Agreed... But those still within it will also be losing what is left of their much stretched, and taken for granted, patience...

I don't think it is. The most recent MA is used, that's clear. His most recent MA is from the Championship in 2025. If the most recent MA is one from both leagues, so for example with Chris Harris for this year, his championship average applies in the championship and his premiership average applies in the premiership. To me that's really clear.

Not many tickets left in the north grandstand seats now about 50 in E,F,G and 2 in A section as B&C sold out.Not much chance of getting a day ticket in the North grandstand.

Fortunately there is absolutely nobody looking, outside of the Speedway bubble

Maybe the delay is down to the quality of team that now can be put out? Have they had certain agreements in place to ensure they don't end up cannon fodder, like so many late arrivals have ended up being down the years? And that now isn't happening? Or, is their last rider also possibly in the Northampton conundrum, so they are awaiting an outcome there..? Whatever the reason, it is (yet another), poor look for UK Speedway...

Again, I was told middle of next week so if we get to the end of next week with no announcement then we can probably assume it’s all gone belly up.

I'm not saying that you're wrong. The point is though, it's open to interpretation. The first phrase, stating the most recent MA counts, is qualified where there are two from the same season - someone must have asked that question. This indicates that if there is a valid Established MA from a previous season, it should be used - and the 2025 Regs said that Established MAs could be used from 23 and 24, which implies that for the 2026 season, they can count Established MAs from 24 & 25. Therefore ... it can be argued that Nicholls' most recent Established MA for the Prem is from 2024. It demonstrates how poor the wording is in the Regs. The new Regs could be different and, of course, could introduce even more debatably-worded gumph.

Defended him but Chris Louis has to take the brunt of the blame now imo. Basically a spur of the moment Club sale that's caused this clown show to drag on and on to a point where it's had an impact on the entire League. He should've put together a 1-7 and remained the owner for 2026 and allowed proper time for a sale to go through. Instead it's all been a very messy job in a race against time, Every statement just results in continuous delays and it has caused Mayfield to be a rabbit in the leadlights whilst leaving Ipswich as a Club on the backfoot. It has also had a knock on effect for the entire League where nothing has been confirmed in regards to League Structure and Fixtures to a point where nobody can get some much needed early season funds in by shifting some season tickets because nobody knows how many bloody fixtures they'll have at Home.

If only this was about speedway.... https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/article/76381/Government-funding-commitment-secured-for-21m-Kings-Lynn-STARS-project?utm_campaign=4274725_News update from Norfolk County Council&utm_medium=email&utm_source=GOSS Interactive Limited on behalf of Norfolk County Council&dm_i=7MO4,2JMED,1HX59G,5JPK8,1,0,0,0

The 4 team league to be run in September & October with the top 4 going to the semi finals

Can someone ask why theyre not running a national league team?

You do have to wonder what the hell is going on, the silence is worrying, have both deals fell through and they don’t have a league ? Mayfield for me are doing themselves no favours if they are taking over Ipswich and in the GPs and the silence from the bspl is staggering,this can’t drag on any longer it needs sorting now, despite all the issues involved in getting it to work they should of gone one big league this year

Is it only me? I am still missing BackTrack Magazine,

This statement was on February 11th. That was 16 days ago... 🙄 This means that the sale of the club can now be completed, and this is expected to happen over the next couple of weeks.

Have had BSN for my elderly parents for the last 4 years and can't fault it for the cost, yeah had a few teething problems with some streams from time to time when it first came along but its got better year on year tbf, my parents who are both 85 love their speedway and have been going regularly to local tracks since the Norwich speedway days, and were season ticket holders at Ipswich, Lynn, P'boro and Mildenhall for many a year before Covid stuck, it's just an easier option for them these days then driving to a meeting and having to sit about in all weather's at their age.

Chris Harris and the Steel Shoe band...

Correct.

The first half of your post clearly explains why Nicholls would sign on his Champ converted ave. So I was surprised for you to then get it the wrong way round at the end? Nicholls most recent MA is his 2025 Plymouth one, so that's what's used - for both leagues.

I always replace a bulb in my lamp.

They don’t have tracks on ships

And if you compare the cost of living, and average salaries, in both countries, then the UK, pro rata, is quite a bit less

I concur re Poland, will be going again this season, several times... I think they miss a great opportunity to use the Manchester city centre as a "GP Hub"... Meet the riders etc.. Well over a hundred thousand people will be going through there on the Friday and Saturday... What an opportunity to not only advertise a "Flagship" event, to create some "Big Event" feel for Speedway, but also, off the back of it, advertise the Aces and UK Speedway in general... And all to an audience who, in the main, won't have a clue who you are, or what you do... A "gift horse" if ever there was one for the Aces.. As for the pricing? I will be watching world class action, with most riders there not riding over here... I woukd rather pay over £60 for that, than around £30 for some contrived, Mickey Mouse, domestic offerings..

Regarding price just had info off a friend who is going to the lodz GP and ticket price is £106 for 2 meetings GP and GP 2 so £125 for 2 GPs is similar price

Not defending the price, but if you book flight seats you don't get child prices
