It's a worrying thought that the current set up might be the least worst and needs to be maintained. IF we have a combined league, it's unlikely that it will stick to Mondays and Thursdays race nights so it's highly unlikely that Premiership riders who race in Poland will continue to ride in the UK. This would be the death knell of the sport as there wouldn't be enough riders and there would be a huge drip in standards. Some way has to be found to shire up the Premiership to six teams. Can Oxford be persuaded to stay, even if it means dropping their Championship side. Would Poole or Glasgow be prepared to move up if they get to retain their current race night - messy but the last card in the pack.

Read the post,we can't carry on as we are or do you think things are going well for British speedway. Loads of ideas being floated around you must be aware of them or do you live in a cave. As I said something radical

Doyle and Lindgen have been past their best, the new guard Holder, Bewley, etc havent as yet stepped up to the level of consitency required, Lambert looks way off too, there are wild cards that really shouldnt be at the level getting qualification due to their nationalitly not ability, far from the days of world finals when several riders in the field could be seen as realistic winners. Only for Brady there is nobody stepping up. Then you have the scoring system where you can afford to score say 8 points win the final and collect 20 yes its the same for everyone but my point about eras is riders couldnt afford to drop so many points and have a hope of being crowned champion, Loram for example became champion without actually winning a round. No one is doubting Zmarsliks talent on a bike but to say hes the best that has ever sat on a bike i dont agree with. The best of his era definately.

And Kai, swap with Emil and Łaguta.

What can be tried ? Nobody else has the answers but sounds like you do… let us know please!

Cheerio Kvech, hope you don`t get a wild card next year

Was it the same former world champion that was pretending to masturbate with the trophy when he was walking it out onto the centre accompanied by 2 minors on global TV?

Also remember Kurtz coped with all the pressure PLUS running over half his heats with a warning, one slip and he would have been done.

Hasn't Lambert just very much reverted to type? Last year was his exceptional season finishing 2nd... the sport is littered with former world number 2's.

What if they were both to finish much lower down in the points with Kurtz 3 points higher than Zmarzlik, Kurtz 13th and Zmarzlik 16th for example, or 12th and 15th, 11th and 14th etc. etc.

He guaranteed a Wilcard.IMO.

Sprint points really are the biggest crock of doggy doo. Which genius came up with that idea I wonder...

Hopefully some radical changes to the present set up which obviously is not working, what have we got to lose by trying something different. One league,smaller teams etc,we all know what can be tried.

Don't think his list about who he does or doesn't like? It's about his experience at the Club? ( i could be wrong) To leave people off is a polite way of saying what all Brummie fans with half a brain know already! H Man has closed his chapter with dignity!

And plenty of scenario’s if both fail to reach the final.

Thats too easy.

Thats too easy.

For it to be a tie, at least one of them would need to fail to get to the final plus the other would need to come fourth.

Another sticking plaster no doubt.

My Top 20 Riders on current form as at 31.8.25 are now as follows:- 01-Max Freicke-1070 02-Jack Holder-1050 03-Ryan Douglas-1040 04-Brady Kurtz-1000 05-Dan Bewley-940 06-Emil Sayfutdinov-930 07-Richard lawson-925 08-Sam Masters-890 09-Jason Doyle-860 10-Tom Brennan-850 11-Josh Pickering-840 12-Keynan Rew-820 13-Chris Holder-810 14-Jamon Lidsey-790 15-Matej Zagar-740 16-Leon Fllint-735 17-Maciej Janowski-710 18-Rohan Tungate-700 19-Charles Wright-695 20-Jan Kvech-680

Feel for you here lot of miles involved. Hugely frustrating especially after all the dry weather this summer.

Emigrate to Poland

started to rain in Worky at 2:30pm and was on and off after that sometimes quite heavy. The forecast for today on the BBC changed last night to more sunshine and less showers so it will probably pour down this evening. Weather accuracy is still not great even with all the data fed into computer models.

Super heat surely 😂😂😂

Don't know what's best for the sport but having to deal with certain people I'm seriously thinking of walking away.
