I thought the playoff SF was on 5th Oct??

Good post. Be interesting to see all these riders who can’t make it pay in GB are going to make their money abroad. (and get paid on time ,or at all)

Put a pin in it. How green do you think I am?

Yup!!!

Are you at a zoo

That last paragraph is a great point. Part of what makes pre-season so interesting. For the comments saying Glasgow should have gone with a stronger reserve, I've not seen any suggestions of which top rider they should have gone without to fit a better reserve in.

Your problem here is that Poole and Glasgow are run by very successful businessmen who have no interest in losing lots of money just to keep the dying Premiership going. Where would you get the very large sums needed to persuade them to move up from? The Premiership has been living well beyond its means for years and is no longer sustainable. If the top level of British speedway is now to be roughly Championship level so be it, still a lot better than no speedway

I 100% agree some of the things I read in Bowes' statement were out of order & no rider should be subjected to them. Had he said he was sitting out if the rest of the season due to mental health issues, I'd be full of sympathy. But as he said he was still willing to ride at Poole, but apparently can't be bothered to turn up for Workington, I'd say good riddance to him if I were a Comets fan & we don't need riders like that over as a British Speedway fan.

Take out the big name riders and British Speedway won't exist in 2027, The promoters would get 1 dreadful year out of it and that's it. Barely anyone will fork out £20+ for a ticket, Couple of quid for a Programme, Couple of quid for Parking and a few quid for food and drink to see a watered down product that'll mostly feature NDL riders and journeyman. Do we trust the Promoters to listen? Absolutely NOT! They never listen and that's why British Speedway is in it's current state.

I doubt if Harry Redknapp knows enough about speedway to bring in new major sponsors so your comments are just speculation. Glasgow is owned by very successful businessmen who I can't see risking their future by joining the premiership until it would be viable for them. Again, why would Recar or Plymouth want to take the same risk? If this did happen, the Championship, as the most viable current league, would be so depleted it would be no better off than the current Premiership

your probably trying to justify it to a poster that hasn't seen either of them ride this year

You said compooter I said Commoode. (Commode).😂

Just hope the Rolling Stones can join the status quo. Ticket sales will go through the roof.

Ok fair enough.

The Bears operated Ryder replacement, of course it’s true.

A league without Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Kurtz, Bewley, Fricke, Holder, etc can only be poorer for their absence. Ipswich have always had a decent fan base, but I am certain that attendances in the Doyle/Sayfutdinov era have been markedly better than before their arrival. I would also wager that they have put some additional bums on seats at away tracks as well. Dumb it down at your peril.

brennan quite rightly peeved at losing 2 of his rides when wozniak and loktaiev got 5 ,i know who was fastest of them 3 yesterday , they look after their own in polska

I thought baby sitting for grandchildren was pathetic also

Region Varde have signed Beau Bailey for 2026.

If you missed yesterday’s action- watch these 30 heats !! They are both sensational matches.

That's odd. People are making fun of you but, I heard this rumour a few months ago.

What medication are you on ?

Would be nice to see some new blood particularly ‘local’ riders representing their clubs.

Why not ? if you believe half the crap that’s posted on this forum then you got to believe one of the genuine posts !

Well it’s true he works at a golf club in Thirsk and had work that specific day, he tried to swap his shifts to have the Sunday off but wasn’t able too as other staff had already booked the day off for the Ryder cup. I don’t see why he would lie about something like that 🤣 if he was available he would of guested as it’s extra money
