Maybe... However... The Promoters didn't develop enough riders over the past two decades to fill their teams without the DU riders becoming essential... What first started as "young lads" getting a chance to move up a league to develop their skills against a higher level of riders, whilst still having their "other job" to fall bsck on, instead, became the "main stay" of the UK version of the sport, and a "free for all"... Take the DU's away and both leagues wouldn't fill the 14 teams left without using many NDL level riders... The Championship in particular would struggle given these riders make up the majority of their HL's, and, the top tier effectively subsidise the riders salaries so the riders are "affordable"... A typical short sighted unfit for purpose "fix" which each year got bigger and more essential, rather than it ever being reset, and used for what it was initially set up for...

Yes you did, read back your replies to PhilTheACE. Your basically stating most Aces fans wouldn't be happy as it meant signing Kildermand.

Shame really. Absolutely superb around Northside but his away form has probably left him without a team. I thought he'd be at Scunny for sure. Strange how he worded his statement though - "change of plan". Wonder if a team, such as scunny, has had a change of heart

Antti posted on Facebook no UK team place this season.

A track he wasn't get paid at, in a team that was on a downer. Total different environment at belle vue. He was much better at Berwick due to the environment

Unfortunately the malaise the sport finds itself is because riders like bomber have kept their cash register ringing twice over rather than once!

Unfortunately when the patient is given extra morphine dose after dose we all know what the outcome will be!

You don’t until they announce each round, however they have said for 2026 they will give the information earlier than previously.

That's interesting, Maybe Kildemand is a temporary signing until the end of May?

It is bonkers on the one hand you have to give credit that they are prepared to stump up and loose money to keep the tracks going in some cases serious sum's are burned through but equally you think as you highlight you could not decide to deal yourself a worse set of cards if you tried to make your product as unattractive to fans and sponsors alike as has been the case this year.

It was a fairly matter-of-fact statement that I found on sportowefakty, which also reports he's been suspended by Svemo for the entirety of May 2026, as they issue his license I assume it's not just from the Swedish league? I'm not seeing Hellstrom-Bangs or Charles Wright listed as desirable signings for the Witches in that thread.

Lidsey had a mare that night in all fairness. End of the day, Kildemand's GSA for Oxford riding @ No.4 from 6 Meetings was 3.56 (Home) and 4.00 (Away) Including Bonus Points.

Might be cheaper to get Picko in.

Heat 05: Z Cook, Kildemand, Lidsey, Janowski 4-2 (17-13) 60.89 Heat 12: Kildemand, Lidsey, Mulford, Riss (Fell, Excluded) 3-3 (44-28) Awarded

He said in the Polish press that he wants too.

Unless he drops his rates considerably I can’t see anyone paying Rew what he was on at Birmingham. He was on more than nearly all the GP riders to ride in the UK and my understanding he has the same view this year pay what I want or I won’t ride in UK as lives in Poland anyway

In the current Speedway Star, Bomber is quite critical of the way the sport has been allowed to drift into the situation it now finds itself in... He said the demise of Birmingham and the non running of Oxford was known "halfway through last season" and they should have sorted the current issues out well before now, instead of "leaving it to the last minute, again"... "It's frustrating, I have said to a lot of people how grown men can't just sit in a room and sort it out once and for all. It's beyond me why it's taken this long. The powers that be knew we were in trouble"...... Still no fixture lists exist? Still no conformation of what competitions will take place? How do fans plan time off work to follow their team? How do riders inform sponsors of what coverage they will get? Incredible really isn't it?

But every team is weaker due to this 37.00 points limit, which I find bizarre consider there are two less teams... What makes you think Hellstrom-Bangs is even interested in riding over here, he never has before. I find this quite odd, an Ipswich fan on this forum (not sure who) has said that Kurtz has been the best visitor to Foxhall since lockdown and Ipswich fans seemed happy enough when they thought Bewley was going to be their #1.

I didn't say that at all.

A guy called Shaun Brown who posted on this site as SCB @Pinny knows who I'm talking about.

Kildemand false GSA from riding against reserves, Not a No.4 as shown by gbspeedway.com stats.

Nonsense post this, you can have your opinion, but you stated Aces fans wouldn't have wanted both the top 2 back, which is wrong. The Aces have won 2 titles this decade with big top 2, it will always win you more over the years. Not many Aces fans would swap them.

who's that then

Surely your not admitting that the Championship is totally reliant on the Premiership and that without it you don't get the riders you want/need.....

I did not say it wasn't I mean't he is not the same rider as he was then.
