It’s imperative that we have a league where all teams are competitive. Last season wasn’t great once Belle Vue emerged as would be winners mid season but it was a vast improvement on the previous year.  In 2025 Ipswich assembled an all conquering team that all had as champions with many saying they would go unbeaten all season and that it was the best top flight team since 1998. The trophy was sorted before a wheel was turned making for an uneventful league campaign. The points difference between top and bottom was a staggering 37 points (compared to the more competitive season after where the difference was only 26). Even the difference between play offs or not was 19 (only 5 in ‘26). Having a team like Birmingham cut adrift when losing a number one to a cheque book club using him as a third heat leader is just so far from seeing the bigger picture that it’s just sad. I remember the Brummies fondly and how we could do with them now in our scaled down league.  We need to continue moving in the right direction as we did last year following the rather numb 2025 season. Will they learn, we will see.  https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2025-premiership-table-fixtures-results/ https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2026-premiership-table-fixtures-results/ https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/22584/ipswich-premiership-semi-final-2024

Which Poole fans didn't want him back 

Fk knows I don't even care I just had it pop up on FB 

I thought this was an open secret that everyone already knew? At least this is confirmation.

Not required for speedway at Poole either I understand.😁
