "perfectly normal" or accept that "there is no other way" as that is all they have been used to... This then becomes custom and practice, and no one then sees the harm it is doing to the sport long term... New ideas, new pairs of eyes, and a new operating model, all coming into the sport, is long, long overdue..

Hope you enjoy the racing, Kevin and Jan are going up. Come on the Pirates. A close safe meeting is what we want.

As it could be "Poland and Sweden and one more", now, maybe home and away twice to give double the matches that Denmark offer?...

Same thoughts .. Although the two U21 riders would now mean at least six in the top tier teams I would think..

Possible idea for next season, Lawson Kennet Cairns Cooper King Slater Landon This is assuming Beau Bailey isn’t heading over and it’s a 40 limit

Well great I look forward to watching Friday nights great racing, unfortunately it'll be via BSN and not live.

I admire your glass-half-full perspective, but IMO, you’re rationalising bad performances. How anyone can defend Hausl, Harris or Flint is beyond me. The track is the same for Harris as it is for every other rider. If 16 year-old Ryan Ingram can pass Leon Flint (a disgrace from our number one) at Scunthorpe, then I expect Harris to be able to do the same.
